Ugh

The awful reviews of this course are spot on…GUR on several greens. I understand we haven’t had much rain but this looks like a course that is up for sale, very little maintenance. Came to practice for a tournament next week, they should be embarrassed to host. Aside from the course conditions, no starter on a Saturday morning means your tee time was worthless. Started late, and no ranger meant pace of play was subpar. A few clown holes too…7 is a forced layup which is fine, but the tree in direct line of your second from the fairway is putt putt design. Par 3 eighth hole is short, but trees overgrown on both sides means punching s short iron up the hill. They do have a great Golden Retriever roaming around, but no one seems to pick up his deuces! Just a terrible experience…this course will be a housing development in the near future.

Will be my last time coming to the course. Wow it has gone downhill and fast. Greens were the worst of any course I’ve ever played. Unacceptable, especially for the $45 they charge. Every single green was pretty much unplayable. Never seen anything like it before.

Greens are in terrible shape

Some of the worst condition greens I have seen in the northern part of Indianapolis. The roughs were overly long...this is not a US Open Course. Hole placement on the greens was ridiculous unless the course was set up for perhaps a scramble, but not for individual golfers. The greens were abysmally slow and given the hole placement always seemingly unreasonably close to a corner of the green on far too many holes, the round was anything but enjoyable.

Worst course EVER!!

The condition of this course is the worst I have ever played. Big patches of the greens are dead. The fairways are mown weeds and the rough is a hay field. The tee boxes are mostly dirt now as well. How a course could get in this bad a shape is beyond me. This course either needs to be closed and rebuilt or plowed under to make room for more houses. In other words if your choice is play here or don’t play…then don’t play. Your local driving range is in better shape.

Great deal with last minute promo rate

Overall for $25 it was a great deal for this course. However, I don’t know that I would pay full price with the condition that it is in currently. Very thick roughs with heavy grass clippings, and some greens were in poor condition/damaged with what appeared to be mold growth or disease.

Worst course I’ve ever played

Although the people in the clubhouse were nice, and the clubhouse facilities were nice, I have never seen a course in worse condition. The fairways were atrocious, and as much a hazard is anything else, The rough was unplayable, and the bball was difficult to find slowing rhe 9 hole pace to 3 hours! The sand traps were horrid, and most of them filled with water. The greens were unforgettable, shaggy long, slow, differing speeds in different areas and about a third of all the green surfaces was gone due to some sort of problem with I don’t know what. I will never play that course again, and I would never recommend it to a friend.

Good deal with Golf Now Hot Deal

I got a last-minute hot deal to play this course. Compared to last summer, It is in good condition but some greens and fairways are still very patchy with what appears to be some sort of disease. The roughs were very rough with way too much grass clippings from recent mowing and still too high for an average course, with little or no transition from the fairway to heavy rough..it was difficult to find your ball even when it was right in front of you and only 2’-3’ off fairway! Overall the greens, fairways and tee boxes weren’t too bad for the price paid ($24/18 holes) but this course still needs attention.

Winding Cowpatch

This course continues to outdo itself year after year with some of the worst fairways in the city. In addition to fairway shape, several diseased greens in very bad shape across course. The management company has pretty much given up at this point….

This place has gone downhill

I used to love playing here but now it’s just a cow pasture. One of the worst courses I’ve ever played condition-wise. Really bad shape. Greens are terrible. It’s unfortunate because the layout has potential and it used to be in a lot better shape.

Love the layout, hate the greens

This would be a nice municipal course if they could just get the greens in shape. The layout is nice, lots of different types of holes with and without water. Just wish the greens were in better shape.
