Getting Better on the Front Nine

Still only 9 holes open, back 9 closed. The front is getting better as rain has helped green up the fairways. Greens are mostly good, a few had bad patches. Pace of play was excellent, 3.5 hrs for 18 holes.

Aerated greens and fairways

When booking there was no mention of course being repaired or that 5 of the 6 sets of nine holes were closed. Had to play cypress twice. Cart paths are terrible. Greens were aerated and balls could not roll. When putting the ball jumped up, down, right, and left. Unplayable. Course is clearly taking corrective action to fix this course and in time may be nice again. Layout is good and pace of play was fast due to the fact we were only group playing it. Purses should always disclose when aerating takes place so golfers can decide for themselves if they want to endure difficulties associated with this process.

Missing something

only the front 9 were open. Was not informed until after we had checked in and were walking to the golf cart. Bar staff were awesome and very attentive. Was upset at spending the amount spent to only play the front 9 twice, but we were the only people on the course so we enjoyed the privacy! Other than that, the front 9 were great and a good variation for my skill level.

The course was reasonably priced for the area

I was not aware that only 9 holes were available because they were working on the back 9. However they did give me a round for $20 after 12.

Terrible place to play

Should’ve been warned that greens were atrocious!!
There were no amenities. Staff was friendly, but it did not make up for conditions of the course, also the shear absence of anything worth mentioning or returning for.
Shame on Golf Now and the course for charging me, (an unsuspecting player) the price I was charged. Golf Now needs to review these horrible courses before putting a $60 price tag on these type of rip you off courses. I am not impressed with the course, but mostly ashamed of Golf Now!!

Long Course and Look Out For Nature

On hole one a crow stole 2 of my partner's pink golf ball. I bet it has a pretty stash somewhere. Nature is great. We saw 3 colors of Fox Squirrels and sand cranes. The holes are long. The fairways had areas of dead grass but we are in a drought. Some of the putting greens were mostly sand. The cart paths need work. Most of the holes were unremarkable. It is very flat which I appreciated since I was playing injured. We got a good rate so I was ok with the value.

Some greens look like bunkers

I was told over 6 months ago that this course along with another nearby course have been bought by a new owner and will be renovated immediately. The greens were the worst I had ever seen in person and some greens did not have any grass at all. The conditions of a few greens on this date 4/19/2023 were in worse condition than 6 months prior. Very few differences since the alleged new owner has taken over. I did notice one green in particular had been repaired, but it was still brown on the back half. The average price to play at this course is not worth the price for the poor conditions of the greens.

Fairways

Due to the time of year the overseeding is dying off so the fairways are a bit dry and rough. The greens are in good condition and run true.Have played it earlier in the season and it was good condition. The value on Golf Now made up for the spotty fairways.

First time playing

First time playing this course. The front nine layout is great and greens were in terrific condition. Fairways need work but I’ll trade that off for the greens condition. Back nine was rough but you can tell they are working on it. Staff was amazingly cordial and accommodating. We will be playing there again for sure.

Course Condition

Some of the greens were in bad shape. Staff should advise golfers of these conditions, especially when the green were air rated etc. Overall my round was great.
