Nice surprise

Don’t let the bad reviews fool. Yes a few holes have some damage but beyond #1 and #10 is a decent track. The greens were great. Ran very true. Bunkers could use more sand, a few boxes need some help. (Water). Speaking of water…lol…bring a few extra balls. The amt of water was impressive.. Have an open mind. If you’re looking for pristine go hangout w the snot noses of Waldorf. Overall, it was a great day of golf. Will be back.

Interesting Course

Interesting Course with some scenic holes. Only issue is with hole 1 and 9 that appear to have been damaged by high water.

Love me please

You can tell that this was once a great course. The lay out is great, it’s having a tough time right now. Play the course with an open mind, the greens are in great shape but just imagine your playing a Links course in the desert and you will be fine. Enjoyed my round.

Greens don’t look great, but they roll very true. Course is tired looking, but it’s an interesting layout, good views and a good test. Fairways are patchy, but if you accept that going in and move your ball onto grass it’s perfectly fine. Carts are in good working order. It’s perfectly acceptable course.

The course was in ok condition, very dry though.

My wife and I went around and it was very slow, no Marshall’s, but maybe they don’t have any. The greens were actually not too bad, quite fast. Fairways were pretty dry, not sure how much they water. Bunkers were not too bad.
Overall I don’t think I’ll go back, but if you’re looking for a inexpensive round, and you’re not worried about how long it takes this is the course.

Do not play

This is an awful course. It is so run down. We think it is going to go bankrupt. Sorry to see it in such disrepair!

Terrible Course

This was the worst course I’ve played in 10+ years. The course had little to no grass in the fairways and traps were hard as a rock. I would not recommend. Pay the extra $20 to $40 and play a nice course..

Course needs TLC

The course has great potential, however, it was in poor condition. Several greens (and a few tees) were damaged due to hydraulic fluid from the mowers. A lot of the fairways were just dirt. It’s a fun layout but needs a lot of work.

Bang for your buck

Course needs some tender loving care. Played her 2 years ago and the course was amazing. Weather and time have exposed some needs. Still a bargain.
