Sometimes it's ok to close.

It rained the night before..Called and asked if the coarse was wet? They said no it's playable. So as expected it was cart path only..Lol course was no where near playable. Every fairway had standing water on it and 90& of shots had to be moved to a piece of fairway that was not under water. If that wasn't bad enough they let 6 players play in one group together. Normally I'm patient enough, but when it's that wet and cart path only they should only let 2somes play. It was really really slow. And the 6some never offered to let me play through..Of coarse I just skipped a hole and played ahead.

Fairway Concrete

There has been giant mud pits in the fairways for far too long. It could be a nice course if that wasn’t a problem. I come back every 6 months and nothing changes.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Fairways are in bad shape and the greens need work.

The best part about this course is the restaurant in the clubhouse. I have played in twice in the last month and was underwhelmed both times. There is a beverage cart going around which is always nice but the employees in the pro shop are short, rude, and unwelcoming. The gentleman in the clubhouse on 3/4/23 seemed unhappy that our group was there to play and was only worried about getting us out of his way. The marshal was nice and reminded us once, respectfully, that we needed to keep up the pace of place. I don't mind being reminded and he did it nicely. The driving range is average but too close to hole 9 and there are a lot of yellow range balls in the fairway. If you hit the ball left, the front nine will be brutal as almost every hole has OB left. At least half of the fairways have large dirt areas without grass or have standing water/mud. The food at the restaurant is very good and the prices are fair. Restrooms along the course look like shacks that no one has upkept in years. Fine course for beginners or people just wanting to get outside but if you're looking for a good course, go somewhere else.

Winter golf

Course was in usual winter condition. Some fairways were pretty bare, but mostly on the front nine. The tide plays havoc on the fairways on 1, 3, 4, & 7. Back nine has better fairways. The greens were in full winter mode. They rolled fairly well and definitely fast, especially on side hill or downhill lies.

Needs some tlc

Not a bad layout but conditions are very poor. Fairways were very wet when we found grass. Lots of areas were just mud. Greens were all top dressed with sand when we played.

We played as a twosome but we encountered at least 3 singles along our way. Too bad there was no starter to pair up groups.

I only paid $8

So, I only paid $8 through GolfNow with a $10 off coupon. Let's just say the course wasn't what I expected from the photos. Play here if you have to. Fairways were rough. Mosquitoes were killer. I left after 9. Figured I got my money's worth at $1/hole.
