Stay Away

To say this course is in rough shape is an injustice to the word rough! I don’t know what their story is but tee to green this was the worst conditions I’ve ever seen. Half the course was cart path only and there hasn’t been rain here in days. The staff was friendly. In fact when we walked in he said the rate had been dropped to $49. I should have been suspicious. Second clue - no cars in the parking lot. This contributed to the great pace of play. We caught up to another two some on 17. The single behind us caught us on 18. We thought the layout had real potential but unless they put some money in, this place is closing soon.

Had a great time, but course was pretty rough. Grass was high and greens were ugly, but still I really enjoyed it.

Not a golf course

Terrible over priced. Appears to be waiting for condominium to buy the land.
Fairways are ivy, greens un-puttable.
Should have paid us to play

Terrible course

The is perhaps the worst course I’ve played except for one in California. Greens, fairways and tee boxes need major work. Not a good golf course. Someone needs to take control that knows how to operate a golf course. Done wate your money

They have let this course run down greens where ruined most of them anyway. Fairways not mowed good looked like first cut of ruff on most courses. The only good thing was the pace of play. No one was playing.

Friendly staff, nice layout. Lost 3 balls in fairway due to lack of mowing. One cart died during round. About half the greens were playable, the others were sand dirt and bumpy. Good course for a beginner.

Hot day

A group of 4, 2 adults 2 kids went at about 10am. It was boxing hot in the 90s. The course was a little rough as far as the greens being under repair but the scarcity of players allowed us to take our time and work with the kids which was great.
The two staff members in the clubhouse were awesome and made sure we had a good time.
We’d definitely go back but hopefully next time it won’t be so hot!

Friends don’t let friends play this course

Want to lose your ball in the fairway because the grass is so high? Play here. Want to put on the equivalent of a sand trap with weeds? Play here. Ever felt the urge to use a 3 inch tee and your ball still be covered with grass on the tee box. Play here. 30 years of bad golf I’ve never wanted to quit mid round. Finished the 11th hole today, and drove back to the car to head home. I’ll give them one thing, the staff is extremely friendly, but that’s the only thing I would give more than one star. If you hate someone who loves golf, please recommend this course.

Terrible condition

Many greens had no grass. Others infested with crab grass. Tees and fairways are soft crabgrass. Very high and had not been mown. Could not tell difference in rough or fairways. Sandtraps were unplayable and had not been raked. Course should be closed and greens resodded. Great layout but such terrible condition.

Great Spot!

Looked for a place we thought was reasonably priced and couldn’t have been more pleased! The gentleman in the pro shop was more than helpful. And the course was in good shape. I will definitely play here again!
