Worst Course Ever

Worst course I ever played. Maybe it was nice 50 years ago. Fairways were littered with goose crap. Greens were bumpy. You have to negotiate a maze between neighborhoods from one hole to the next. Lots of dead, no grass areas in the fairway. Ball washers broken or without water. Just an awful experience. Don’t waste your money!

This course has several par 5 ‘s that are made narrow by water hazards and challenging by well-placed bunkers that effectively capture shots that roll too near, and the ball does roll as if on a links course! The presence of all kinds of water fowl causes one to frequently check the bottom of shoes.

Never again

Worst course I have ever played. Both the fairways and greens in very poor shape.

Do not waste your money on this course.

The course has some great features and a challenge for any skill level.

The fairways and tee boxes need a lot of work. The poorest course conditions of any course played in the area in the past month. Greens are considered only in fair condition when played yesterday!

The timeboxes and fairways were in poor condition, they need some maintenance.. The greens were in very good shape. The washrooms were closed and boarded up. At one time this course must have been great but is now rundown and needs maintenance, would not play again and would not recommend.

Course conditions

Course was not in good shape. Fairways not filled in yet. Greens quite bump. Many bare areas near greens and fairways. Needs more route signage.

Good budget friendly course

First time playing here. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Course is what I expected with overall dry conditions. Greens were a little shaggy and rough but a fun course to play with a fellow Canuck and a local member.

Driving range is below average and very few food options on the turn but got by with what they had. Great rental club quality.

Greens

The greens were bad. Slow and bumpy. Numerous holes need work especially #10 which is a joke
