Great layout if course

Course both fairway and greens in terrible shape, 99% of grass was dead, I understand water restrictions, but you might be taking it to far, it’s like playing out in a cow pasture

Fun layout but greens are horrible

It was my first time playing this course and it doesn’t look like the pictures on the app. The layout is fun and has some pretty sights but the greens are not one of them. If you care about greens then stay away until they redo them which I heard was next year.

Don’t play

This course is simply abysmal, greens are even worse. Do yourself a favor and just don’t play at this piece of junk

Just BAD

Played this course a couple years ago and the course was well maintained and in great condition. So I figured I would make the hour drive to play it again, I made a horrible decision. This course is atrocious. Don’t worry about taking your putter because you don’t need it, can’t hit putts on these “greens”. I wouldn’t recommend playing here even if they paid you to do so. Very disappointing

Fun course - don't walk!

First time to play the course. I was planning to walk, thinking that it would be fairly flat as it is along the river....or so I thought. The Marshall caught me as I was walking up to the pro shop with, "....we don't get many walkers here...". After a pleasant conversation I decided to get a cart. THE BEST INVESTMENT of the day!

Unplayable honestly

This would’ve been my 3rd time playing this course and let me start off by saying it was my last. Every round I play there the course gets worse and worse. Greens are non existent. Sand, ant mounds, and brown patchy grass for greens. Fairways were bunkers. And bunkers were weeds. You cannot even drive a tee into the ground on a tee box. Even if it was free to play I would not play here.

42$$ bucks is too much!!

Great layout but the green’s definitely need a lot of work! I’ve seen improvements since the first time I’ve played this course but it is definitely not with 42 bucks right now.

Great layout, Greens need attention

Love this course and layout. However in the dead of summer heat, the greens are out of shape. I look forward to playing in the winter.

Never again

I first played this course 8 years ago. Was quite nice back then. Fast forward. It’s going to take a heap of money and a ton of work to even begin to bring it back. Everything about the place is in terrible shape. Golf cart with no brakes and filthy dirty. Tee boxes nothing but hard dirt. Some places impossible to drive a tee in the ground. Fairways With craters in them. Long story short. Save your money and write this on off as a lost cause.

Such a waste!

I grew up playing this course and love the layout. Unfortunately the course has gone downhill and poorly maintained since after the extreme drought in 2011-2015. The greens are terrible and very slow. Bunker is being taken over by weeds. Fairways are the aftermath of battlefield. I won’t come back here unless $20 or less for 18 holes. I’m really disappointed to see this beautiful layout is being wasted under the lousy management.

Fun

This place is fun to play, some holes r in terrible shape but they’re still fun, you get more than you paid for. Take it for what it is and enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of it.

Shameful

This course used to be one of the finest in the central Tx area. Hopefully there are plans in place to revitalize it!

Course condition issues.

Not a bad layout. Some well designed holes. Friendly staff and quiet, so great pace of play. The price is also very reasonable. The problem is with conditions. Very poor quality playing conditions from tee to green.
I’m told efforts being made to improve. Would happily play again if course condition can be improved.

Fun challenging course

It rained the night before so the greens were long fairways were wet, with that being said, there’s still lotta bare spots in the fairways the bunkers need some serious attention. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, and the value on GolfNow made it worthwhile.

Course in transition, hopefully for the better.

The course has declined noticeably over the last several years, but the bald patches on the fairways and greens, the cart path potholes and bathroom problems have set a new low. That’s the bad news.

We did notice several work crews clearing trees and moving dirt and cutting trees. We were informed that a new owner from California has taken over operations and intends to embark on a total renovation of the course and physical facilities. That’s the goods news for now, but we’ll have to wait about a year before even thinking about returning, as the extent of needed work is very significant.
