I would say that this course would be much better when there has been rainfall because it was so dry. The pace of play was very poor on the back nine, on one hole we had four groups. There was no Marshall that could’ve expedited play.

Course deteriorated

Most tee boxes have bare spots and voids to stand in. Greens are inconsistent. Sand in bunkers very compressed and grass growing in some bunkers. The golf course is not in good condition.

Disappointed

Arrived for 8am tee time;7:45 hit balls

and teed off on time.Weather was fantastic Course conditions fairly good the greens were awful 😞 were not mowed and rolled at about a six on a stimp measure.I booked online previous day. All went smoothly except for the greens This was Saturday morning primetime

Not sure why greens wouldn’t have been mowed

The course had a nice layout and was in good shape with the exception of the greens, which were discussed in the description on line.

Poor Condition

The course has a great layout and has been very well maintained in the past. I was really disappointed in the course conditions, particularly the greens. For what they charge I would expect greens that aren’t 20% weeds, and one green was 4 paces from the flag to the rough in 3 directions. I’ve never seen a green that narrow.

Green review

This course needs to be shutdown and greens replaced . I was warned when I arrived. These greens are pathetic. The ball moved 4 directions on a 10 foot putt. Take your green fees somewhere else. So sad because course is a great layout. Have to pay me to play there again.
