Happy but sad

I have not played of late because of back surgery, so I was excited to fell well enough to play. So when I arrived to the course I was taken back by surprise that it has changed from 18 holes to 9. I knew this was in the works many years ago but I just didn't know they started the work, or I would have played somewhere else. Anyway, I took my eight year old daughter with me and played to my surprise a well maintained 9 hole course you go around twice. It had two different sets of tees well marked and the course was in fantastic shape. So overall I had a good time and I was fortunate enough to have the course almost to myself. I just could not imagine if it was crowded and slow play would be. Enough said, it was worth the $13 I spent on the course.

Hawk valley

Play the same holes twice, which just means more congestion and waiting for people. About half of the greens had rough patches. Nice layout for the course design, but would probably only play 9 holes given an opportunity to play again.

Nice Course

Course was in decent shape considering how much rain they had the night before. Tee was a little bare and weedy. Green were great, true putt with little bounce of ball.

Perfect weather
Used cart

There's a reason its cheap

They don't tell you you basically play the first 9 again (#10 is the only new tee box, but you're re-playing #1). There's no refunds because I'm sure a good majority would want a refund once they realized there was no back 9. Greens, fringes and bunkers were lacking. and not maintained well. Will never play there again.

Course in poor condition, not worth the $

This used to be a nice course, have played here many times. It’s really deteriorating, big bald patches on the greens, the putting surface hadn’t been mowed in a while, was like putting on fake AstroTurf. The fairways were ok, but the rough hadn’t been mowed in a while either, you had to pretty much stand over your ball to see it. That makes play pace slow when no one can find the ball. Pace was further slowed by the group of 5 walkers . Right after I paid the attendant closed up, hopped in a cart and started driving around to open holes and playing. Ok, but a a single golfer, that’s what I had to do, so now compete for open holes with the staff. paid $23 to play 9 holes, won’t be back anytime soon

Disappointed

I'm upset that while booking this was touted as 18 holes when really it's the same 9 holes twice, gets stale the second time around.

Disappointing

At the price, i wasn't expecting much, but I was still disappointed. Obviously was a farm not too long ago. The greens putted like a corn field. Not just slow, but very bumpy. And a lot of them were missing a lot of grass all together. The first hole starts with a par 5 that's just so poorly designed. A couple of the holes played like actual golf holes, and there was a decent view from 17, but for this part of the country, really a disappointment. The starter was very nice, and helped us out with a tip on the first hole.

Terrible

First time playing. Super slow because of 9 holes and playing 18... not a big deal. Course conditions: terrible. This course is not kept well and is by far the crappiest course i’ve ever played. Tee boxes are horrible. Greens are horrible. Fairways are horrible. Do not spend the money. Staff was great, just an ugly course
