Literally the worst golf course I’ve ever seen

I don’t have the highest golf standards. I play a good bit. I’m not even joking this was the worst course I’ve ever seen. I didn’t know it was possible for a course to be this bad. There’s no fairways it’s just like dirt. Most courses rough is cut lower than the “greens”. Tee boxes were a joke. Staff was nice I just couldn’t believe how bad it was and that it actually cost money to play there.

The course was very good for the value

The course is still being worked on but is a good course nonetheless. It had some very interesting holes and some challenging obstacles, lots of trees if you can’t stay on the fairway like me. But very friendly staff and an very fun time!

Not worth it even for the price

Grass in the fairways are a mix of grass and weeds. Greens are not in good condition, and maintenance around the holes are full of branches and leaves. Lost a couple balls in the middle of the fairway. Would not recommend. Staff was friendly but that is the only real positive.

Greens unplayable

Greens were so bad, full of weeds and dead spots. Couldn't play them, the rest of the course was okay. 5/6 really bad hole layouts, and one hole fully closed at the moment. Hard to enjoy when the greens can't be played.

Getting better!

Been a few years since I first played the course. To be fair, I’m not the best golfer but still wasn’t interested in coming back after the first time I came out here due to course conditions and I'm by no means picky. I decided to give the course another go recently. Over the last couple months I’ve played about 5 times here. Have really seen improvements each time I’ve set up a tee time with the last 5 outings. I think the price is a steal considering they’ve had issues over the last few years with the course. It’s really starting to come along.

Disappointed

First time playing this course and I will never return. The greens were punched a week ago, so I was not expecting them to be in great shape, however I expected them to have grass on them. It was embarrassing. I took my two boys golfing and apologized to them on every shot. There was only one hole where there was true turf grass. The rest was crabgrass or weeds or dirt. The tee boxes were a disaster, sand traps had hard pan dirt.

I have played on a lot of courses over the years and this is by far the worst course conditions I have ever seen.

Close this course down or remove it from the online booking sites. Would hate for others to end up in the same place we did.

A work in great progress!

This course is under new mgmt. The new owner is really trying hard and succeeding in getting this beautiful layout back to where it should be. He’s working very hard himself and investing his own money into the course. Completely redoing #7 and revamping the sprinkler system. Resodding #7 after grading and rerouting
Drainage flow. It’s getting better weekly. Will be in better shape than ever in a few months. Improved the clubhouse and old pro David Cox is back to assist in the process! Ty guys for working hard to get us a nice local course to play!

This place is a dump

My wife and I are not picky but this is the worse golf course we have played in our lives. I cannot even describe how horrible it is. We paid for 18 holes and left after hole 6. This should not even be considered a golf course. Not too mention we teed off at 7:45 and the fore some in front of us had us waiting 10 minutes on every shot.

Don't waste your time!

This course needs help in many ways.
But I do think they are working on it.
One entirre hole was roped off, 16 of the greens were in horrible shape. Cart path with shake you to death, carts are struggling to run or brake. People playing there had no etiquette. No wonder this was $20 on the hot deals!
