Save your money

While it’s a bargain price, the course in its current condition is not a bargain. Over half of the greens had fungus and more sand than grass, many of the fairways were in horrible condition, and the undergrowth off of the fairways hasn’t been managed in a long time. Even though we haven’t had rain in a week or so they had a 90° rule, although the group in front of us was ignoring that and slowing down our pace of play tremendously. I won’t be going back.

Poor course

Writing this review, so that i do not go back to this course ever again. Greens were terrible. Need to put a lot more into this course. I recommend Charwood instead.

Fast greens, good layout.

As a lot of recent reviews have mentioned, the greens were pretty quick and some of the fairways need some attention. The heat has really taken a toll on the greens and there were several bald spots of sand around the greens.

Staff was very friendly and for the price it isn’t bad. Other golfers/members were welcoming as well.

The front 9 is very scenic and I saw raccoons, deer, and rabbits along the water.

I would play again, but I would want to make sure that the course has had major improvements to the greens.

Not good

This course has had course condition issues for some time now (years). It would be nice if they would circle the really bad areas in the rough and fairways as ground under repair. I did notice they have new golf carts and they were off loading new maintenance equipment, so maybe, just maybe, the course will get better this year or the next. Hope it does because it is a challenging course without bad conditions.

Getting worse

I have played this course various times over the past couple of years and the fairways and greens are deteriorating at a rapid pace. The price is more than fair and I like the layout but not sure if I will play again until it improves.

I hope the owner can investigate in the course because it attracts a lot of players and can be a gem if some worse is done on upkeep and greens/fairways management.

Horrible Greens

Don’t worry about keeping score, greens are so bad you can’t read any putt

Greens Still Need Work

Haven’t played this course over a year and decided to give it a shot again because we used to love it and I was reading some decent reviews. The greens are really their only issue out there. Fairways and Tee Boxes were decent considering the rain we had the week before. The greens rolled fairly true and weren’t in terrible shape with exception of about 3 or 4 that were virtually unplayable. I really hope they can continue moving this place back in the right direction.

I live out of state, and was very impressed with layout. Greens were very fast, and very undulating!! Next time I am in the area, I will definately play it again.

Over all a very good layout. The mounding around the greens makes scoring difficult. The greens were hard and crusty, and very fast. This made them virtually unplayable. They really need to use the sprinkler system.

Tee boxes ok. Thin fairways, some just ok, some pretty bad. Greens are coming around - most are rolling pretty well. Except 11 & 17. 11 is almost unplayable and 17 is closed with a temporary green. Hope the staff can get it back in shape for the season. Always have enjoyed the track.

Good Course

I enjoy this course every time I play here, good for working on your game. The occasional green or fairway can be choppy but nothing that makes it unplayable or less fun. Would reccomend.

Great value

I play this course once every few months. It’s a little challenging for beginners like me, but a really enjoyable course to play. The staff is fantastic and they are putting in good work to care for it. The greens especially need some TLC with sandy spots throughout. But altogether it’s a good course at a great price!
