Recent reviews are true

Conditions were a disgrace. Greens are shot. Tee boxes range from ok to bare dirt, to weeds as tall as the rough. Some fairways not mowed. Overall, a pretty decent layout but it need to be shut down and the greens repaired/replaced. Not worth paying a dime to play here as it is.

Don’t waste time or money

This place was able to accommodate 12 of us in the middle of the day on Fathers Day. There was a strong reason why. It’s in really bad shape. Greens are horrible (patches of sand and dirt throughout) and the fairway grass is cut the same length as the grass in my yard. Don’t waste your time.

Greens are like putting on the rough

This course should cost no more than $10 during any peak times. Absolutely horrendous conditions

Worst greens and tees I’ve ever experienced. Cool course layout and friendly staff. Invest more in greens and tees.

Horrible course

I wouldn’t play this chorus again if it was for free I played this course of 10 years ago so much better shape. By far the worst golf course in the state i paid $48 for 18 holes with a cart and quit after two holes, don’t waste your money

Loved the course but hate the condition.

The course is a perfect Wooden setting. Nice layout. Condition of the grass from tee to green were about the worst I have ever seen.

Fun layout, terrible greens

The staff was super helpful. The course layout is really fun. The only two downsides are the horrible conditions of the greens (played course 1) and the horrible etiquette of nearly all golfers encountered on this course. The latter is by no means a reflection of the course itself and had no weight in my overall rating. More so just sharing as a reminder to always keep your head on a swivel and never underestimate how horrible people’s aim can be despite them looking the part.

Nice terrain, awful maintenance.

I was very surprised at the slipshod level of care, considering the number of people who play the course. However, they are in a very accessible location to a large population.

Course #1

Nice track and affordable. Tee’s and fairway’s are decent. Green’s and bunker’s need a lot of work. When I play here I don’t keep score… I work on my game.
