Course is a Dumpster Fire

I have played golf for over 40 years in many states and different countries and this is by far the worst golf course I have ever played. On top of that they charged a premium rate. The course was completely weeds, the greens were missing major parts of putt able grass and the tee boxes were bare sand or mud. I could not find one sprinkler head on the course and there was no evidence of them using weed control. The owners should be ashamed to even charge for playing this thing they call a golf course. Do not go here ever. This was our first time and will be our last. I would have given zero stars if the App would let me.

Green help

The back nine greens are uncuttable too many bare spots and bumpy. Front greens somewhat better condition but far from ideal.

Greens in very bad shape

I’m not sure how the greens were mostly good 2 weeks ago but now in horrible shape. Patchy, dry and no cushion. If you are lucky enough to land your T shots on the green, they had no chance of staying on the green. The holes are placed on slopes and due to the hard surface condition of the greens were miserable to play. They really need to get a professional greens keeper and maintain it properly

Never again

The course is not a venue for the visitor golfer, only locals that live around this course. Go elsewhere as the conditions are poor, especially some greens (told by a local they get worse because not much maintenance or watering of greens, and definitely not much not fairways with sparse grass). See you never again...Photos are of 10 which we sent as a joke to a couple that warned us not to play here - not all nearly as bad though! Play and enjoy the golf you have!

Pleasantly surprised

Played this course in the past and I've seen it in some terrible shape. So I was pleasantly surprised to see it in very playable condition for this time of year. A nice little executive layout in a small community, great for sharpening your golf skills, and fairly priced. A lot of vegetation was removed a few years ago that gave the course more visual character around the ponds, which now just resemble sink holes filled with water. But still a welcome place to play.

Short course, too many Par 3 hours.

Given the cost of the greens fee. You get what you pay for in this course. There's a lot of short holes and a lot of places where you can get in trouble where you shouldn't have to. Fairways and rough are in bad condition greens are recovering.

Nice layout. Great staff. Good value.

We were disappointed with overall course conditions. Good value for 18 executive holes. Good for working out the kinks / rust in your swing. Conditions aren’t conducive to working on your short game.

Hope that warmer weather and more sun will allow for improvement.
