This course has an interesting layout

Overall the course was in nice shape. The fairways are defined but have a grass, weed mixture. The greens were very green and plush but very slow.. The pro shop was very friendly and helpful.. Great hotdogs at the turn. There is a mixture of six easy, six medium and six more difficult holes. I would play the course again but felt it was a little overpriced for the value.

Trust the reviews

This course makes cow pasture look like Pinehurst I learned my lesson and I will Trust the reviews from now on. Do not waste your money on this one, not even if it looks like a good deal. The greens looked like footbsll football practice just ended. If you have a put within 10 ft I recommend putting with your driver and you may still leave short.

I disagree, the manager has worked very hard with the staff at bringing the greens up to par. This takes a season to acheive, Its getting there!! Great, local golf course. Resturant opening real soon!

Tough layout with an island green

Have played this course for three decades. Average course with a great layout, has a driving range, nice clubhouse and it will test you. Has a little bit of everything, tight wooded fairways, water on 7 or 8 holes, not a lot of bunkers and has an island green.
Overall conditions of the course have been better, but would still recommend the course to anyone for the challenge of the layout!!

Spongy

The course was rough. Fairways were alright. The greens were fuzzy, your ball would bounce to the hole. The grass was green. Many areas under repair, dug up areas with dry mounds of dirt, tires tracks from the mowers, deep ones. Lots of balls lost and found.

Great challenge for golfers with experience

This is a very challenging course, there is doglegs so hard to tell the yardage unless you bring your GPS. I am an experienced golfer for 30+ years and enjoyed this course, and would recommend to others. The staff was delightful, and kind. Price was good for challenge of play. Plan on going again, and bringing friends! Had hotdogs and snacks, chips, crackers, ect.. in clubhouse. Also all kinds of beer and other beverages.. GREAT GOLF COURSE!!!!!!!

Substandard

Upon arriving, we were greeted with the news that only the back 9 was available for play. Greens were the slowest I have ever played on. What are shown on the scorecard as bunkers are sandy areas with rocks and weeds. Restaurant not open.

10 dollar hot deal was STILL TOO MUCH!!!

I have played this course many times over the last few years. ...NEVER HAVE I SEEN IT THIS BAD. They should be ashamed of themselves for charging any money for that course it was terrible. The worker inside the clubhouse informed me that they had aerated but it didn't compare to how bad it really was. only the front nine was open, and the greens were burned out and patchy, not mowed,where there was grass, and just atrocious. I know course maintenance is a must, but they should've closed all together. I only paid 10$ for 18 riding, but ended up having to play the same 9 holes twice, and I didn't even stay fir all 18.

going down

I wasn't playing there due to their one price pricing that they had. A friend told me that they had a special going so we went to play there. The course is totally falling apart with the greens looking half dead and some of the fairways still haven't been kept up. Looks like they're about to close the doors on the place. I heard that they fired all the management at the course but don't know if that's true or not. It's to late to try and generate business with better playing rates now that the course is in horrible conditions.

Shame on the owner

This was a very nice course a year ago, however, it is now a course that is not worth the $10 per person that I paid. The greens are ruined because of a lack of water and care. Not a single person knowledgeable about how to care for a course. Restaurant is closed again. I would not golf there again even if it was free.

Glad I only spent $10

The course has not been watered in what looks like weeks. I lost three balls off the tee because they took a 20' hop left or right after landing in the fairway. 11 of the greens were scorched, with a couple down to cracked dirt. If I owned the course I'd feel guilty charging any golfer, given the current conditions. Play at your own risk...

Surprisingly challenging and varied. Doesn't look like much from the road, but nice topography and different types of holes. Great greens on the back side and from the blues a challenge to the mid-handicapper.

Dragon Ranch

Don't need driver on every hole, lots of dog legs, more about placement than distance. Would be nice if tees had yardage"s to lay up at dog lege"s with min. And max yardage and left or right side of fairway to be on. They need a flag system from, middle, or back.
Nice coarse will play. Again

Not worth the $11 we paid

Our day started off with the girl at the counter just sliding me the keys to the carts. She clearly didn't want to be there. The course has a nice layout, but needs water, as the fairways were way too hard to hit off of, and the greens had too many brown, burned up spots. The clubhouse, which looks very nice inside, appears to be more geared towards being a restaurant. The girl working in there seemed overwhelmed. There needs to be an area that can be a quick stop to get a hot dog, a drink, or snack and be able to get right back on the course. Took too long and had to ask what was available. With some irrigation this course can be good again. Three of us played, and not one of us would recommend this course, in this condition.

Horrible Experience

They were out of golf carts. The girl working the front desk let carts sit there for an hour after they were returned. The
"GM" was extremely rude, stand off ish, and unhelpful. The course was burnt and hard as a rock. I paid $13 to ride 18.
