Played this course on 5/26/2023
Course was in better shape than when I played it previously (April 2023). Greens were great and fairways were mowed and in good shape as well. It’s a half hour drive from my house but I will continue to play here once a month because I like the challenge of playing this course.
Nice Layout
3 star rating vs 4 or 5 due to tee boxes in poor condition. At least put a nice mat out if you’re down to bare dirt or hardly, hardly any grass. Couldn’t put my tee in also cause it was like concrete. 7th hole short par 4 was a joke!! My tee shot I used 3 iron. Didn’t hit it well but it was straight. At like 288 my ball was 15 yards from the green! My chip shot I duffed but it dwindled on the green and then rolled, and rolled off the green down the embankment 35 yards down. Crazy hole!! Fix the tee boxes. Par 3 8th the back tees are in playable!! Later…..
Fun Layout
Front and Back 9's are completely different. Front old school/Back longer more traditional. Greens were good but very grainy. Fairways pretty good for this time of year. Need more sand in the traps.
New carts with GPS are awesome.
Place is going in the right direction.
Surprise course
I was thinking just other course but it was very interesting course.
Difficult is there, green good,, and last tee box need to improvement very much.
Bring your canoe
Unfortunately, we played after a substantial rain weekend before and this course was like playing in a swamp.
Not bad for the money
New carts were nice and you could see where they are trying to patch up bare spots and they recently installed what appears to be a new irrigation system. Overall. course wasn't bad, tee boxes need attention as most were not level and beat up a bit. Green side bunkers are in need of more sand, also many smaller rocks in these bunkers so be cautious. Greens were fairly fast and they placed the pins on various contours so putting was a little challenging.
GPS carts sound great, but…
The course was not bad, looks like they have been working to make it a nice place. Cost was reasonable for a Friday. If the story included the course and the people, I’m pretty sure I’d return. But, they decided to take a shot with new GPS “assisted” carts. I thought it sounded pretty cool when I heard, but that enthusiasm was short lived. GPS carts are great if you can pull up to your ball and know what you have to the pin, but only if you can pull up to your ball. We quickly discovered these robo-carts are a bit more intrusive. I hit an ok drive about 20 yards off the cart path. 90 degree rule was in effect, so we drove to the ball and went right. Maybe 15 yards in, the cart started belting out the reverse tone and the GPS screen flash something like, you are in an unauthorized area, reverse to an authorized area, then just stopped. No warning, no visual indicators and we we’re stopped. Without an option, we reversed to the cart path walked to the ball and hit the next shot. After we went through the same cart ballet several times on the first three holes, I noticed that the GPS is also kind enough to share our pace of play. We were 3 in and already 17 min behind what they dictated as the correct pace in spite of the fact we were waiting on the group ahead. I play golf to get away and enjoy an afternoon outside with friends, not to have a poorly designed app dictate what I can do and the time in which I can do it, I call that the office. At the end of this miserable round, skynet informed me I was 177 minutes behind it’s desired pace of play. Our round was a tick over 4 hours, so the insanity is evident. If I hear the carts are just giving me yardage, I’d consider returning. Otherwise, I won’t return to this or any course that employs this terrible technology. It’s an embarrassing attempt to save a few bucks on course maintenance and browbeat the paying customers to go faster even if they were On track for 2.5 hours.
Steer Clear if you're a single
Got to the course and went off the front nine without a hitch. Was playing as a single riding so played the front nine in about 90 minutes. Then I make the turn and they're letting threesomes go off on number 10. Just no flow to the round and I called the clubhouse to ask about this and they were not helpful. Ended up leaving after 9 holes, as I wasn't going to deal with waiting on every shot on the back 9. Such a shame as I wanted to like this course.
Worth the drive
Pleasantly surprised and will keep in rotation. It’s fall, so the greens are already painted. Overall , the course is in very good shape. The Bermuda rough is still pretty thick. Golf shop and restaurant staff were friendly and helpful
Great Course
Great course. Randy the head pro is always great. He always asks if I need anything, and always give my group a number to shoot if we are playing best ball. Greens are challenging and it is always fun. Ask about the leprechaun special.
Highly recommend!!
Was very impressed with the condition of the course. Greens were pretty fast, most of the tee boxes were great aside from a few, the carts are newer so that was nice too. The range could use a little work and the club house isn’t the fanciest but it’s a great place to play and I will for sure be back!
HL
The overall course was excellent….friendly staff, great grass fairways and greens and pace of play!! A challenging course with plenty of water and sand and narrow fairways and elevation changes ….probably the best course in the area!! As a bonus the golf carts are by far the best in the area 👍🏻
Good Value - Plays Fair
Overall the course value was good. Some holes were tight and others we open and fair. Course conditions were not great but better than good… greens are in great shape. Some of the T boxes need a lot of work… grass is needed on a few and some were not very flat, creating some awkward T shots.
Fairways were very good but the bunkers we very hard and some were very rocky with small rocks and lots of pebbles.
Staff was great and very helpful. I would play here again and can tell they are making improvements.
Fun times at the river!
Tricky little course. Challenging. Last two holes will kick your but if you’re not ready for them. Great overall value.
