Not a bad course but with a little TLC could be SO much better. Greens were in terrible condition and overall care of course was lacking.

Overall good

A nice round, got done in under 4 hrs. Course in good shape, only issues was either 5th or 11th hole. It was covered in fertilizer, felt like a sandbox. But everything else was good. Staff is very friendly.

This course is a bit tired…

Overall course is in fair shape. It’s getting to the end of the season, so I get the course is a bit beat up. Also get that there is COVID 19 but it’s the same everywhere. Price is higher but assuming your paying for location. Facilities like the driving range are worn out. Just feels like this course hasn’t received any real upgrades in a while.

Worse than Bad

I don’t even know where to begin to be honest. I guess I’ll start with the fact that it took 5.5 hours to get through a round. Starter basically sat in his cart at the first tee box and did absolutely nothing to keep the pace of play moving. The course was in terrible shape. Every green had either dirt or sand patches all over the place. The person on the 10th tee concession stand did nothing but complain about having to work, the way he’s treated at work, and the fact that the course is terribly run. Then to top off the round that ended at 7:30pm, I left a pair of sunglasses in my cart by accident, realized where I left them once I got home, tried to call the golf course and got no answer. I tried calling again the next morning and didn’t get an answer until 11:00. When I finally did get someone on the phone he asked what kind of sunglasses they were then immediate said “nope haven’t seen them.” I was clearly the last person to use the cart the day prior, so whatever employee was in charge of cleaning that cart clearly stole them instead of turning them in. Don’t waste your time playing here. There’s plenty of other places you can get through 2 full rounds in 6 hours.
