Decent Round

Four of us played a round this past Saturday for a pals birthday. The course was in decent shape for being so late and we enjoyed it but we had one real issue - the staff person in the clubhouse was pretty rude. We showed fairly early (about 25 min or so before our tee time) and noticed there was ZERO back up. We stated we were early and she bluntly said, "come back at 2". When inquiring why we couldn't just get an early start we were told, "We don't allow golfnow specials out any time BUT the scheduled tee time." No sorry or tactful explanation. Felt like because we booked through GN and didn't pay the full $70 (which the course is NOT worth btw) we were taking money out of her pocket. I don't know, maybe they had a bad day. Overall, the experience was fine and the course is worth it for below $40.

this course is a nice test of ur skills

the problem i had was there was no starter on the first tee people just teed off when they felt like it and later at the sixth hole here coms the ranger say the course is all backed up behind well maybe if they started at the correct interval they would not have that duh and there is a problem with holes and tees being so close and most of the golfers dont give a hoot they just yell and talk all arround the course (not much edicate there) would be a pleasure without some of the idiots.

This course is not kept well.

The fairways and greens were atrocious. This used to be such a great course and it is clear that management is not investing resources into the upkeep and maintenance of this course.

Most Greens well kept

Staff friendly, they are constantly improving course if you compare ti to two years ago its like night and day. They have a lot of play and it shows on tees they could use improvement but all in all especially with discounted price I'd recommend to a friend.

Needs work, but has potential. Staff friendly and they try.

Negatives::The fairways and tee boxes are filled with crabgrass and bare spots. The cart paths are hard to find and finding the next hole can be a bit of a task. If the cart paths were visible and easy to find the grass would take a lot less abuse. If you played on the weekend I can see this course being a cluster-mess. The grass areas around tee boxes and greens need to be roped off and new grass planted.

Positives:: Besides the first hole the greens were actually in pretty good shape. The course is fairly easy and very wide open, if your drive is bad you can still hit your second shot off of adjacent fairways. Staff was friendly. Played on a gloomy/overcast weekday so the pace of play was fast.

To be honest the nicest looking hole on the course is the 19th hole. I would play again at a golfnow discount. 25$ or less is about right for this.

Course needs upkeep

From what I understand this used to be a course in nice shape, but whatever happened over the latter part of this summer needs to be fixed because it is rougher than Colonial Terrace in Wanamassa right now, and that is not a good thing.

Faster

Rangers think it is Liberty National... We played about 2hr 10 min front nine... Ranger told us we were playing to slow pick up the pace...we explained we were waiting for the group in front... To which he replied "hit into them... Don't wait... We played a 4.5 hour rd on a Sunday morning at a public course. How much faster can a foursome play... I will not be back!!!

Fun and Easy

It is a fun course to play. At times it can be a little tired, however they are always working to improve the course conditions which you have to appreciate. The fairways are wide and the greens are fine. Most of the lies are flat. It's not a good walking course, carts are recommended. There's a nice little bar on sight and hot dog stand at the turn. Expect a little attitude when you book through Golf Now as a single, however that's too be expected at any course.

Nice value and fair course

Not hard with some challenging holes.
A few easy ones also with wide fairways the good golfers can score well. I'm not one of them but I like the course a lot.

Slow Play, Horrible Conditions

No bang for the buck here at all. 5 hour plus round on a weed patch. Save your money and play anywhere else.

Course needs work.

The course setup is a little quirky. Fairways are in poor condition.
Greens were ok. Staff was very pleasant. Needs work, especially the fairways. Would not recommend this course.-Jack T.

Loss of trees makes play faster

Play this course often. Since the trees have been removed post-Sandy and a couple of sand traps replaced by grass this course plays a little quicker. We are used to a 5 hour round! This year has seen lots of improvements all for the better!

This golf course needs a lot of work - fairways and tee boxes in particular.

I used to be a regular when the state ran the course and this was my first time playing since new ownership took over. My buddyand I looked forward to playing an old friend once again. We both aniticipated a new and improved course as the rates and hype indicated as such. To our dismay the course was in worse shape from when we used to play it - very disappointed to say the least !

Nice place to score!!

While the course has a lot of water damage it
really does have some nice visual holes and nice
greens to putt on!! You can score here if you
keep your ball in play!!

This course needs attention

Could be a great course but the greens were terrible. Tee boxs were all chewed up and fairways were average. Great lay out and design. Not worth $60 in the condition I played it in. I have played here in the past and the course wasn't nearly this bad. Hope they fix it soon.

This course is in very good condition

This course was in very good condition. The course is very short but still tough. The greens are in great shape and the pin locations were very difficult. Overall, this was very good value and I would recommend the course to others.
