February Golf

The greens were very good/fast for this early in the year. The fairways are still in winter/fall storms condition.
The pace of play was excellent. The staff were very polite and friendly.

Excellent layout, but needs some work

We have never played here before and had no expectations. We had a good day at a well designed course, however the course needs some serious attention all around. We will try it again next year, hoping that this was just a bad year in the way of tees, fairways, greens, and rough.

Course should be sold

It is a nice layout but is right on the edge of losing it forever and should be sold to someone who would give it the maintenance it needs. There is no grass on the greens or fairways and I mean none. There is more sand on the greens then grass and I mean thick. Only surprise was the bunkers which actually had sand and were easy to play.

Fun Practice course that needs TLC

I read all the poor reviews but couldn’t find any Tee times that fit when I could play so I booked. I went with low expectations and just wanted to get some swings in. The tee boxes were either clover or sand. The fairways were some grass but mostly crabgrass. Most of the greens were sanded. Some were worse than others. The cart paths had us cracking up. They were really bad. All that and I still had a good time because I was with my son playing golf. Know what you’re getting into and you’ll be fine. Cheap place to work on some areas of your game that may need work. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. If I want great lies and plush conditions, then Im gonna pay for it and play elsewhere. If I want a cheap quick round for practice, I’d come back.

PROBABLY THE WORST CONDITIONED COURSE I HAVE EVER PLAYED

Despite being a nice layout and very friendily staff this course is in the worst condition of any course I have ever played. There is not one puttable green, there is not one tee that has grass on it and virtually no fairway has any but stubs of grass. I would however say the sand bunkers were quite nice with a decent amount of sand. Don't be swayed by the price just go somewhere else.

Course has gone to seed

Do not think anyone is doing maintenance
on the course. Have never seen anything so bad.
Pace of play is great because no one is there.

Off-season

It is the off season for course conditions but the greens were all covered in hydro-seed so they basically were just bunkers with a hole in it. Their tee boxes were not good at all, their fairways were brutal and the rough was non existent (just mud basically). Bunkers full of water, they tried to tell us it was because they got rain on the Saturday but we were playing on the Tuesday so the rain shouldn’t have been an issue. Staff were great though, nice people.

Course conditions were atrocious even for winter play. No grass whatsoever on fairways and greens. Lots of weeds though. Cart paths need major renovation. Played other course in the area and none were as bad as this one.

Poor condition but….

This course is in pretty rough shape but for me it serves a purpose. The cost is minimal and it’s not crowded so it’s a good course to teach my wife to play. We can take our time and hit a couple balls when we need to. I would not recommend this course to serious golfers. Remember to go slow on the cart paths if you can find them. I hit my head on the roof of the cart going over a tree root buried under pine needles on the cart path.

Never Play AgainWor

Worst course conditions that I have ever played and have played 50+ years. If I had to play this course I would quit playing golf and take up tennis. Needs to be removed from your list.

Practice Course. Layout is good. Half of the greens are in poor shape. Course was wet and ball plugged all day. Hard to evaluate. Need to play in drier conditions
