It is what it is
This is a funky course is average condition. Fairways, tee boxes, greens okay, but certainly not great. The back 9 is basically an executive course.

Terrible
Tees to greens were in terrible conditions. Most of back 9 are par3! Essentially an executive course.
Won’t return

We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance.

GolfNow issue
Be careful navigating GolfNow. As you maneuver the site searching for a course it defaults back to “Today” unless you keep selecting the date. Missed the time as we showed up only to find we had the wrong day. Stupid, yes, but a nice donation to the golf club.

Golf Course was okay for the $$
We enjoyed our round of golf, however it certainly isn't in tip top shape.

Unlikely to play again
This course was ok - average value for the money. Very odd layout as I felt there were many holes where players behind us could hit into us (dangerous!)
Because of the layout and having to cross fairly busy roads (haven't had to do this at any course anywhere), I doubt I'll return.
Very friendly staff, pace of play was good.

Palms
First time playing in this area and should have done a little more research on this course. 18 holes but par 64 - mostly par 3s on back side. Course in ok shape but play was very slow. Not horribly priced for courses in this area during peak season but I won’t play it again.

Another day on the course
Greens are in good condition, but the fairways could use a little improvement. In the rough, it is very rough, and some places only have dust.
Still, a nice day in the fresh air, a nice pace of play and good value for the money. We played later in the day, and only played nine holes.

If you can get a hot deal….
Paid $53 with a cart. Played with the wife who just started. Great course for someone starting out. Mostly par 3’s on the back. Greens were in good shape. Fairways on the mend. Some tee boxes put you in the danger zone. Pace was good played in 3hrs and change. I wouldn’t pay full price but there were $33 hot deals that i just missed. Staff was good. Pro shop didn’t offer much. No logo balls if you are a collector.

Course needs a little TLC
I had a nice time but course definitely needs TLC and rates for this course are a bit steep given it’s condition.

Disappointed
Staff is quite unfriendly. Paid for 18 on golf now but they claimed it was only 9 holes when we arrived so I didn’t argue much. Checked later and it was supposed to be 18. Probably not worth the price for only 9 holes.

Had fun despite the negative features
This course is pretty minimal, but offers a lot of OK par 3 holes to work on the short game. Few staff in evidence and the check-in guy was very terse, almost rude. The cart kid was friendly and helpful. We had gale force winds on the front nine which made it quite challenging. The much shorter back 9 was a welcome change of pace. When I booked the round on GN, the site said that the fee included greens fee, cart, lunch and range balls - but only the first two were correct. Off-course amenities were minimal. Greens were OK, but had bare spots around the edges. Some water features were factors. Several holes on the front were pretty interesting.

Golf?
The front 9 was OK but you could put the back nine in a shoe box. End of story.

Not what it has been in the past
The pro shop and bar staff were not very friendly, might even say grumpy. The course wasn't in the condition it used to be. The overall layout is decent, but the maintenance staff needs to pay more attention. Totally out of food at the turn and we teed off at 11 in the morning. Don't believe we will be playing this one again.
