Front vs back
First 9 holes were very good; back nine was like playing in a pasture
Rough. Fire the maintenance crew
Not a level tee box on the course,
Pin cup very shaggy
Needs alot more watering: way to many bare spots
Carts would not alow you to go to your ball. After 9 I went and asked if it was cart path only? He stated they were having issues with the system. I spent half my time in reverse in the middle of the fairways. You could not drive to the 150 marker on most holes
Yes
Do ig just make sure you are there before 2 so you can play the front 9 I believe they do school practice daily.
Greens Aeriated
Course itself was in decent shape. Didn't know till check in the greens had been punched about 2 weeks prior. Large holes with little sand in some cases made the greens very bumpy.
Only negatives were no rakes for the bunkers and poa annua on the back 9 greens made putting difficult
I wish
We drove a hour and a half to play golf here. First problem was cart path only which may have been questionable? The second problem was the back nine was closed for maintenance so we had to play the front twice. My problem is this has happened before at other courses. Why can't courses notify you when you book a round that half the course is closed or offer a discount.
Great course. In good shape. Only problem is the new carts keep shutting off. Want let you get within 50 yards of the greens. Might as well walk with a pull cart. Technology has taken the fun out of playing here.
Fast greens, thin fairways
Overall the course is decent to play. In my opinion they are trying to make the course something it’s not. The greens were so fast Friday when I played that due to wind conditions the ball wouldn’t hold and was blown 5-10 feet from where it would normally stop. Wind on the backside is common making some pin locations almost impossible to putt to. Fairways are thin meaning no grass in a lot of places. Front side was cart path only the last two rounds and if you enjoy having your cart constantly stop and beep on every single hole multiple times a hole WHILE ON THE CART PATH, this is the place for you! The gps on the carts is a joke and they need to loosen the reigns on them so people can actually drive down the path without the cart shutting down.
First Time Playing Course
Front 9 was wet and course conditions not very good. Back 9 was very open and was in much better condition.
