Over 5 hours
Today was a good day for golf. Only lost one ball,the course was not as good as it's been,the fairways had chunk patches of grass everywhere and they needed to mow , the greens were just ok they rolled true made two birds.i will go back i and think they gave the mowers the day off.
Hairy greens, portly maintained
This course seems like it was once a great course, it’s in very poor condition now though.
Need a marshall
I do enjoy this course but they desperately need a marshall. I played as a single and had a group of 3 that was scheduled for the same tee time that wouldn't group up with me. So after 2 holes the foursome in front of me let me join them.
It was nice but a group of 5 on a Sunday afternoon makes for a long round. But the 3 folks that didn't wanna group up ended up waiting for us quite a bit and left after 8 holes, which I was amused by. Wouldn't have happened if a marshall was there to explain to them how tee times work.
Very poor maintenance
There’s a reason why it’s cheap. Good layout. Poor grounds maintenance
Fairways and Rough Bare spots
Many many bare spots in Fairway and Rough areas. Greens were good condition. Fairways were very poor. Rough areas are very poor. Obviously all the $$ goes to Sterling CC. Would not recommend this course.
Poor course condition
First time play here. Course fairway is the worst conditions I ever seen. There are barely any grass, if you like to hit off dirt, this is the course for you. Zero maintenance.
not worth it!
Unfortunately this course has been neglected and in a terrible shape. More often than not you will find yourself hitting off of mud or dirt.
Bunkers are full of water to the point that if you're ball goes in, it will be hard to get it out again.
The greens were decent but nothing I would brag about.
Beautiful course
Course layout is perfect, and the staff is professional.
Great layout, Great Greens, Bad Fairways
Played after a big storm so take it with a grain of salt. Love the layout, Greens were fantastic, fairways need some work but overall I liked it. Good challenges on some holes and it forces you to control your distances off the tee.
Conditions
The course was in the worst condition I've ever seen it. I would not play it again until they improve the conditions
Good to get out there
A nice stretch of weather drew me out to my favorite course. I’m partial to the links style and the way the two finishing holes are designed around the creek is just amazing. Greens were in surprisingly good shape considering the hard freezes the area went through. Fairways have a ways to go considering the clay soil and San Augustine grass being in hibernation. Preferred lies are the way to go around the clumps. The guys in the cart barn are cheerfully friendly. Number seven par 3 white tee into the wind was a bit too far for this 73 year old but that’s a me problem and I was enjoying teeing off with Justin my playing partner.
Great layout but not in great shape
The layout is challenging and one of those courses where you can't use your driver on every par 4 or par 5. Lots of elevation changes that lead to tough lies. But the fairways have lots of bald spots. Could be much better considering the price. Sterling the private side looks amazing.
Nice layout, poor shape
Torn with this review because this place could really be something. Staff was excellent. Clubhouse and amenities were excellent. Range was nice and course layout was fun and challenging. However the condition was poor. I get the time of year but have a feeling this is the norm. With some TLC this could really be a great place to play. Glad we got it on a hot deal because it certainly is not worth the full price in this condition. Maybe try it again this summer and see if anything is different.
