Overall good experience

It’s a fun course to play. The pro shop needs some work. The golf carts need some love as well. Stay away from the tall grass in front of the green on 14!!!

Hot

Our first time at this course and it’s was really fun. We had a duo in front of us who didn’t know, or, didn’t care about the pace of play(it looked like a lesson). They held us, the foursome behind us, for 2 holes. We called the office and they quickly realized the issue. The course is challenging and fun.

Hidden gem

This short course is all I need. Got an early tee time and I was done in two hours since the one group in front of me let me play through. The biggest negative is the lack of signage at the tee boxes indicating what hole your on.

I enjoyed the "short" 62 par round of golf!

I had a good time by myself today.
It went smooth without much wait at all!
They have been cleaning off some to the gees poop around the course too!
I will be back soon to to play :-)

Should be better

This is a great course for beginners but can be discouraging due to the lack of course maintenance. Fairway is decent but the greens and the outter grass needs to be better maintained. The grass is so big that you easily can lose your ball even if you miss the fairway by a foot. Other than that course is good.

Good course. Pricey for its condition.

Good course. Good mix of driver and iron holes. The course needs maintenance and hole numbers. This course has lots of potential. It’s a little pricey for its condition. Cart fee puts it over the top especially when you need to return them by 7:30. It’s not even sunset yet. There is walking option too.

Needs Care

The course has no numbering. The greens need cleaning. The grass is extremely long and tall. The carts break down, they are not charged so you can keep the cart thru 9 or 18 holes.

Fun short 18hole course

I’ve played El Caruso. many times. It’s , fun, challenging, and pretty well maintained. Practice putting and chipping greens are good and driving range mats are newer. The employees are very nice.
