Due to the weather we did not play-I requested a voucher or refund but due to policy of the site I reserved the time they do nothing to reimburse you. I will never recommend this to anyone.

Interesting and nice

Nice condition good greens

Fun layout but lots of unmarked trouble. You have to know where you’re hitting before you do

Can’t wait to play it again

Holes Get Better

First four holes are quirky layouts. Don’t be too aggressive and get them behind you. After that the hole layout is great! Really enjoyed the course.

Horrible Ownership

Been playing here almost 20 years. Staff is as rude as you will get anywhere and owners do not care at all about the customer. I have never seen a golf course with such horrible employees. Also I never had a problem making a 5pm tee time but now they don't even allow it. And when you make a tee time at 4:30 and they tell you in a rude manner that you must have the carts in by 7:30pm even though right now it doesn't get dark until almost 9pm. I know, it's very expensive to pay that extra $8/hr. to the person who puts the carts away. This is such a great local course and the locals used to love it but not anymore. They provide nothing as far as tournaments, specials, and provide no food at all as the restaurant and car area close by 5pm. Such a waste.

Needs work

I understand that the current superintendent is finally leaving Hopefully all started projects get completed. We hardly ever see him working, He usually just drives around and is either on the phone or watching the Mexican work. The cart paths still are in bad shape. They did repair some of the bunkers and added sand to some. The cut a lot of of trees down but left all the stumps up. Hopefully things change soon

Pace of play

The pace of play is very slow especially when you start the back nine, this course is too much for super senior golfers, but for some reason they come to play and Hold up the whole course, the course is in great shape, nice fast greens, fairways beautiful, unfortunately the golfers this course draws don’t fix ball marks.

Nightmare

Showed up 20min before tee time (10:30am tee time) Showed multiple open reservations from 10:10-10:40. Allowed multiple golfers to book per tee time. I was playing alone that day. Got to club house to check in and guy behind the counter I hear talking to regulars who had 10:45/10:50 tee times and after say yea to ahead. 3 groups of 4. I speak up and say hold on I am by myself and tee time before them. Guy says you can play with them or wait! I know there is a bunch of old guy regulars but if you can’t follow standard guidelines and being courteous to tee times and a single that is lousy. I ended up leaving and playing another local course. Had issue with maintenance staff starting sprinklers literally as we were teeing off on 2 holes about 6 weeks ago(tried to not thin much about it as it has been a dry summer) and just driving right up on you when teeing off or putting to go do something. Again everyone has a job to do but not very thoughtful. Seems like a real lack of professionalism overall. Plenty of other courses to go to.
