Interesting golf course with numerous challenges

Very friendly staff at the pro shop. The course is in better shape than last year and we thoroughly enjoyed playing there this year. Many times we both had to use our drivers and that was great. Well positioned water areas that made us rethink our game. Yes, it was challenging but we certainly enjoyed again this week. Hope to play it again in the near future.

$39 round

pro shop has no signage, they did not tell us of the course course conditions, the greens are in bad shape as well as some fairways. the 10th hole is useless. Even at the cheap price i will not play again. They have a lot of common sense that needs to done.

Strange conditions

The course is apparently partially under construction. Two par 5's numbers 1 and 10 have tees moved up to 240 yards since the tee box is now missing. The fairways have overseed that needs mowing. There are 60 to 70 geese messing up the fairways. Not so good for shoes. Most water hazards have no water and are over grown with weeds. Looks like the course had been abandoned for some time and then re opened. At most only 10 people were on the course today.

I think we played just after they sanded and overseeded basically very rough conditions but price was discounted because of it. Wish we had known before booking

Good for the price

Got a great deal on green fees. Course wasn’t in the best condition - greens a bit furry & slow. Other courses in the area in much better shape but would pay at least 3 times as much. Pretty much what I was expecting. No beverage cart or restaurant. Staff real friendly. We enjoyed the round.

Course needs some TLC.

Our first time playing this course. It was difficult to find our way around the course because of poor signage. Some of the fairways are in poor condition, the greens had just been sanded and way too much goose poop. Don't know if we'd come again.

Go to jail

Horrible course for the money, everything needs improvements and it’s sad as the location is convenient for those visiting PS. Will not return, it just plain sucks as conditions are horrible and depressing, seems there are no groundskeepers and the residents have to pitch. There is a reason the Golf Pass rate is cheap, it reflects the conditions.

Under construction

Recently seeded and the greens recently sanded. Had to putt around and through piles of sand. It should be fine in a couple weeks Then it’s a fun course

I feel that we were mislead by the description and it proved even worse

The Positive; the fairways are beautiful, green and mowed nicely.

The Negative:

The greens were patchy, rough, and in terrible shape.

The experience on the back nine was THE WORST!!!!! The person that checked us in could’ve easily explained the situations and provided a map.

No signage, getting lost, #10 a mess, cart paths worse than roads in a 3rd World country!!

No restaurant, 3 day old sandwiches in the pro shop.

And we paid $79.00 each!! RIPPED OFF!!
