I paid single digits to walk 9 holes and feel robbed

Tee boxes are horrible the greens have no angulations and are super slow. The fairways are atrocious. I paid 9 to golf and I feel robbed

Don't expect super pleasant greens or fairways but if you're a beginner like me, at this price point, it's unbeatable.

I do not like the fact that if you book your tee time online (via GolfPass or similar) you are not allowed to rent a cart.

Service is bad in pro shop

There was sudden extra fees after booking online for a hot deal. Go figure the hot deal isn’t what it is.

Waste of time

1st, The picture does not reflect the course. It is anything but green and well maintained. 2nd, The driving range nets are down on the 1st hole and range balls litter the course. 3rd, the staff personnel are rude and unprofessional. 4th, most the driving tee's are dirt just like the fairways. 5th, the noise pollution between cars, trucks and planes is ridiculous. Save your time and money !!!!!!

You get what you pay for

First off I'd like to say that this course is not good if you're really looking for a good game. However if you're like me and a casual player or someone pretty new and you just want to play a short game, it's a great value for the price. Good place to work on your short game too.
