New course

This is a beautiful course and so fun and challenging holes. But it has a long way to go to be perfect. Don’t go expect a pro course yet. They are trying to get it back up and to a great course.

Needs ALOT of work

Reopened a couple years ago after 8 years in disrepair. Still needs alot of work. We were the only twosome to play that day, for a reason. No fairways/tee boxes to speak of. Everything cut to same length which would be rough at any other course. Greens unputtable. Like putting through the rough. Layout is decent if it were maintained properly. If I were owner, I'd feel guilty charging anybody to play with the course in this condition. Close for 6 months. Kill all greens and reseed. Buy proper mowers to cut the grass to proper lengths. Hire a golf course superintendent who knows what they're doing. Again, property/layout not terrible. Just needs alot of work before you can consider it a golf course.

Needs work; great people but overpriced for what it is right now. It’ll be great when they get the greens ready.

A work in progress

Maybe one day this course will be restored but as of now it is almost unplayable. You can not putt except in maybe 3 greens and even then they are not even mediocre. Be prepared to lose balls in the fairways. It is a mess.

Don't waste your money

The greens are unplayable. It felt like I was hitting a put in the generally direction of the hole and playing Plinko with grass blades. I've seen fairways cut shorter than these greens. I played 4 holes and couldn't do it anymore. I asked for a refund and they wouldn't give it to me and only offered a rain check. I would seriously not pay $10 to play this course. Charging $35 is highway robbery.
