twilight. golf

was a twilight round, started out behind very slow group,

the let us play through after the 4th hole, there was nobody in front of us till we got to 10. Then very slow again. Not sure where the came from. However, that is the risk of twilight golf... The greens are good. The staff is exceptional. The fairways could use some work.. Overall a good day on the golf course.

Don’t waste your money

This course is in very rough shape. The fairways are cluttered with tree debris. It does not appear that the greens had been over seeded and are not the best. I golfed here before and was very surprised at the poor shape this course is in now.

Not great, poor value for money.

Some ridiculous pin positions, course not in good condition, far too many bare, scrubby areas. Just didn’t look like a high quality course.

Our first and last time

Sadly this course is in awful shape. Not worth the drive I am afraid. Even for the cheap price

Not worth the money

The course is in very poor condition especially on the front nine. It could be a nice course with some water and fertilizer

A Little Suprise

This was a last minute choice for a weekend round of golf. The entrance could use a little cleaning. The driving range lacked any real targets as your balls disappeared I to the sandy waste area.

Once on the course we enjoyed the nice little layout. Water hazards made this quite challenging. Fairway grass hasn't fully grown in yet. The greens made the round very challenging. They rolled well and had good speed..

The staff was very friendly and outgoing which added to the rounds enjoyment.

Played twice

Got a very good price on GolfNow so booked two times within three days. Had never played the course previously so a bit of a gamble

First round took over 5 hrs to play not a Marshall in sight. Excess time always spoils the experience and we debated not returning

Next round was 4hrs 20 mins, still not great but a big improvement. There are a couple holes with considerable green to next tee distances so I don’t think this is a quick course at the best of times

Greens were not bad, lots of strategically placed water and sand so a challenging and tougher then average layout. Fairways and tee boxes not great and the surrounding terrain was in really poor shape. Not a beauty course by any means but the actual track pretty good

Hole 10 has had the green moved forward quite some time ago it appears. Should change the yardage markers and scorecard to reflect that. With a lot of TLC this could be an impressive course but again decent layout if you aren’t fussy on aesthetics. We got a good deal and might return
