Ground (course) under repair!

Pros: good for practice (from the tee and fairway).

Cons: overpriced, all greens under repair (more sand on the greens than in the bunkers), trash on each hole, ball washers filled with mud, no ranger (slow… slow pace), and people starting on hole 10 making the round even longer than it should be.

underwhelming

basically, the course offers only the basic playing experience. Playing conditions can be hit or miss depending on weather conditions. Many restrictions are imposed without adequate public notice ( no gas carts until further notice for example) and staff are working on the course and somewhat interfering with play.

this course is not for the serious golfer and best for someone seeking casual game play with a few friends!

Terrible

The decline continues with no end in sight. Relative to last year - they have burnt down and cut down a lot of trees and shrubs around the course exposing it even more to the highways, dumped a ton of sand on all the greens given they got completely destroyed last year, the fairways are poorly maintained with water and mud everywhere. The list goes on and on and not sure why no one does anything about this nicely located course.

50$ for those conditions. That aside, nice course layout. Club house restaurant looks nice. I am not sure if I would return in summer.

Mixed Bag

Great check in staff, inside. Super nice, super helpful. . Zero starter or coordination of tee off's and rate of play. Also a lot of jerks deciding they don't want to wait for their tee time so they jump to the 10 hole and start piling people up and screwing up the enjoyment of the round.

Greens were in awful shape. They should shut the course down and let everything heal up. Do not play here if you want to putt.

Garbage

So with the bad weather today we called just to check if they would be open. Called 3 separate times and no answer and left a voicemail. I decided to drive there early enough to find out they were open just not answering calls. They also notified me it’s walking only and no notice of that at all before hand. Canceled my tee time

Bumpy or temporary greens right now

Good walkable course and affordable but this Sunday (fall) half the greens were temporary and the greens they did have operational were so bumpy they were still unputtable. That really made for a less enjoyable round. Understand fall golf anything can happen but they really should inform u when u make a reservation for tee time.

This place sucks

Half the greens were in the fairway, the guy working the snack bar was rude, place hasn’t been mowed in a year, carts were so slow, tee box were ripped to shreds, leaves everywhere so you can’t find your ball even in the fairway.

Worst course ever

Idk if the green is under construction or not, they just put the flag on the fairway as green, the overall condition is too bad to play, we left after 9th hole. Really horrible course and bad experience!
