Terrible Pace of Play

Round took 45 minutes over their suggested time. We tee’d off at 1:05 and ended at like 5:50-6. I wouldn’t suggest playing here unless you don’t mind waiting for every single shot.

Tall Rough

Narrow fairways with very long rough. Take a lot of balls if you don't regularly hit it in the fairway!

Perfect weather
Used cart

New carts with GPS are an improvement

Was pleasantly surprised to see new carts and that they were equipped with GPS! Also, a few of the cart paths have been patched up with new asphalt but still broken up in many places. The bad thing was that on two occasions, we were on the cart path but the GPS stopped us as it thought we were somewhere way off it. We literally had to drive our cart in reverse to get to the next hole.

All that said, the course itself still isn’t very good but is slightly improved from the last time I played there. The practice putting green right next to hole 1 was barren and almost dead.

As usual, the greens were halfway decent. A few were bad and the fourth was nearly unplayable with three long strips of torn up turf. Tee boxes were flat out awful, the fairways were spotty and the rough was OK in spots but dead in other places. The tee boxes at 5 and 12 were redone, which was much needed.

It is an inexpensive track to play with a couple of decent holes. On a perfect weekend day, the course was packed but surprisingly we played in about 4:15!

Terrible Course Management

Truly terrible course management. Cart path only in bone dry summer with gps carts restricting movement. Only part of the course in decent condition was the greens, the tee boxes and fairways were in horrendous condition and clearly aren’t given much attention. Staff was unfriendly and need a ranger to keep pace of play

No Rain Checks

I played nine holes. It started thunderstorming on hole 10. I asked for a rain check but wasn't aware that since I booked through the Golf Now app, they could not offer me a nine-hole rain check like all other golfers were receiving. I wouldn't say I liked that, but that is their policy. The staff was very friendly about everything, though!

Customer is always wrong

Tee boxes are awful, fairways just as bad. Greens are just ok. Course management decided to spend a bunch of money on new carts.

Today was cart path only and the new carts would shut down if driven off the path. But today they decided to stop running on the path too. After sinking my putt on 9, I couldn’t get the cart to move forward so had to back up to the clubhouse. The gentleman informed me I must have driven off the path. He was quite aggressive with his comments. I’m 65 years old and understand what Cart Path Only means. The back nine was even worse, we ended up backing up most of it. I thought it was just us, but noticed later almost everyone was driving backwards!

May I have my money back?

Never again!

Not bad

Course was pretty soggy with all the rain in the beginning of April. But overall was a good layout. Had some elevation changes on holes but wasn't too crazy. Good intermediate course.

Web site incorrect infoI.

We had t-time for 4:20 (3 players). I looked at the web site before driving out there and it said OPEN.

When we arrived the gate was locked. It was a 25 minute drive for 2 of us and a 45 minute drive for the third player.

We enjoy playing this course but that’s no way to operate!

Regards, rick

Web site misinformation

We had a 4:20 t-time on 4/29. I checked their website before driving out there and saw that the course was OPEN ( it had rain the previous night and that’s the reason I checked the web before going).

When we arrived ,the course was gated and closed. 3 of us drove out there (2 cars) only to find the course closed ( I checked the website again while sitting at the gate and it said OPEN).

Not happy about wasting our time based on bad info that was provided on their website.
