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
Challenging layout needs restoration
I hope someone is able to form an investment group and sink some money into improving this course. I have no idea what their finances are like from other revenue sources, but it seems this is a great design of a course that could really use someone making a financial commitment to restore the course to what must have been its former glory. As far as playing, it is tight, with narrow tree-lined fairways that will get you in trouble if you are hitting it sideways. Sloping and winding fairways make for challenging drives and approach shots. A great place to take an assessment of your long game. The greens would very dangerous if they were restored, as they are quite sloped also. WP also sits in a very nice community, which let you see the potential here.
improving
Course was in much better shape than last year. Played on a wet, cool day, no golfers on the course for the front 9. Pro shop staff very friendly. I am sure that we will be back.
Rough shape, slow play
Not a huge fan of the type of golf this course offers. Blind shots, target golf, etc. Course wasn't in the best condition, not terrible but not good either. Played behind a 6-some on the back nine for some reason. Never saw a ranger. 5 hour round which is unacceptable considering the early tee time. Price was ok for what it turned out to be. Probably won't visit this course again though.
