New owners working hard.

We played this course again on Sunday, Lets start with the staff, They are all pleasant and helpful. The pace of play was fantastic, From my last review the rough has been cut, definitely helping pace of play as you don't have to search for your ball anymore. The fairways are filling at a nice rate, the rough was in really good shape since it was just freshly mowed with no leftover clippings. I have to say the sandtraps are in need of help. As for the greens they are coming along but im sure that it will just be a matter of time. Again i will continue to be honest with conditions and hope the new management continues to improve this course.

New owners and already seeing some positive signs

My wife and I play this course for an affordable practice round. The layout is challenging enough but usually the conditions are par with the affordability. Got there and were greeted by very friendly staff who set us up in brand new golf carts. They just arrived. Greens were in decent shape and fast new flags in every hole. Work was being done on many of the sand traps. The course has a ways to go the fairways need water and the cart paths are bumpy and in need of maintaining but this was the most improvement I’ve seen in the last few years. Hope the new owners continue to work on it. It could be turned into a hidden gem.

Nice layout

Of the many times I played this course over the years, the conditions were the poorest yesterday. Grass on fairways was ok but there was an extraordinary amount of dirt patches on most. Greens were a bit bumpy with some bare spots. The rough was inconsistent and bunkers were basically dirt with a lot of grass growing in them.

The best improvement since the smart phone

I have played this course many times over the past few years. It is no secret that this course needed improvements since then. Since the new owner, Mitch Primas, took over, the course has made very impressive improvements. The price is great, the staff- Thomas, Chad, Mick, and others are friendly and genuine. It is a pleasure to play here and I would recommend it to any golfer. The greens have gone from patches to near perfect in just five weeks. The bunkers are edged and fluffy as they should be. I will continue to play here and am proud to call a course that is 20 miles away from me my home course. Thank you Skitch for the great course l, and not so for your genuine personality that makes playing here an incredible experience.

First Time Playing

One of the worst courses I have ever played. The fairway was like the rough at other courses. The green had craters all over them. Therefore, the ball bounced all over the place because the conditions did not allow the ball to roll. They had a high school shotgun match and a men’s league scheduled at the same time that we had a tee time. The pace of play was awful. This was worst golfing experience I ever had in about 15 years of playing golf.

Good value course

This course has potential. It just needs some loving and money to make it better. The staff does work hard but again needs financing to make this course better.

New Centerton

Played last Sunday, Staff was great to deal with, Now knowing this course has been ran down to the ground, we heard of new management and decided to give it a try. Tee boxes were ok, fairways and rough in decent shape, bunkers needed grooming and the greens just needed some time to fill in after being aerated All in all we were not unhappy actually were delighted that someone is trying to bring this old girl back to shape. we will play again and with more frequency. Best of luck to the new owners and continue the forward progress..

New management

I haven’t played centerton since last season and then it was getting rough. What a pleasant surprise this time around! Greens were in great shape, fast and true. The fairways were good and everything was maintained. I look forward to playing here again soon.

Happy to see the course improvements

We have been golfing at Centerton about 15 years. The course is under new management and we have been witnessing many improvements. We are hopeful and excited at the prospect of the course being restored back to it’s former glory. Centerton is a beautiful property with lots of potential.

It’s March so the jury is out. I anticipate with work this course will be a great buy. The 19th has the best bbq. The drinks were expensive but good.

New Mgmt

It's early, the area apparently over winter was hit hard storms, trees down all over place, only 1 hole did a tree come into play it was blocking cart p.k ath 11th hole. Course itself needs help but playable for $20, anymore right now go elsewhere.

ABit suprising

Course is in bad shape, not wanting to put the place down, but it needs alot of work. Pro shop guy said it was just bought and new owners. Hope they get busy quick,. Wd six eat in restaurant, food was good , service and staff were great, but right now ,course is only good for some cheap practicing.

Decent Day

At $14 including "convenience fee" this was a bargain. Still early season, conditions were less than ideal; the greens in particular left much to be desired. However, under the circumstances my partner and I considered this to be a great bargain.

It is Feb.

Went to play because it was a nice day. A bit of breeze, some sun and 60 deg..And of course a "HOT DEAL" was available.

Conditions on the course were what I expected for Feb. golf.

I will go back.

Submerged

Centerton proved to be a good choice for 2 reasons, HotDeal price of $17+ and a course that couldn't be "cart path only" in that there are virtually none. As a result, at times our golf cart doubled as an amphibious vehicle as we negotiated swamp-like conditions through most every fairway. Otherwise the course offers expansive fairways, for the most part flat and lacking many bunkers. Several of the greens have interesting undulations although their condition was sketchy. Our cart gave out on the 7th tee, requiring staff to bing us a replacement, which appeared shortly after notifying the proshop. Evidently, the carts are reportedly aging, so that our experience was not uncommon. Considering that this was mild December day following several days of rain, a pair of Dry Joys together with lift-clean-and-place made it an unexpectedly enjoyable round of golf.
