Greens are in rough shape

The course is in much better shape than last year; however, the greens are still sub-par. No complaints on the fairways or rough, but the greens just aren’t what they used be. Not worth the money at full price, but if you find a good deal and can accept with a bad day of putting, I’d go for it. Hoping the greens improve over the remainder of the season!

So Worth It

Very enjoyable. Course in great shape although greens were a little bumpy as it looked they’d be aerated recently so vey understandable. Great pace of play. GPS on carts very helpful. With Hot Deal I couldn’t pass up playing. Probably the deal of a lifetime. Will go back for sure even without heavy discount.

Fox Hop

The golf course did not get our reservation through teetimes.com, but were very accommodating, and fit us in 5 minutes after our desired start time. It was a great course, with a fun layout, and challenging pin locations. The greens were punched on Monday, so they weren't in the best condition. Once those heal, the course will be mint. Definitely a fun course to play, and I'll absolutely go back.

Recovering

I hadn't played here since last fall. I stopped then because the storm in August had really damaged the course. They have new management now and are making progress in rejuvenating the course again. There are still a lot of greens that still need attention to complete their recovery. I'll be back to play in June to see how they have progressed.

Fabulous experience!

What a magnificent treat! Was searching with two weeks notice for suitable place to play for my foursome which has played literally all of the country. Was able to schedule this round for early morning.. I was not sure what we were going to get.. This will be added to our rouda whenever we are in the area.. The asst pro,, Eddie White was efficient,
helpful and friendly. The course was challenging from the White tees at 6100 yds. Maintenance was excellent and the lay out was such a variety. No two holes were alike!
A MUST PLAY WHEN YOU ARE IN THE AREA!

Greens

I have played this course many times over the years at all different times of the year and have yet to see the greens approach average conditions one time! Very frustrating because the layout is awesome and and all other amenities are great( carts, restaurant , range) and all other course conditions are very good , fairways, rough, bunkers , tees ,not to mention they get 100 plus in season at certain times, I guess I will keep hoping!,
