Unfortunately most of the greens had just been top dressed so they were not putting very smooth. Pin placements were also questionable ?

First Time Playing

Do not play this Goat Trail until they decide the want a Golf Course rather than a pasture being taken over by nature

Absolutely the WORSE COURSE I have ever play. No grass on the greens. Nature is encroaching everywhere. No rakes in the bunkers.
You can tell the layout was great at one time. In the clubhouse all club champion awards stop in 2014. I believe that was the last time they tried to maintain this Goat Trail.

Do not waste time or money here

Do not play here

This place is a fricking goat trail. No grass on most of the greens. The Forrest is taking over the course.
This is absolutely the worse course I have ever played.
I believe they quit maintaining it over 5 years ago. Waste of money and time

Needs Improvement

I’ll start by saying this got 2 stars only because I didn’t pay much for the round. Under $30.

There were no carts available until 30 mins after my tee time. The guy in the cart barn was just handing out carts to whoever asked first regardless of the tee times and there were plenty of people waiting. The delay was caused by a tournament - in which they let golfers sit down and eat at the turn in the clubhouse?? Never heard of such. The tournament still had golfers teeing off on the back 9 after 2pm.

I’ve played this course more than 10 times. Can’t say I’ll be back if this is what it has turned into. The greens were horrible for late April.

It’s sad people pay money to play here. Layout great, people great, course is unplayable. No water, no investment, getting worse everyday.

Terrible shape

Everything from practice area, putting green and every hole on the course was as bad as it can get. Almost every green was dead, fairways sparse or bare and tee boxes gone. On top of all this, we were charged full price. No one in the pro shop warned us of anything. We played this course about 10 years ago and it was awesome. Apparently new owners are simply letting it go. Sad to see a great course wasted.

Greens are horrendous

I’d have to say that these were the worst greens I’ve played on. Nothing but chalky surfaces and dead grass.

Played here before and it’s gotten worse.

Greens are gone

Fantastic layout and incredibly friendly staff, but they have some disease or something in their greens. Completely gone. 80% sand.

Course conditions

Greens were way below average . Grass to high around the course along with hazards everywhere with the broken up cart paths . It was playable . The service in the club house was second to none but the course itself needs some attention .

Greens are atrocious.

Greens are burnt to bare dirt and atrocious. To pay $65 is a tragedy for this course.

Totally unexceptable condition

Every green was unplayable. Most fairways were just weeds. The course was EXCEPTIONALLY un maintained. The only area that actually had grass was the driving range.

Getting worse

I like this course and i like to support out local community but...
Check in was ok and we started playing. No marshal and the speed of play was awful. Not the end of the world because i had two beginners so they could take their time and re-hit some shots.
Greens don't deserve the name. On most of them o grass is left and you have to put thru green bunkers.
Talking about bunkers, they are filled with mud and water.
No drink cart on a Saturday?!
This was the worst round i ever played, paying 65$ person.
