Terrible Experience

There was no water available, only beer and soda. the only food available were candy and small bags of chips. No beverage cart going around the course, minimal staff at the location. Pace was extremely slow and other patrons would steal your golf balls.

So slow I left after 9

There was a 20-30 minute delay and then the front 9 took 2.5 hours. I ended up leaving after 9 holes.

Terrible

No carts despite being told there were. Everyone was teeing off on 10, we were only playing 9 and noticed no back-up at 1 but were told we could not do that. We got off 20 min late and waited on every hole. A ranger was needed to pair singles together holding everyone up. The course was in dissarray, especially the bunkers. The clubhouse is condemned. Overpriced. Just go somewhere else… anywhere.

Scammers

If a round at this course was only $10, then it would be fine. Biggest rip off/scam of a course I’ve ever seen. Course is in terrible shape, terrible course management and overall horrible experience. I’ve met multiple random golfers at other courses talk about how ripped off they felt and would never go back. I’ve never felt compelled to write a course review but these scammers need to be called out. Avoid at all costs, unless they change their fees to $10 a round, then go for it.

Decent course

This course is decent not as bad as some of these reviews lead on. Greens are in decent shape and pace of play has been good when I’ve gone.

I left after the front 9

They were running about 20 minutes behind schedule and the pace of play was brutally slow. Between the delayed start and the 2.5 hour front 9, I decided to leave and not play the back. The course was not in good shape and the fairways were hardly discernible from the rough and the greens were so hard shots that hit the green were bouncing off the greens.

I paid for 18 holes with cart and when we arrived we were told that carts were not available. The worker stated that it was last minute decision and since we got a hot deal there was nothing we could do.
Not good customer service

Sad story once beautiful layout

The course is falling apart. No clubhouse, none empties ut trash cans by teach hole, and no one maintains greens properly

There is no pro shop anymore, and attendant has to sit at a table outside.. Drinking water is available from him..

Should I say more?

No management presence leads to chaos

Played here at least 10 time. Yesterday was a disaster. No starter, no one present to regulate play. Played 2 hrs 30 minutes on the first 5 holes. There were 5 balls and 6 balls playing together, A few of the players ahead of us played 10 shots and not even on the green. On the first 14 holes at least 60% of the tees we were three different groups waiting to tee off. The last 4 holes we played in 32 minutes, when finally most of the players seems to have given up and the sun was already setting. .

Multiple large iron divots on each green.

The fact that it was $60 to play at this course is outrageous. No ball washers, no sand in the bunkers, no yardage markers, massive divots on each green, and a condemned clubhouse. That should summon it up.
