Course needs a lot of attention

At some point in time, this course must have been beautiful. Not now. Maybe the worse shape I’ve ever seen a course.

Not worth it

Tee boxes are terrible. Fairways have very little grass. Very tight and tree roots on all edges of every hole. Carts are old, slow and uncomfortable.

Yikes

This course has gone dramatically downhill. The fairways are in horrible condition, grass in the rough in bad need of cutting and sand traps hard as a rick and over grown with weeds. Cart paths are in dire need of repaving. Very disappointing as this was a beautiful course just a few years ago.

Terribly neglected course

This probably was a nice course in a nice housing development at one time. Now the houses are beautiful but the course has been neglected for years, and it shows it. See the image of fairway #6. This was one of the worst, but many were similar... totally unplayable. Everything else was also falling apart including the cart paths (full of holes with orange warning markers), the hazards... ponds and bunkers were overgrown and neglected. Even the golf carts seemed like originals from 10-20 yrs ago... cracked up and dirty with the loudest engines I have ever heard and clutches that screeched at every start-up. All the blue & white tee boxes were combined into one... no doubt to save maintenance. The course itself is jammed between rows of nice houses... very tight with ruined fairways that send the ball bouncing in all directions. Hardly a single lie was playable. I mean it was BAD. Not sure where they are spending the green fees, because it's not to maintain the course. We will never be back. So sorry.

So bad

Go anywhere else. This is worth $25 tops. Bad carts, dirt fairways, debris everywhere. Blind shots galore. Bad design

Fairways are in poor condition. The grass was better in the rough. Greens were fine. Golf carts need maintenance,, cracked windshields, poor acceleration from stop. Cart pathswere falling apart.

Good for the money

Affordable and super friendly staff! Some of the greens and fairways were a mess, but if you’re just looking for a good time, it’s perfect.

Costs way too much, new ownership jacked up price ( although I believe all area courses charge too much) … course is tough and tight, years of underwatering and lack of maintenance have taken a toll, hope the new owners put the time and monies needed into it.

Could be so much more.

First and foremost they charge more on golfnow then the actual standard rate which i have NEVER experienced. They didn't not have crew out at all. Greens not blown off, tee boxes not mowed in days and whoever cut them last didn't even put a significant number of tee markers back. Course plays tight and will make you hate your driver. A lot of potential amd worth a try.

Fairways are burnt

First time playing here in 2 years and will not go back. The fairways are in terrible condition and burnt on many holes. The pace of play was horrible. Finally, we were asked to wait 20 minutes in the fairway on the 18th hole because a wedding was going on at the first tee. Don’t waste your time or money on this terrible golf course !

Sad decline

I’ve played in here in the past and always considered it one of the “nicer” courses in my area. When I had some family come in from out of town I insisted we play there to shoot a nicer course but that’s not what we found this time. Patchy brown fairways. Trees overgrown blocking parts of the cart path. We even lost two balls in rough areas because there were yards and yards of just dead grass piles. Carts need to badly be washed. The staff was really nice but the touches that show pride and care are not present here
