Better Options Around.

Course very wet, more s than others in area. Fairways thin and greens bumpy. Good pace of play and friendly staff. Just better options in area for price.

Course a muddy mess

The front nine was cart path only. Cart paths were a muddy mess. Tee boxes thin on grass, fairways too wet with standing water, and greens did not run true with several having large bad spots filled with sand. Number 18 was in the worst shape. Back nine was in a little better shape. It is such a same as the coure has great potential. Have been playing this coures since 2015 and they are always working on it but never get it right. Way over priced for the condition of the course.

Wide fairways and, manageable rough make the course forgiving and fun to play. Greens were sanded and extremely fast. Friendly staff made it a pleasure to play

Opinion...

Fairways were adequate, but greens were in very rough condition. A lot of sand on the greens, some areas nothing but wet dirt.

One Bad Encounter Spoiled The Day

Everything was going amazingly and we were having a fantastic time. The golf carts and comfortable and the perfect speed. The greens were great, beautiful course!!! The hotdogs were yummy and a great price!

Our only hiccup and biggest issue was that at the 10th hole, a man, his wife and a second cart drove up to us just as we teed off and asked why we were playing there. Obviously we were confused but let them know that we already played the front 9 and are now playing the back 9. The man proceeded to yell at us, stating that he works there and is a Starter and our group, plus the 5 carts behind us should have waited for their group to finish the 9th hole and then we could tee of behind them (mind you we had already waited 7 minutes for the foursome in front of us to tee off). This is a new rule to me and to all the people who were also waiting to tee off. Several people behind us chimed in and corrected the man who proceeded to get even more upset and said he was going to go ahead of us since we don't know what we are doing. There was already a foursome on the fairway so this guy and his group are now waiting behind them, which put all of us even farther back to continue to tee off and play.

I sent this information to the golf course and never heard back from them or received an apology for how their staff, even when not working, treated our group and the groups behind us.

I would go back, however, it has left a bitter memory for us when we were having such an awesome day.
