Total Mess, used to be a gem. What happened?

I played this course for years and it was awesome. Always well kept and for a par 3 the greens rolled perfect. Great pre-round short game warm up spot. I moved a town away and hadn't been back in maybe a year and happened to just drop in there on a short work day. i was so excited to go back and hit it and I don't know if it went under new ownership or what but the place was a wreck. The greens were not at near the levels prior and the short fairways and areas around the greens were yellow or just dirt patches all over. I was actually kind of in shock and asked the clubhouse what happened because the fall of was so dramatic. I won't be going back anytime soon and def not worth $30 to play one hour of par 3 golf on a track that is that much of a mess now. It's a bummer.

Great course, needs upkeep

This is a fantastic course. Just needs a little bit more upkeep. While I don’t expect a pristine course for the price, I still hope to see a little more pride on the fairway. The green was in great condition.

Dissapointing

Played here in June and really enjoyed the experience. This most recent trip the course had temp tee boxes at every hole and these tee boxes had dead or no grass at all which was terrible to play off. The grass off the fairway is so thick that most of the groups including ourselves had difficulty not only finding the ball but trying to get through this thick grass. This slows up the pace of play for everyone.

Many of the longer fairways obviously had been damaged by some of the rains and the fairways were quite brown and just dirt in many places. Hope they can get the course back to how it was early in the year.

Horrible condition

This course is usually in bad condition, but this last round was the worst. Five out of nine temporary key boxes, fairways nothing but dirt for three holes, pace of play was slow, and course overall was unkempt. The starter should notify players of this when making their teetimes.

Caution

Usually a great course. 9/3 played with tees being redone which is great when grass grows in. Temporary tees shorted a few holes. Holes 6 and 8 fairways dead brown grass due to storm floods. Like this course a lot but will wait a few weeks to return.

First time playing here

Nice course. Was recommended by some fellas we played through with at Alondra Golf Course and they recommended West Drift to us. I love the first tee and the 8th since you have to hit over the lake. Fun time for my friends and I hitting into it and making fun of each other. The course is well kept, greens are nice, and I hope to play here a few times a month!. But I saved the best for last and I feel bad for not getting her name but the lady working the check- in area is nice, helpful, and welcoming. Definitely most important part and started off things right. She is kind and that’s ALOT to say compared to some of the attitudes you deal with checking in at some places. Everyone is human I get it, still is a breath of fresh air when you get good customer service. Looking forward to my next visit!.

Fun course

Super fun little 18 hole par 3. There’s a few longer holes than I expected and a couple narrow fairways that make for great practice. Pace of play was fine and staff extremely friendly. You cannot beat the price for what you get. Absolutely recommend

Slow

Slow pace of play because of kids golf camp activities on the course. They should have warned about that.

Nice par 3

It was windy which made the 140-150 yard par 3s play longer than usual. The 8th is about 175-185 over water which is the most difficult on the course.

The fairways are in awesome shape. Well manicured.
