Greens bad

The course is in excellent shape, except for the greens, which were bare in some spots and with dirt/sand in others.

Spring Break trip

Course layout is great....nice fairways...tee boxes uneven and most greens have fungus damage..dry spots.

Most off course amenities closed in the afternoon..

Have to deal with one person bar staff....

Easy to deal with if the course was in better shape...

Not worth the 120+ green fees...it has been better

Greens were burnt out

Course was in good condition except the greens were in bad shape, burnt out or something. Large dirt patches .

Tee boxes were not cut. Price should have been lower based on condition of the greens.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I echo the sentiment of the previous comments. I thought going in I was mentally prepared for the poor course but I really can’t believe how poor this place is maintained. It is a boring straight course with very little excitement. The grass is terrible ALL OVER. Teebox, fairway, rough and greens are all terrible. And you know I love might be able to get over that if the freaking Marshall wasn’t rushing us the ENTIRE course to finish in under 4 hrs, the group behind us was no where in sight and he tried to tell us to play up at the 150 or skip the whole… I told him to go shove it. Normal pace is 4.5 hrs with a full group. This rushing really messed my game up and made it not enjoyable. To think I payed $150 to play a crappy course AND be rushed. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE play somewhere else for a few dollars more .. I can’t begin to tell you how many better courses there are… oh and I almost forgot about how crappy the artificial grass pad at the driving range is. I WILL NEVER PLAY HERE AGAIN.. AND RECOMMEND NO ONE ELSE

Nice course, greens need work

I really loved the course, the layout, pace of play, etc. The greens on multiple holes were jeans in some spots. For a $130/player a round I would expect the greens to be a lot better.

The tee boxes were all chopped up. The fairways were furry. Most all the greens had bare spots or erosion on them.

Ouch

The tee boxes were in good shape. Now the rest: greens awful. Fairways average or worse depending on which hole but little effort to remove leaves sticks etc. Cart paths have not been updated in a long time. Definitely not worth a spring premium price. Buyer beware.

Peak season prices, end of season conditions

I’ll be upfront, the greens are trash. More sand and dirt on them, than in the bunkers. No one fixes their pitch/ball marks and overall the price at a ‘resort course’ for the condition is ridiculous.

Great course horrible greens

I've played this course quite a few times over the last 5 years and have always loved it, but hadn't played here in about a year. The greens were absolutely unplayable. All of them. Everything else, fairways and bunkers, amenities, etc etc were great, but the greens are bad enough I will be staying away until I hear they're repaired. Hoping that's sooner than later.

The course has potential

The greens were terrible

The pace of play was the slowest of any course I have played

The staff was friendly and efficient

The marshal tried to his best to speed up play but it didn’t seem to help

This was the worst course I played ever.

The green we're the worst I've ever played.

The Clubhouse said there was only 2 greens that were not up to their satisfaction.It was more like fifteen greens.

Orange tree in terrible condition

The greens on this golf course are an absolutely atrocious condition and they should not be charging $100 green fees, and they should be disclosing the terrible conditions to people in advance.
