Greens in disrepair

Have the greens had serious damage. Too hard. Won’t hold a high wedge. If I didn’t have a discount from golf now, I would’ve asked for a refund!

Expensive for poor quality course.

Course is in bad condition, greens and the cart paths are the worst of all the courses in the area. Had to wait 30 mins at the turn because they overloaded the course. This course is barely worth 20 for 18…definitely not worth $60+.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Do not go here.

The tee boxes were bare. There were crabgrass tufts on the greens. Cart paths were cratered and very difficult to use. Fairways were ok and bunkers were good. It just needs a lot of TLC to get it back to playable conditions like it was about 5 years ago.

Played Jones - see explanation in review

Planned to play Maple but when checking in learned one hole was damaged from 2023 storm and unplayable. Also, was advised that while the layout was good, other holes have issues. Expressed concern with paying a full fee.

Staff remedied the issue by rebooking us to the Jones course. Also learned that the Byrd course was due to reopen after extensive upgrades.

We played the Jones course, mediocre at best. Several greens had dead areas.

These three courses will have full renovations in the next year or two. Clubhouse upgrades were incredible. Food amenities greatly improved from two years ago.

These courses will be something we plan to checkout the next time we are in the area.

Way overpriced

Greens were in terrible condition. Cart path was basically unusable. Lots of potential with the layout but everything from tee box to green was poor condition. I’d feel a little better if I didn’t pay $72 after tax but not the case.

Staff were very friendly.

Nice course in Terrible shape

My wife and I Like this course and usually play it when we are here on vacation.

we decided to try it this year despite te poor recent reviews and unfortunately found themto be true. The good news was that the fairways are in decent shape, but the tee boxes and in bad shape with lots if crabgrass. The greens are worse as almost all of them showed significant patches of disease. I kow they are refurbishing the Byrd course and it may be good when they reopen, but this course needs lots of help.

Old unkept course, bad greens.

Weeds!

Most greens lost , course in bad shape!

Cart paths worn out, not keeping up all the pot holes.

Should close this one & rebuild everything.

the love?

Don’t waste your time or money

I know that they are redoing these courses however they should tell you that the back basically has No greens. Even the front greens were burnt and scarred. Some fairways were so soggy. You could not drive on them. I don’t recommend this place. Nor do I think I will be back. as a matter of fact, if I could get my money back from GolfNow I would.

Disappointed

Understanding the facility as under renovation, the bag guys were not overly helpful. They appeared confused as to organization and direction of set up before play. No practice range or practice green. Understanding it rained a lot the night before play, the course was a little wet. But the greens were terrible. A player in our group lived on property. He said they're getting ready to close the course to redo greens and traps, it should have already been closed. Charging a "green fee" for no greens is absurd. Putting on dead grass is embarrassing. Deters me from wanting to ever try it again.
