Poor

Rude inside staff, and some of the worst course conditions I’ve ever seen. Would only recommend this course if you’re new to the game and are looking for a cheap course.

Great value

Looks like they’re getting ready to re seed so course was pretty dry. But great value for 18 holes!

Paid for 18 but only had time to play 9 due to the foursome in front of us. God bless the elderly, but they were so slow that by the time we got to the nineth hole, we were waiting at the tee box, another twosome was waiting behind us, a single behind them and another foursome behind him. It was insane that there wasn't a ranger to handle the situation. Half of that group had to leave after the nineth hole because it took more time to complete the front nine then it normally would have taken to complete 18 holes.

Great Place to learn the Game

Great course to learn the game on!
We Love the Staff! Not sure who owns the course, but it would be GREAT if they would fix the bathrooms on the course, so the ladies can close the doors. Please and Thank you 🤞

Wait until over-seeding is completed around late October

It's all been stated before by other reviewers. Poor conditions overall. Cart path is a complete mess with numerous ruts and bumps. The course restrooms are deplorable. golf from the driving range litter fairways for holes 1,6 and especially 9. Ball washers may or may not work. If they work, they might well be dry. The greens are playable. You do get a half way decent roll. The course will do if you are a novice golfer or just want to practice on your short game.

Pace

Paid for 18 holes and due to pace of older foursome in front of us we only had time for 9 holes. Took 4 hours today complete those nine holes and by the time we got to the tee box on the ninth there were four groups waiting on this slow elderly foursome. God bless our seniors, but a ranger should have intervened. Of the ten (4 groups) backed up, 5 individuals were not able to complete their 18 holes that they paid for..

Lack of maintenance

The course was recently watered so there was a lot of mud. Some of the fairways were dirt. The cart paths need to be re paved. A lot of potholes.

Junkyard Course

Tee time delayed by 1/2 hour because there were no golf carts available. In the meantime they let anyone who walked play in front regardless whether they had a tee time. So naturally course was backed up. Took over 21/2 hours to finish 9 holes and this is a short course. Course conditions were horrible. Fairway was mostly dirt and rough was nothing but ball swallowing weeds. Considering rest of course greens were almost playable. Do go unless you absolutely have to.

Course is in horrible shape

The fairways are mostly all in very poor condition , many of which have wide, long patches of just dirt. Same for rough. It’s the worst I have ever seen the past few years.
I would not recommend to anyone to,play this course. Desperately need tender loving care.

Rough shape

This place is in pretty bad shape. Lots of weeds, lots of uneven ground, potholes/missing cart path. It is typically inexpensive but that is about the nicest thing I can say about it.
