Good Hot Deal course

The fairways were being aerated, so carts were restricted to roughs only. This slowed play a bit. Greens were in good shape.

Terrible

The back nine had been aerated and was closed. The front nine had been aerated the day before. The fairways were closed and all shots had to be from the rough. No discount was offered due to these conditions. We refused to play here considering g the conditions.

This course is in terrible shape

We were not informed that they were air rating the back 9 until we arrived, this is a problem with the Golf Now app that needs to be fixed.

The fairways are the worse I have seen all summer. There is so much crab grass we lost balls in the middle of the fairway. This was our first time playing here, it will also be our last. Do not waste your time and money playing here.

Horrible Conditions and Angry Old Ladies

Thought I would try this course out since I was in the area and I hadn’t played there in a while. The course was never my favorite due to the length and layout but in the past it was at least in decent shape. Currently this is the worst course I have played in my life by far, and I have played a lot of golf. I’m not sure if they have switched over to new management who have abandoned the course or if the fairways have some sort of disease but the conditions of the course are completely unplayable. By the end of the round I was trying to hit the ball in the rough because the fairways were in such poor shape. Did not see anything but crabgrass the entire round and where there wasn’t crabgrass there was dirt. To add insult to injury we were yelled at by a crotchety old woman who lived near by for driving off the cart path for a split second and ruining this once beautiful course. You are better off going to a driving range or playing a round of putt putt the conditions will be better. Do not waste your time or money.

Nice afternoon playing golf

We are beginners to the sport and this course was great for us. Challenging but not intimidating. It was also reassuring to us that the caliber of play around us was comparable to ours. We enjoyed our round and will definitely return for more golf here. Paying through Golf Now was easy and we were in and out of the pro shop in minutes.

Had a later tee time as part of the Best Deal, but they allowed us to tee off about 50 mins earlier. This was a big deal considering it was the middle of August and the heat index was through the roof. The staff was friendly and understanding.

Sadly disappointed ...

Today I thought get out for a nice round of golf...played front side in a really reasonable time. However, when I came to the back side hole ten had a group on it, and it got worse ahead of this group. There’s no doubt in my mind these groups started on number 10. Typical for course’s that don’t account for there golfers. I waited so long I eventually bypassed and went to front side to get in a few more holes. I was then stopped by an individual that wanted to check my ticket for it’s validity. Of course it was, however, he said there was no way it took me this long to play and I’d have to leave the course. I would say to anyone give this course a try and see if you get your value for your money. Anyone that plays a reasonable round of golf ... This course will leave you dissatisfied. Happy golfing my fellow golfers!

Goat pasture

I have probably played on a more poorly maintained course, but I can’t remember when. They pride themselves on the difficulty of the course, and that is fine, but if you’re going to make the layout difficult, you need to maintain the fairways and tee boxes. Most of the fairways and approaches are hitting off sand and the greens are all pock marked. The grassy parts of the fairways are crabgrass. I can’t recommend this course.

Course has a good layout and was in good shape. There are a few risk/reward opportunities that require a well placed shot. Pace of play seems to always be good.

Saturdaze

We started out at 8:20 nice crisp breeze great weather conditions. Many of the sand hazards were not raked and some over grown. The rough and the greens were not very well maintained. For a moderately technical course you would expect a little more out of the grounds crew. Overall still a great place to golf and for an early tee time on a Saturday with great weather you can’t beat the cost for a quality golf outing.

One of my favorites

Overall as the title says it's one of my favorite courses to play, no complaints at all, favorite part is they have not been that crazy busy any of the times I've played. I'll definitely be playing there again.

Mixed Bag

Though the course overall was in good condition, I hadn't been to the course in five years. Probably would've scored better if we knew where we were hitting half the time. Should be a book providing tips for each hole but all the course had was yardage books which didn't help. Also, the signage for many holes, particularly on the back nine, was horrendous. Several times we came to a fork in the road with no signs at all. Forgot this course didn't have a range either. Aargh!
