No Rain Check Golfnow was no help
Delayed start time to let rain pass, rain intensified and the course would not allow a rain check. Told me to contact golfnow. Golfnow website didn't offer any links or help on the phone. Wasted money.
Great course design very challenging
I will definitely be going back here again. Great course layout and great amenities. Highly recommend.
Over 5 hours
Today was a good day for golf. Only lost one ball,the course was not as good as it's been,the fairways had chunk patches of grass everywhere and they needed to mow , the greens were just ok they rolled true made two birds.i will go back i and think they gave the mowers the day off.
Hairy greens, portly maintained
This course seems like it was once a great course, it’s in very poor condition now though.
Need a marshall
I do enjoy this course but they desperately need a marshall. I played as a single and had a group of 3 that was scheduled for the same tee time that wouldn't group up with me. So after 2 holes the foursome in front of me let me join them.
It was nice but a group of 5 on a Sunday afternoon makes for a long round. But the 3 folks that didn't wanna group up ended up waiting for us quite a bit and left after 8 holes, which I was amused by. Wouldn't have happened if a marshall was there to explain to them how tee times work.
Don’t waste your time.
If you research the course their online presence is great. However the course you see is not the course you will play. Their members course is the beautiful course you see online. Very disappointing to show up and realize you have been tricked into paying decent money to play a terrible course. Please play somewhere else.
Very poor maintenance
There’s a reason why it’s cheap. Good layout. Poor grounds maintenance
Fairways and Rough Bare spots
Many many bare spots in Fairway and Rough areas. Greens were good condition. Fairways were very poor. Rough areas are very poor. Obviously all the $$ goes to Sterling CC. Would not recommend this course.
Poor course condition
First time play here. Course fairway is the worst conditions I ever seen. There are barely any grass, if you like to hit off dirt, this is the course for you. Zero maintenance.
not worth it!
Unfortunately this course has been neglected and in a terrible shape. More often than not you will find yourself hitting off of mud or dirt.
Bunkers are full of water to the point that if you're ball goes in, it will be hard to get it out again.
The greens were decent but nothing I would brag about.
Beautiful course
Course layout is perfect, and the staff is professional.
Great layout, Great Greens, Bad Fairways
Played after a big storm so take it with a grain of salt. Love the layout, Greens were fantastic, fairways need some work but overall I liked it. Good challenges on some holes and it forces you to control your distances off the tee.
Conditions
The course was in the worst condition I've ever seen it. I would not play it again until they improve the conditions
Good to get out there
A nice stretch of weather drew me out to my favorite course. I’m partial to the links style and the way the two finishing holes are designed around the creek is just amazing. Greens were in surprisingly good shape considering the hard freezes the area went through. Fairways have a ways to go considering the clay soil and San Augustine grass being in hibernation. Preferred lies are the way to go around the clumps. The guys in the cart barn are cheerfully friendly. Number seven par 3 white tee into the wind was a bit too far for this 73 year old but that’s a me problem and I was enjoying teeing off with Justin my playing partner.
