Marshall needs revaluation

Marshall came out when I was on the 9th hole and told me there was a 3 hole gap in between myself and the group in front of me. He told me the next group was on the 12th hole and that my group needed to pick up the pace. Although at this point we were right on track to play a 2 hour 9. I sped up my pace of play which of course caused me to play worse. I even skipped getting food at the club house on the turn to hurry up. Get to the 10th hole and there is a group on the fairway… left a sour taste in my mouth the rest of the game and played horribly. Won’t be back for a while, if ever…

Finn Scooters are the move fun I’ve had golf

A couple friends and I rented the Finn Scooters for our round. They were so much fun. Gonna have a hard time going back to the standard golf cart. The course was in good shape. Staff was great!

Nice Course-Overbooked

Loved the course. Going through some renovations and upgrades. Parking lot too small and had to park down the road. T time delayed an hour due to over booking and waiting for carts to be ready. Overall a good experience with nice clubhouse and cart services that came around about every 4 holes. Would go again. Just not happy with a one hour delay on t time.

In terrible shape

I hope the problems are because they are remodeling the course, but it was awful. Sand and dead spots all over the fairways and some greens. The layout is terrible and the signage is terrible so you get lost. They had a couple of what looked like temporary holes just stuck in. One par 3 was right behind the driving range and you had to hit off a mat. Most of the tee boxes were baren dirt with no grass at all and not level. I don't think I had a flat level lie on a single tee box. The course is just in really poor shape and that doesn't even speak to the over one hour behind they were after setting tee times 5 minutes apart until noon and running out of golf carts. I won't be playing here again.

Just So, So ...

As I hadn't played this course since it was known as Woodlake back in the early 2000s, I figured I would give it a shot. I must say I was disappointed. The course is a bit run down. to start with, the cart paths need some serious work done to them; they have completely fallen apart. The driving range also needs to have tee boxes where you can at least hit off a tee (use rubber tees under the mats like real driving ranges at the very least.) Also, the course layout was confusing. We had to drive from what seemed like another zip code to get from hole 15 to 16, only to find the tee box on 16 was a cement platform with carpet on it, hitting down to a small par 3. The drive to 17 was then crazy long. The greens were in fairly good shape. Several greens contained sand to firm them up I suspect as the summer golf season is now upon us and the use of the greens will be more consistent. Lastly, a little aggravating but we tee'd off a full 30 minutes after our tee time. Overall, not a great value for the $73 paid.

Booked a foursome and one guy didnt show and they charged me.

I like this course but on Masters Saturday the overbooked the course and we had to wait on the tee box for nearly 40 mins. One of our guys didn't make it and they charged my card for the no show. I've used Golfnow since the beginning and this is the first time I was charged for a no show. What a rip!

Course is awful.

Tee boxes are garbage as well as a lot of the greens and fairways. Cost to play should be lowered just for the inconvenience of hole 13 alone. Literally sat waiting for bulldozers to move for about 10 minutes before we could go by. I know that’s the start of the course being repaired, but it’s not worth the money you pay to go play here right now. Won’t be returning for a while.

Joke!

This is getting ridiculous at this course. Late teeing off for whatever reason. Started 30 minutes late and they ran out of carts. They need to buy more friggin carts and stop making tee times when they have a shot gun start. Definitely considering not playing this course again.

Hour Delay, Lack of Carts

There was an hour delay for our tee time, with no prior notice or discount on the rate. There were also not carts for everyone. Not worth the cost or drive

My absolute favorite

This is an excellent golf course it’s plays in many different ways but always very very nice. Greens are always pretty fast and roll very true especially in the summer. I’ve been coming here for a long time now starting my golf journey. Not only does the staff here feel like family but even ever member and player here are super friendly and help me in many ways. I’ve came a long way to be where I am today. You might here these bad reviews all over about here but really I tell you this place is amazing everything is good the people, the place, and the environment. It’s a must.
