Time Management Value 4 $
This 9 hole course is nice it’s competitive The greens are poorly kept and carts are raggedy. Prone to break down but they’ll come get you
Play is super slow 2 carts with 4ppl waiting and you allow walking that slows it up then 3ppl walking and sharing 1 bag my goodness but for the $ great value staff is excellent glad dine area open start making food please
You get what you pay for!
The course is poorly kept. Trash all over, tee boxes aren't kept, and carts are not clean.
Just for practice
This place is good for practice not rounding.
Horrible grass and no fence, so dangerous for the driving car.
Pretty terrible, but still ok for what it is
Course is overall terribly maintained...swamps and mud everywhere, greens are patchy or nonexistent, rough is not well cut.
However, for what it is, it's alright. Cheap, walkable, fast pace of play, decent place to practice your irons.
Plus, you can almost always get a tee time.
Not bad for a small nine hole course.
This course is not bad, super fast pace of play and has a nice range to practice.
Oh man !
This place sucks, golf carts suck , layout sucks , but it’s an inexpensive corse, you get B what you pay for
First impressions weren’t the best
This place could be a great golfing spot once the course conditions get better. You could tell summer did a number on the greens fairways.
I might try again in the future when things get back to normal. But for a golfing spot to just play at a reasonable price it will do.
Great for short game
Staff were as friendly and supportive as always. Tee boxes and fairways were in good condition, but the greens have some patches. Not sure whether the recent heatwave or other issues affected the greens so dramatically, but I hope they recover quickly. Still recommend this course to everyone.
Beware of staff
You get what you pay for. Guy at pro shop really needs to work on his people skills. Waited 15 min for cart, course could use some work.
WORST EXPERIENCE EVER
Didn't expect much for an executive course under $20, but this was worst than expected. Checked in about 40 minutes early for an 11:50 tee time and they were already running 30 minutes behind. The issue was carts. Not sure why that would be an issue. They should know how many carts are available before they advertise tee times with carts. The guy working in the shop was rude. I asked for a free bucket of range balls since we had to wait so long and he refused. Unreal. I bought a bucket anyways. The range was decent, but I was hitting balls over the back fence with a hybrid. No sign telling not to use woods. There is a tee box behind the netting and seems very unsafe. It was littered with range balls. Course was in bad shape and played EXTREMELY SLOW. Our cart needed to be pushed during the last two holes on a nine hole course. Ridiculous. The yardages were totally changed from what is on the scorecard. One par 4 was now a short par 3. Other holes had no yardage posted and had to guess. Greens were slow, as expected. Dude at the bar was cool. Don't come here.
Happy I did
This is a nice executive course, fun to play and work on shots (fairways are narrow and greens on the small side). My son in I do the hot deal have enjoyed it both times we’ve played there.
