Good Layout, but needs a maintenance team

I realize it’s the “off season”, but they have really let this course go! All the greens are well below average. Slow or bare. All the tee boxes are over grown or have weeds. All the fairways are over grown to the point it’s hard to tell the difference between fairway and the rough. Also all the bunkers are in waste bunker like conditions. Someone should be held accountable for the this course’s current condition. I’ve played here 5 or 6 times in the last few years and this was by far the worst condition I’ve seen it. Save your money!

Tee box were in very poor condition .Greens need lot of attention lots of ruff spots.Would go back again for the price I should realize what the course was like. They will have it in great condition when the northers come down. Not to concerned about local players.

Greens are bad

Tee box’s have no grass left, greens are so slow and bumpy it’s not worth trying to putt. Not worth the money.

Schalamar Creek

I’ve played this course many times, this is probably the worst shape I’ve seen it in. Many tee boxes and greens were in poor condition, the sand traps had not been raked and many had grass growing in them. The only notable maintenance was that the course had been mowed, but did not appear to have been trimmed. Sorry to see it so poorly maintained as we’ve always enjoyed playing here. The staff as always were friendly.

Greens could use a little help but most of them are in good condition. Course is nice and a little challenging. I really enjoy playing here. Good value for the money.

Was very disappointed in the condition

Played here several times over the last 2 years but hadn’t played here I. 6 weeks. I was surprised and disappointed in the condition of several fairways and greens. The 16th green was the worst. It was almost unplayable. The hole should be closed and worked on. Paying full price for a course that looks like this is sad. It’ll be a while before I even think about playing here.

Could be great, but not now

This could be a great golf course. I almost gave this course a 3 star rating, but the layout was really nice and very challenging and the price was right. However, the tee boxes, sand traps and especially the greens were in bad shape. The price was good, but you get what you pay for, I guess. Hopefully, conditions will improve sometime.

Course in overall good shape. Greens need some work in areas due to long dry spell and then lots of rain recently. They should keep improving. Trouble if you drive wild on some holes but fun course to play with lots of different looks with woods and water. Have played course for over 20 years.

Not a bang for your buck!

For $25 this “Championship course” as advertised was no where close to good. Greens in horrible shape. Rough not cut. Fairways are like hitting out of your backyard. Should’ve been a free round. Would not come back if someone payed me. Would’ve rather payed $50 to play Wedgwood if it was still around!

Over-sanded greens

We had just received over an inch of rain the previous day which helped with the seasonally drive weather. The ball still rolled forever in the fairways. The sand on the greens constituted a two stroke putting rule. In a couple of weeks it’ll be great again. I love this course and they’re friendly staff. Note: The starter is a stickler for staying on the cart path around the par threes. 😆
