Conditions are improving

This course was really neglected for a long time, but new ownership has really turned it around. Conditions are really improved. Still on the average side, but a lot better than the beginning of 2023, for sure. However, it’s still not worth the $120 prime time rate. There’s a lot to do before it can command that price, but overall….. it’s a fun and much more enjoyable course now. Great Job. Looking forward to seeing more from Pala.

$120

When in the world did this course start charging $120 to play on the weekends? Is there some reason for the crazy price increase?

Aereated greens not at full price!

I understand the need to aereate the greens but there should be discount off the green fees.

There was so much sand on the greens it made putting unrealistic.

Not really worth the cost.

We played midweek at 10 AM. The course was pretty wide open. Only saw two other golfers. The greens were in great shape, but the bunkers were all washed out from the rain in August. Fairways were thin in places. When we made the turn, nobody in the snack bar, no refreshment cart, no water anywhere on the course. Also, no water in any of the ball washers. Overall so so experience, but elite cost. Will not repeat.

Good Greens Mediocre Course

Conditions were poor, but the greens were in great condition which makes up for a lot. Bit of a funky layout to protect the course being short. Staff was super friendly and for $50 it did the trick but would not pay anymore then that.
