Do Now Waste Your Money!!!

The price may seem like it’s a good deal but trust me “IT’S NOT”. I’ve seen cow pastures with better conditions. Tee boxes and fairways were mostly sand and weeds. Some of the greens had more sand than grass, and I don’t mean that they had just been top coated, it was the lack of grass. It was my first and last time playing there. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

DO NOT PLAY HERE

This course is in horrendous shape. Tee boxes are uneven and have no grass on them. The fairways are mostly sand and weeds. It is a struggle to find any real grass on this course. The greens are full of sand , weeds and mostly dead. Paid for 18 and played the front 9 with hopes that it would get better throughout, it got nothing but worse. My group went into the club house to get a refund on the back 9 where we were told "you get what you paid for" what we paid for was 18 holes on a decent golf course. We didn't pay for barely being able to make it through 9 holes of a miserable sandy, weed pit where there was more grass in the retention ponds than there was on the fairway. I would never recommend this place to anyone and feel bad for anyone who spends money to play here in the future. If I could have rated this negative stars I would have

SOS - URGENT - PLEASE READ

I typically do not leave reviews, however this course/staff really impressed me! Hands down the worst course I have ever played.

•Tee boxes = Sand with 1 or 2 patches of grass
•Fairways = Rock hard sand with little to no grass to be seen
•Bunkers = Sand that has been packed down with a roller
•Greens = If you like brown bumpy greens, this is your place

If the manager would’ve helped out on the price I wouldn’t be typing this right now. Instead he told our 4 man that you get what you pay for, while agreeing that the course is not good.

Please don’t come here.

The course was not well taken care of at all. I arrived an hour early so I could warm up. Our tee time was for 11:52, at 11:10 the lady at the front desk told us we had to tee off. I didn't even get to use all of my range balls.

If they just

Love the layout! If they could get the all greens in better shape this place would really have lines to play :) I really enjoyed playing there , the layout was really awesome and loved the look of the surroundings. Just need their grass to get better and this would be one of my favorite courses of all time

A little better than last time

The greens were better, except for two, than the last time we played. Hopefully it will continue.

Fun course for the money

It’s a fun course to play but needs some TLC. Greens, fairways and even tee boxes need help. But when you can get a great deal on Golfnow for under $20 it’s worth it.

Needs plenty of work

Greens are the worst I have ever seen in 40 years playing .There isn't any grass per say, many greens you are putting on dirt. I just gave two putts on the green then moved on. Really bad. No drinking water on the course except at the bathrooms (one on each nine).
