I disagree!!!

I have to disagree with the previous couple of posts. When I played the course last week I had a totally different experience. When I called the course for a tee time, I was told about the temporary tee boxes. When I arrived at the course I walked into the pro shop and noticed right away that everything inside had changed from the previous owners. The pro shop had changed and the new bar was beautiful. I had played the course before and enjoyed the layout but the conditions had really gotten bad under the previous owners. The guy behind the counter in the pro shop pointed out to me a letter explaining the situation of the tee boxes and condition of the course. He then went on further to tell me that the greens and fairways were good (which they were) but the tee boxes and the fringes still needed a lot of work. Although the course is in rough shape right now, you can see the work that is being done. The pace of play was great, played as a twosome and finished in 3 hours. I am going to wait a couple of months to play it again. Maybe the tees and the fringes will be done by then. Keep up the good work and look forward to golfing there again real soon.

Rude staff encountered on the course.

At the turn my friend and I wanted to use the restroom in the clubhouse, however, it was closed. Luckily, my friend lives on the course. We came back to finish our round, then we were approached and accused of jumping ahead based on the direction we came. We explained why we came from that direction. There were no other golfers at that time we approached hole 10.. During this dicussion, two other golfers came up to Hole 10; he stated so your're going to inconvience them! We spoke to those two golfers after our round and there were NO issues with them. No excuse for rudeness!

Needs some TLC

Love the layout . Speed of play is always good . No real amenities to speak of just some overcharged vending machine items. The ball washers are always empty and the trash is overflowing onto the course on several occasions. The golf carts are dated , poor breaks, and no gps or range finders. Tons of wildlife and be careful of gators or you will end up like Chubbs! The staff seem like clock watchers and can’t wait to leave not really happy go lucky or great you with a warm welcome or smile . Overall not bad for the price , I would recommend.

Nice layout, needs attention

Played with my wife on 2/20 and was incredibly disappointed with the areas around the green. All bare/thin lies with occasional weeds. Slow pace of play. We were paid up with two other ladies and we were on the heels of the group in front of us the whole time. No ranger to move things along.

Great course!

I played today (11/23) and it's in great shape. The greens were smooth, fast and soft on the approach. Some of the rough that's way off the fairway( spots I found often today) were brutal because they are supposed to be penal, but the fairways were very nice.. my advice-- hit it straighter than I did. Staff was very courteous and pace of play was even better than expected. 100% recommend!

Course needs work

Grass was over grown and just seems like it needs some love. Whoever is caring for it isn’t doing a good job at all

Went off at 8 to beat the heat

My only criticism is the tee boxes need some attention the rest of the course was ok.

Solid course

Played Sunday with 6 of my mouth breating, porch dwelling buddies. Went off as a threesome and a foursome. Pace of play was quick. No hold ups. Which is rare on a Sunday. I may be biased on this review since I chipped in from a bunker for birdie on the par 3 second hole. Made my day. The greens were all consistant and smooth other that one on the backside that had a bad patch about 2' wide and 8' long. Guess where I landed! The fairways were in great shape. Tee boxes, also good. The Lady in the pro shop was terrific. The restaurant is closed due to staffing issues. She had plenty of drinks and ice on hand with small coolers. The starter was friendly and had info on the course conditions. My group will definately play this course again.

Would not recommend for the cost.

Terrible condition, tee boxes, fairways and greens. Few greens in fair condition but most poor. No water in ball washers, no soap or towels in bathrooms, poor limited food options. Not worth $50 we played.

neglected course

This course has deteriorated, they are not looking after it. Front 9 tee boxes were mostly sand or a cow pasture. Fairways poor. Cart paths are terrible. no or little water in ball washers, no towels. Washrroms were dirty. Finished around 5:00 PM and clubhouse was locked, no access to washrooms. Can get more value for the same money at other courses in the area.

They are letting Course go

Very poor condition. Fairways weedy and dirt. Not the course I was use to play on. Tees unkept markings are missing and there seems to be little care in the maintenance of the course. Would not recommend to anyone.
