Course needs work, but OK value

As others have noted, this course has had some weather damage and hole #10 is playing as a par 3 (supposed to be par 5). Bunkers very hard packed, some damage to fairways and greens.

It could be a nice course, lots of water hazards and an interesting layout. Greens generally pretty good. Staff was friendly, easy to get a tee time and reasonable cost.

If you don’t expect too much this could be an OK choice.

Course in Terrible Condition

We knew from the reviews that course was not in good condition, but we were led to believe that was only a couple of holes. Not true. The monsoon really washed out too many fare ways. Greens were poor and sand traps were unusable. Course should be closed until it can be repaired.

Lots of potential

Course need work. Water, especially on tee boxes and fairways. The first hole being in the wash is horrible. As well as the 10th.

I love the layout of it. Greens were a little slower , but great to putt on.Bunkers not great. Need work.

Without my tee off discount, it wouldn’t be worth the green fee. The whole atmosphere around the starter area, is very poor. But it’s also on the wash, so that makes it unattractive.But with all said, I will go play there again.

I suppose if the course was all lush green, we’d be paying double green fees.

Don’t charge me for missing golf holes

Two holes damaged in last years storm are now make shift par 3’s. This is not disclosed in the on line sign up thru TeeOff. Probably because the course doesn’t want to tell the public

A challenging enough course with decent greens. It's a shame that flood waters have done their share of damage. Too bad that the overall condition is getting worse, rather than better over the past few years.

Good Value

The greens and layout are excellent. Most of the fairways are in good condition. Some of the bunkers were missing rakes and it was difficult at times to locate yardage markers in the fairways. Other than those two complaints, the course is challenging and worth playing.
