Goat patch

It’s regrettable what’s happened to this golf course, wrong chemicals applied to the course and burned it up. All tee boxes are having to be redone greens are in sorry shape yet they still want you to pay full price for a round of golf. This is a goat patch masquerading as a golf course. Definitely not worth the money. Stay away

Poor condition

The current course conditions are terrible, dead grass everywhere except for fairway that are not in the best shape either. Almost all tee boxes are being replaced due to dead grass so tee boxes are temporarily moved either to the women’s tee box or off to the sides. For the price of a round not worth the money!

Horrid Conditions and Incompent Marshal

Course was in horrible condition which is unfortunate as it has the potiential to be possibly the most naturally beautiful courses in the RGV. The course layout is nice and features interesting holes that requires a variety of shots. Marshal was incompent and unable to maintain pace of play. We waited on every shot for the group in front, had the Marshal tell us to speed up the pace of our play despite us not being out of position. Meanwhile the complaining group behind hit into us while speaking with the Marshal.

Poor condition

Every hole had chemical burns, from misuse of chemicals. Should alert patron prior or reduce green fees. Also mosquitoes were beyond belief. Have played cours before and was in excellent condition, this time it was badly damaged.

Course needs a lot of work:(

I have played this course quite a bit, used to be a member. Came back for work trip and was very disappointed in the course condition. Great track and challenging but whoever is managing the course sure blew it! Dead grass everywhere, dirt tee boxes and dead areas around the green. Hopefully they will get this corrected but they have a lot of work a head of them.

Staff is great and I enjoy the 19th hole. The marshals do a great job and keep the pace of play moving.

Not worth the $

Approximately 8 weeks ago the ground staff sprayed the course to kill the weeds. Instead they totally nuked the course by killing to the dirt all the ground cover. Tee boxes, rough and green approaches destroyed. It will take a major effort to regrow which the course has not attempted to do yet. STAY AWAY.

Burnt-chemical/herbicide?

Large swaths of fairways and around greens are light brown grass next to green grass. Many greens have damaged areas. Many areas of "rough" are bare clay.
The layout is challenging but fair for straight hitter.
The standard price is excessive for the course condition but they obviously need $$ for remediation. Hot Deal price plus monthly $10 coupon is only way I play.

Talk about dead

Warning! Dead grass ahead. What a disappointment. Something went terribly wrong with the groundskeeper. Looks like they sprayed all the tee boxes, rough and parts of the fairways with Roundup. All 18 holes completely dead. Greens were decent and I loved the layout. Bunkers were hard as concrete. Don’t pay to play till grass is OK. There should be a warning when booking tee times.

SLOW

Made the mistake of playing on holiday weekend-5 1/4 hours. The 2 groups ahead of us playing from blue tees, and taking 2 or 3 shots to get past the forward tee blocks. No Marshall's on the course for entire round.
Never play here on a weekend or BYOB.
Huge areas of dormant/dead grass on fairways and around greens from? misapplied chemicals.

Great Round

Staff was friendly, Course was in great shape. Biggest improvement was the attitude and friendliness of the course marshals, quite often before we would be met at the first tee box by an overzealous somewhat power hungry marshal that was trying to be intimidating before we had pulled our driver out. Absolutely was a detriment to an otherwise great experience. Hats off to management for bringing onboard new Marshalls that are good representatives of an excellent course.
