Worse course around

I’ve played bad courses but this course takes the cake. Tee boxes were dirt, loss balls in the fair way due to the amount of weeds, and sand was had with no racks or broken racks. Would never play here again or recommend it to anyone

Worst course ever

This course isn’t even worth 10 dollars let alone the 50$ we paid to play this crap. I recommend nobody ever comes and plays here

Okay…

So it’s not the most groomed course…you can lose your ball in some fairways, there’s no real food, a few tee boxes are just dirt and there can be trash all over. The most annoying thing is how narrow this freaking course is and anything left or right is in huge brush or a smelly “creak”.

But that’s the bad. The good is the staff is ridiculously nice, the green fees are not bad at all, it’s quiet and pace of play is extremely fast. A few holes are really thought out and fun/challenging. The narrow fairways, though they make me mad, force you to play a short course more strategic than just bomb it to the green. I just wish missing the freeway doesn’t mean a lost ball each time. I’ll for sure keep coming back for a quick 9 or a last minute Sunday morning urge to play. It’s golf…

Terrible, showed up for 10:30 T-time 40 minutes early and they didn’t have any carts, golf courses need to stop over booking

Find somewhere else to play.

They are overbooked and don't have enough carts. My cart wasn't charged and I quit on 13. They don't have a Marshall and there are a bunch of bad golfers on the course who don't have the courtesy to let faster players go through. The lady in the clubhouse is very sweet so there's that.

Pricey for the value

Greens were not good. Fairways were just ok on some holes and bad on others. Needs to be maintained better. Good layout just dry and dead on most holes. Great potential but not green enough.
