Needs work

This corse needs work. The greens had so many dry and bare spots even if you putted a good putt it only had 50% chance of going in!

On hole literally had trash on the ground across the tee box. The signs show tee boxes for blue, red, white but only have 2 tee boxes not even marked with the right colors.

Ok for the price!

Staff is the best thing about this course. They are all friendly, helpful, easy to deal with. Course conditions might be among the worst I’ve seen. Awful greens with dirt patches, broken or missing hole signs, and some tee boxes were in rough shape with lots of trash (broken tees, Gatorade/beer containers) laying around.

For the price, $19 to walk 9, this course is a decent budget option.

Good value course

This course has a lot of areas that are in rough shape, the tee boxes are a bit beat up too. But for the price this is a good value. I wish they had a bar/restaurant. But they only have a snack shack. Staff are all super friendly and helpful.

Worst conditions ever

Literally have never seen greens in worse conditions, even just walking across golf courses in the winter. Huge sand pits Literally in the middle of the greens.

Just not worth any type of money

Greens were nonexistent and course is worse than expected. Yes it’s cheap but rather spend a little more for a real round elsehwere

A Great Day

The course has improved conditions, it has the best layout I’ve seen in a long time, the overall impression is that I would play this several days a week if I wasn’t so old

Play this course if you dare!

It is difficult to truly put into words the course conditions. It had been a while since I last golfed at Ponky. The layout of course #1 is actually very good. What isn't good, are the conditions. Most tee boxes are in poor shape, but I can overlook that, as you will be hitting off a tee. Most fairways are not in good condition, but if you just want to hit some golf balls, I can even overlook that. What cannot be overlooked hits you when you get to the 1st green. These greens are unquestionably the worst greens I have ever experienced. Sand, dirt, weeds, rocks, and when you can find grass, it will be thick and uncut,

and definitely not rolled. Most sand traps are a mess also. If you are able to overlook these imperfections, you might enjoy this course. Best aspects of the course are the friendly staff, and pace of play, as we finished 18 holes in under 3.5 hours walking. I do not envision myself returning to this course. In it's current state, it is an embarrassment!

Potential to be a great course

Starter wasn’t in control so it was chaotic on the first tee. A few holes have temp greens which we didn’t know about. Group in front of us kept apologizing for slow pace but wouldn’t do anything about it and wouldn’t let play through. #1 is in much better shape than #2, greens were actually “green” and course was playable.
