First time playing here in 25 years. It is hard to believe, but it is in worse shape than I can remember. Only Oakland's and Rio Vista are in worse shape and they have been closed for years. There is a reason why it is on golf now for $10.

Can't beat the value for the money

I've payed there many times with my father. The course is challenging. Lots of water. Straight as she goes is the way to go on this course!
Yes the greens are not great. I understand that they mistakenly fertilized them twice and got burned but they are getting better and should be all good by next year.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.

unplayable greens

This course has no watering system. How can you expect to maintain a golf course in the summer with no water?? The greens got worse as I went on. Some greens only had 20 % grass and the rest was burnt grass and mud. To me golf is all about putting out. Some of the cups were sticking up above the so called greens. Sorry I waisted the 9$ and 20$ in gas. The course might be playable in May but not in the summer or fall.

Terrible managment closed with no forwarning due to rain however it was not raining

Had a 1 pm tee time booked at the course only to show up to a locked parking lot and the owner sleeping inside. The owner claimed the course was closed due to rain however it was preferctly clear overcast all day long. The owner refused to give a refund or rain check because we booked through golf now and lied to golf now about being open even though we were turned away. Apparenlty they dont enjoy making money.

Please fix the greens

For 10$ hotdeal (golf now) you cant really complain, but the greens were absolutely unacceptable, most were ok but some you cant even call a green. The gentleman at the window was s amazing. Its a perfect course to practice and and play,l.

Absolute garbage course with a terrible owner

This place is the worst golf course I've ever played in my life. Much better off playing any of the surrounding farmers fields near by as they are in much nicer shape than this dump. There isnt anything even remotely nice to say about this place. Even the owner/staff are pieces of garbage. Advoid this place. Couldn't even pay me to go back
