Horrible
No one was working upon arrival and about 20 people were just standing outside waiting. Eventually people just started playing because they got tired of waiting. The course it’s self was not well maintained, the green felt like you were waking you on multiple layers of loss carpet. The tee boxes are way to close to the last holes greens. The course is so tight, if you hook or slice, you’re hitting someone on the adjoining fairway or tee box. People were playing in flip flops and no shirt. The course was cheap but, didn’t expect it to be that bad of a course. They definitely do not care about what goes on here.
This course is not worth playing on.
Staff was rude, greens are a joke. Wasn’t pleased with the pace, overall disappointed. At least it’s cheap!
Work on your game!
Course was great! You have a lot of beginners on this course so the pace is a little slower. Gives you a chance to work on your golf swing mechanics. The only downside is hole 9 is being used for training on Saturday. You would need to replay one of the holes to get a full 9 in. For the price it's a great place to play to work on your game.
New Golfers Paradise!
I'm new to golf and really love this place. The shop has amazing deals on used clubs and full sets of irons! Only downside I can say is the greens need work. Feels like a 4x4 putting experience with the amount of bumps and weeds. All in all amazing place to play and have fun!
course is playable & fun
the course is 9 holes playing 18 . two tee positions for each 9 holes
on weekends or when we play saturday, the 9th hole is unavailable to play do to young children’s event.
This is unfortunate because the 9th hole is quite a challenge.
Practice course
Great practice course decent fairways good course to really practice on your direction. Irons and could even get some good shots with driver. One thing I will say is the greens could use some attention due to poor greens, putting properly for birdie, or for par was difficult.
Great to Practice
You tired of the range? Need a place to hone your skills on the course. This is it. Driver, 3 wood, 5 wood, hybrid and irons. Practice your pre-shot routine, short game, alignment and full swing. Here is the perfect place to play for less than a large bucket of balls. Remember, it’s practice. Take advantage of the facility and improve your game. The pro’s started on tracks just like this. Players know. Enjoy!
awesome practice course
First time coming here, friendly staff, great deals! definitely worth checking out! will be back weekly.
Challenging 9 hole the wind was blowing pretty well which made the course more difficult to play.
Good iron practice
I came just to practice with my irons. Worked on short game mostly. Hit a few good tee shots with 3 Wood. Because of a bad back I can’t swing to good with my irons, I do not get the distance that I need to get to or close to the greens. I mostly use my hybrid clubs.
You could say I got my 7th and 8th shots down... just need to work on shots 1-6 and my game will be better... lol.
I just need to manage my game with the clubs I am used too. I mostly play biggie golf with a few pars now and then, birdies have come but not as often as I would like..
The greens had started to get better but were really bad today, really bouncy and sandy.
Improving every week
My two playing partners always notice how the course is always getting better each week that we play here.
Staff is always very friendly and polite. From fairways to the greens constant improvement.
We use this course to practice. We are seeing a little more progress each time we play and will continue to play here.
False advertisement
Looks nothing like the pictures!!! Course is a mess. Rather play in an open parking lot than this dump. Shouldn’t even be called a golf course
