Fairways in tough shape

The course has gone downhill each year over the past 3 years. So much potential on this course. Sad that the fairways are beat up so bad . Greens were okay. Staff inside and out are awesome. We decided yesterday that we would not come back.

Horrible conditions

Course was in horrible condition. Many bare and massive dirt areas in fairways. Greens slow and not in good shape. Figured the amount of play reflected the course conditions and cost. If looking for a decent course I would not recommend

Poor Conditions

Very poor conditions. Not worth the drive. Better off paying more money to play somewhere else. $60 is too much to charge for this course.

Kind of rough

There is considerable amount of ground under repair and most of the greens are rather rough.

Truly terrible conditions

Course was to the point they should close down. Greens had several spots each with sand and dirt. Fairways had dirt patches 20-30 yards long. No beverage service except for the turn (people were terrific and food was good). Ponds were gross. Mud everywhere (no rain anytime in past week or two).

We had out of town guests and I was embarrassed to have taken them here.

Hello Robdowing,

Thank you for your review and we apologize for your unpleasant experience last week. We realize the course is not in normal condition right now, and are working hard to correct it. We have been fertilizing heavier due to the conditions, which is why the course was wetter than normal.

Greens need lot of work and course was fairly muddy

Allegedly the longest course in the state from the tips, which is all it has going for it. I felt like taking at least 5 shots off my score because the greens didn't roll consistently. No coolers, sand, or gps on the carts. Also, the starter was awfully grumpy.

Nice Track

Course was in pretty decent shape. Some bare spots here and there but coming back nicely. Most bunkers had sand and most greens and tees were really good. People were great and finished in 4:15 minutes. Can't beat the price compared to the Valley where rougher looking courses are going for $100+. Will be back

Not so good

Have played the course before. A bib disappointment this time. Terrible condition. Before the greens were quite good This time not so good. . Save your money. R

There was more grass on the range than anywhere on the course.

Ok for the money but needs work

For $45 with a cart it was ok, but there is no grass in a lot of the fairways and some of the greens are in tough shape. The good thing is you can hit it anywhere and find your ball and play it. Not many hazards. Too many geese and other birds all over the course making a mess. Would only play again to save money and have a fairly easy round.
