Nice course

The condition of the course varies a lot from hole to hole, lacking proper maintenance

To the old guy who didn’t want to pair up and being a straight douche

Two solos paired up at the same time but when we met up at the first tee greeted him and asked him if he wanted to pair up to not hold up the pace, but old man said “I’m only playing nine HOLES!” Okay it’s a twilight round most likely we’re only gonna play nine obliviously. Old man still tees up on the blue tees and manages to loose every bal off the first shot plus waiting for group to clear off from 300 yards like he’s gonna blast a 3 wood off the rough like buddy you’re not. Overall course is getting way better and staff can’t be more friendly great vibe overall but old mans who thinks they pga pros just gotta face reality that you’re not him.

Interesting lay out, good course, but needs more management.

Great facility to practice other game, because the price range was great and somewhat challenging. Good experience.

Around the greens are great, tee boxes are too. Fairways still need work. No sand in bunkers. Also, how can restaurant have no cook at 2.30.

Very bad. Do not waste your money

my partner and I agreed that this is the worst course we have ever played on in our entire lives. This is over 30 years golfing in all parts of the world. The conditions were so bad. It’s like trying to golf in a gravel pit.

Course needs work

The fairways were in horrible condition, not groomed and lots of dirt patches.

The pace of play was so slow we couldn’t finish our round in 5 1/2 hours.
