Fast and bumpy greens/tall rough

The greens are very fast, bumpy and hard. Difficult to hold. The fairways need mowing. The rough is tall and thick. Difficult to fix your ball.

Thanks for feedback. With all this rain, we have to wait for the ground to dry up enough to get the mowers on it; small windows every couple of weeks this winter. Yes greens are fast; when they have a little moisture, ie: rained the night before, they putt slower. Champion bermuda greens are very firm/tough so yes ballmarks are harder to fix but also harder to make.
Thanks for feedback, hope to see you again soon.

No grass on the greens

Played here in 2018 and the greens were in rough shape and had temporary holes. Played again in 2019 and none of the greens had any grass on them. It was mostly sand. Aside from the greens, the grass condition was good, but they need to pick up the grass shavings.

Thanks for patronage and feedback. Champion bermuda greens so dormant in Winter; they are still teenagers (renovated Summer 2018) so keep checking them out; they are starting to get color in their cheeks and setting up for a great Spring and in Summer they will be amazing cause love the heat.

Thanks again.

Did the golf shop staff explain they are dormant bermuda? New as of Summer 2018. This is a great grass but yes goes brown in Winter; our members (over 550) really enjoy them but had to get over the color. With temps warming, they are getting color back. Keep checking them out, you will see why we are excited about this grass. Thanks for feedback.

The “greens” are terrible

They have been working on this course and its not getting any better. It was a complete waste of money to play. Forget putting unless you are great at a slick, ice-lick surface. I wont go back til it’s finally finished. Not worth the money at all

Appreciate your patronage. Apologies not experience you hope for. When they have moistrue (recent rains) they slow down, and they are now coming out of dormancy and growing with warmer temperatures. Greens are Champion Bermuda and survives challenging conditions of hot Summers. Yes when dormant they putt extra fast; still need one more year of growth to reach full maturity. Keep eye on and hope to see you check out again.

Horrible greens

I have played here before and liked it, so I decided to book a tee time for me and my father in law. Little did I know their greens are dead and packed with sand. Considering it was full price, I am not happy at all. Especially since there was no warning while booking the tee time. I would have booked a different course that I know is in better condition. The course itself was pretty beat up as well. The only thing that saved me from not absolutely hating today was the amazing food in the bar. I will play this course again when the greens are nice. I would not have been upset if I knew the conditions while booking, but nothing was posted.

Sorry experience not favorable. With all the rain, getting the mowers out is a challenge until ground firms up. Greens are dormant bermuda; could still use another year of Summer growth to mature out. They are growing now so are slower/not ultra fast. Give these newbies some time, you will see why we brough them in.

Worst golf course I’ve ever played

Beware. Take ur money and play elsewhere. I will call this place a cow pasture if anything else but a golf course. All greens are compacted sand/dirt. No grass at all on 18 greens. Fairways are sick and badly maintained. Immediate rough are all wild. Good luck finding your ball. They will have to pay me to ever play here again.

Hard to get mowers out; I'm PGA and have played to private clubs in last month and their rough up too; can't access until firms up so small windows there. Greens are dormant Bermuda so no green color in Winter; also fast speeds which is refreshing compared to old slow greens. Give Champion some time, check out as it gets warm; it will make sense. Thanks for communication.

Dirt greens

Greens have been re-planted, so now they are packed dirt.
Lots of water on course was understandable along with un-mowed areas because of the rain. But the tee boxes were horribly torn up and the fairways seemed to have many types of grass.
We will not return.

Dormant bermuda yes. It is something to get used too. Kind of decision golf courses are making to still have public golf. When they have a little moisture they putt slower. Lots of guests like the extra speed but understandably difficult. They are getting color with warmer temps. Keep trying them and you will see what they are about. Especially in Summer heat. thanks.

We roll them so smooth and yes they are exceptionally fast. Still need one more year to reach full maturity. This Champion Bermuda is hearty and loves heat. Come check out as we warm up, please give some time. Will make sense.

Dead Greens

Thought I had a great deal until we teed off and realized that all the greens were dead. Dead pan dead. Sort of pointless to play. But we roughed it out for 9. Couldn’t take anymore and headed in for some great burgers.

Line tree a Diamond in the rough

This course has made a complete 180... I swore I would never play here again but then heard of the time, money and energy that was put back into the course. The course is green and lush. The greens are amazing.. can’t believe the turn around this course has made.

Can’t complain for $20

For $20 bucks it is a good value as long as you are not expecting something more. The greens are poor on pretty much every hole .be aware in 1st, 8th and 10 that there are a ton of range ball all over fairways. Can be touch ding your ball. Really need to sweep these up daily.

Need marshalls during the weekends.

Two 2-somes joined up in front of us and they were extremely slow. We finally skipped a hole so we could pass them. If we didn't pass them, we would have never finished before sunset. While driving out, I saw that they were only starting the 17th hole. This is after putting away my clubs, changing my shoes, returning the cart, & using the restroom. O-brother!!

nice greens.

Lone Tree has new greens that play well. The fairways are in poor to fair condition. There is no chipping area right now because of some renovations. The driving range has no grass at all. The restaurant wasn't open today, but usually it's very good.
