Bargain green fees

I play here regularly. Fairways have improved drastically in the last month. Front 9 greens are in pretty good shape. Green surrounds are a 10/10. I play with a group of guys that all shoot in the 70's. If the ball is on a dirt patch we bump it to the nearest grass. The track layout here is truly amazing giving you a true links experience and very reasonable rates. Happy to have this course close to home.

Such a shame

This links style course has unfortunately really tanked since I last played it a year or two ago. Fairways were always iffy. But now the greens are basically gone to sod. It is worst than Cherry Hills on overall condition. And that takes a lot. It really should be closed until it can be brought back to playable

Could be better

Really like the course and all the people working there have been friendly and courteous. However, the course has been in some type of transition for a while now doesn't show much in the way of improvement and recently had someone drive over several of the greens, making putting difficult at best. Even the best greens aren't even average. I will still come out and play once a month or so just to see if hopefully, they can get conditions up to at least average. The setting and layout of the course is good and there is lots of wildlife especially waterbirds etc that you can enjoy during your round.

Fun and affordable

Perfect weather this morning. I play here regularly since the value is unbeatable. Course conditions are improving but still leave some to be desired. Layout is premiere, very challenging. Tee boxes are in excellent condition. Fairways are hit or miss, some look great and some have dirt patches. We bump our ball to the nearest grass if lie is on dirt. The back 9 greens have some dead areas but overall they still roll good and pretty true. There's a practice chipping green and practice putting green available to warm up on. This is a great course to play if you want to swing the sticks and save some bucks.

It’s a little more fun than a range

It was on a Sunday morning, and there were only a few players on course. The greens were almost dying. However we had a fun with the playing pace and checked how we can hit the ball, etc. I think you can play here as little money to spend and don’t have to worry about putting and your scores. Just enjoy the day with a beautiful weather and hit a ball like us did yesterday. Hope I can comeback here next year if they can survive.

Worst condition I’ve ever seen!!!!

The course was so bad we decided not to play it. I have played this course 50 times or more over the years. It has had its ups and downs but I would be surprised if it is not permanently closed in the next couple months. Very disappointed that golfnow would even represent or sell tee times to this facility. To top it all off, I am having a hard time even getting my money back from the booking. I really hope they will step up and refund me, seeing as how we did not even play. If not, I will definitely not be using this booking service again.

Course in bad shape

I’m a big fan of the layout of this links style course. Unfortunately it’s in such bad shape that I don’t see how they can recover the greens, fairways, or tee boxes. The only thing in decent shape is the rough.

Terrible

Don’t waste your time, the review score is skewed robot. Drive 45 min as this course was in good shape pre Covid. I was so upset that I invested that much time to be disappointed with greens in the worst shape imaginable.

So sad.

Summerly is unplayable. In the past, the fairways have been an issue, but they managed to keep the greens in decent shape. Sadly, they have lost the greens. Most are dead, or dying. Some kind of fungus appears to have killed them.
General maintainance also has apparently ceased. Trashcans had not been emptied in days. And general services are all but at an end. Even their phone numbe and website are down and they have no idea when either will be restored.
I first played this course when it opened in the late 90s. The layout was special. But the current owners have obviously lost all interest in the course and are hoping someone comes along and takes it off their hands. But the course is almost a complete rebuild. Unless you are a local or desperate, sadly don't waste your time here. I had my index here and played five or six times a year driving a long distance to get here. I won't be back.

Course was an absolute mess

Normally would never take the time to give a negative review, but feel it necessary. Staff was very friendly, but that was the only upside to the experience. I’ve golfed this course with my father in law numerous times in the past. I’ve never seen the course condition in such bad shape and to make matters even worse the bar/food option has been removed. At the turn was looking forward to some food and beverage, however was completely shocked to see everything closed. The employees at the front had no explanation and simply said they hope it changes for the good soon. Some of them openly admitted that the owner stopped paying the water bills and has given up hoping for new buyers. I really used to live this course because it was reasonable and fun. Until they start taking care of it I will be going elsewhere. Save the $.

Course conditions

The absolute worst conditioned course in the United States. I cannot believe there is a course worse shape. The greens have a fungus and are all unputtable. The fairways are just as bad. 50% mud and dirt. Had to pick up my ball all day and find a piece of grass to hit off of.

I guess that’s why it was $22 to play w a cart.

Excellent links experience

I play here often. Course layout is a 10/10. This track is very challenging for golfers of all skill levels. I was told the back 9 will be back open Monday so will be back next week!
