Counter guy let us off early. Smooth sailing on a challenging course. Tee boxes can use some TLC.

Waste of Time

While on a golf trip with friends we decided to give this course a try. Unfortunately I had knee surgery in January so could not play; however, I still came along to share some time with buddies. We had four rounds booked on this trip.

Point 1. Service. The other three courses played had no problem with me driving a cart even though I was not playing. I also had no problem paying a cart fee. Two. Of the other theee charges me $30 for the round and the other did not charge me at all. Bent tree wanted to charge the full green fee of $71, just to ride a cart. The starter said he would ask the pro after I told him I would try to walk. The pro was not going to let me go out at all with my boys. I was told there was not enough carts for our group to take 3 carts, but then was told if I booked on gollf now I could go out. So I paid $51 for a cart Clearly this was a cash grab.

Course conditions. The front 9 fairways were brutal. It was easier to find bare dirt than grass. The greens were acceptable throughout the course, the bunkers were atrocious throughout the course. Everything was hard mud. The back 9 fairways were better.

Overall this was a disappointing experience and I would not recommend this course for real golfers. If you want to hack around than fill your boots.

6 hours for 18 holes

Arrived on time to find there was a huge back up before even starting to play! Over 3 hours just to play 9 holes. No rain check allowed. No ranger. However, the course is a fun one.

Solid Course

Nice layout, decent pace of play.. greens were consistent but for fast later as the round progressed. Several tees needing care and poor Sandtrap conditions keep from eating it high. Really nice.price now compared to the area.

Overbooked

Course was in decent shape. I enjoyed the layout. However….This course allowed too many tee times despite a cart shortage and course being backed up. They stated that was “normal” this time of year. We booked one hour before so
The course should of been able to pull
Down tee times if it was already backed up. Most golfers went off 15 minutes late. Took 3 hours to play 9 holes. Cart guys were friendly despite the stressful conditions.

Worn Out, Some Investment is Needed.

The course layout is really good, it’s a fun course to play. However, whoever the owner is needs to invest some money back into the course & property. The years of neglect is showing, and sadly the course is on its way to becoming a goat ranch.

Bunkers need more sand

This course was fair to good. I would say 3 ½ out of 5. There were a few areas that were swampy. 18th hole bunker full of moss/algae. I found the bunkers had more of Mud consistently than sand which was the main reason for the lower rating. Could be 4-5 stars with a little sand and TLC. The staff were friendly! Would golf there again.
