Poor Pace of Play

We were a twosome behind a fivesome. They appeared to be members. They never offered to let us play through even though they hit two or three shots before we could tee off on par 4s and par 5s. We finally skipped a par 3 to get around them. They appeared to be irritated when we passed them and hollered something as we drove by. Not sure what they said. We saw a marshal on the first hole and never saw another one so we could not ask them to deal with the situation.

Most of the bunkers we not well maintained. We played fairly early in the morning, and they did not appear to have been worked that morning.

Second time playing the course. Had a bad experience each time. Will not play again.

Worst greens

Have never played on greens this bad.

Fairways, greens and tees were overgrown.

Such a shame as the course layout is great.

Immaculate Fairways - Worst Greens EVER

We booked this course through GolfNow and the pictures were incredible. Staff in the clubhouse was extremely friendly, but they never told us the conditions of the greens. From the tee box on number one we were well pleased with how well the fairways were manicured. When we got to the first green, we absolutely couldn’t believe it. Since we weren’t told of this, we thought it was a one or two hole thing. Every green was entirely unplayable. There is no way this course should charge more than $30 to play since every green is un-puttable. Very nice fairways but putting is kind of part of the game.

TERRIBLE GREENS!!!!!

So let’s just start off with, don’t be fooled by the 30% discount, this course is not playable, greens are absolutely terrible, they tell you the greens are not the best but still playable but not until you talk to the starter! this course should be closed until they can’t get their greens playable. I would not recommend playing even if it was free. Greens are where you score, you can’t do it at this course. Save your money and look elsewhere, biggest waste of $90 I’ve ever seen

Nice

The greens were under repair and were almost unplayable. Other than that it was a nice course. Would be better if there was a decent “19th hole”.

Worst greens I’ve ever seen

Do not pay more than $60 to play or you’ll be disappointed. The greens were lumpy and half dead. Horrible shape! The tee boxes have overgrown weeds all over them. The fairways are okay and do get better on the back 9. Course layout is great, it’s a shame they have let it get this bad.

All greens and most tee boxes are trashed

Worst greens and Tee box conditions I’ve ever seen on a high dollar course. Weeds, wrong height adjustment on the mower, dead spots, brown spots from fertilizer spills. You name it.

BayeTowne golf course in Miramar

This course was in the worst condition of any course I’ve ever played. Greens were un-puttable. I will never return.

Baytowne

The staff was friendly the golf carts and GPS worked as expected the fairways were in great shape ,,but the Greens were horrible ,, they hap some unknown grasses growing in them , and we weren’t told of this ,, I finished the front 9 walked into the Pro Shop and told the person at the counter the greens were pretty bad ,, and his response was ,, why do you think it’s only 89 dollars ,, the money wasn’t the issue ,, I want to be able to putt ,, so I’m giving this course a poor review ..

Terrible greens

The layout is fine Lots of water and sand in play. Sand had standing water in some places and seemed like caked mud in others. Greens were unputtable. Long and bumpy. Very frustrating. Until they should have told us ahead of time. Not worth playing until the greens are fixed.
