Temporary greens made for a rough day

The good news is that the greens should be open in a couple of weeks. The bad news is until that’s done, it’s not a great experience.

TEMPORARY GREENS

The greens were closed in April and are still closed. The course is in terrible shape. The fact that they are still charging as much as they are is disappointing.

Temporary Greens! No fun

All the greens are temporary. I skip putting because putting on these temporary green would mess up my putting skills. Will wait until Oct. 1st when the regular greens are open with a 100% increase on green fees! Bad!

Not impressed

This is the first course I’ve played that I told myself I wouldn’t come back to. The majority of the fairways were so wet it was ridiculous. My waterproof golf shoes were soaked. Terrible landscaping. Water sprinklers randomly going off 6 inches from where we tee off on one hole.

Also I get the greens are being worked on, but even everything around them was not great, ankle deep grass in the majority of the fairways. I’ve played courses almost half the cost in better conditions. I hope whoever goes has a better dryer experience.

Work in progress.

Course is in poor shape right now. All of the greens are being redone. If this condition was communicated before playing and cost adjustments made this would be understandable but this was not done. Just tell me before hand and allow me the option to continue or not.

No Greens at this time

Was not informed, but the greens are being redone, all holes are on temporary greens. Thus would not recommend for the next 2 or 3 months. Very disappointed that I did not know! Wasted my fees

Temp greens ok

Reduced rates due to temp greens and limited tee boxes. However, temp greens are in good shape and better than others zi have played. Great price using GN

Greens were being replaced. Makeshift greens were satisfactory for what they were. Always a pleasant golfing experience.

Currently Unplayable and Won't be Played by Me Again

Every green is being redone at the same time. This alone would be reason enough to not play this course, so why was the rough not cut also? Was it laziness, or did they feel that they needed to compensate for all of the shortened holes? It was challenging enough without having accurate yardage anywhere, that there was no reason for the rest of the course not to be maintained. I booked this online and nowhere did it say that every green would be under construction. If it had, I wouldn't have attempted to play it, but I would have come back because I like the course and it is conveniently located for us. As it stands, I don't know that I will play here again. When we arrived we asked the guy in the proshop where everyone was because it was considerably less busy than usual. We asked if the heat was responsible and he said that "the chance of rain must have been keeping people away". It was not the heat nor the"chance of rain". It was due to the fact that every green looks like a baseball infield and the makeshift greens mowed into the fairway rendered all the yardage markers unusable, putts impossible and couldn't be seen from the fairway without driving most of the way to the "green" in some cases. After 6 holes and numerous lost balls due to the rough being ridiculously high, we gave up. When I got back to the proshop and mentioned that he didn't tell us anything about the condition of the course and nowhere did it say anything about the course when I booked it that I would like a refund. He said that the best that he could do was a raincheck that would only be good until October. I asked when the construction was going to be completed and was met with silence. I hate to take this course out of my repertoire, but I feel that I don't have a choice after having been treated like this.

Temporary Greens

The greens are being rebuilt, so it’s no fun. However, the fairways are in the best condition in years. Tee boxes are still in terrible condition, especially par-3 tee boxes.Hope

they will do something about them.

Making the greens perfect

I didn't know that they were redo in the greens. So they had temporary greens but it was okay it was a great fun course. I played out here many times with many friends and the courses always in immaculate condition. However this day was temporary greens. Honestly I was just messing around out there just trying to hit some good shots and a lot of people were pushing me to move ahead of them when I really didn't want to so I skipped a lot of holes but it was fun.

There are no greens to play on due to construction. Wish we would have known this before driving over an hour to play here.

I only gave it a mediocre review because all the greens were under construction but the price was reflective of this
