No starter, tee times don’t matter, wait in line and wait on every hole for 10 min

Perhaps a good course to bring your kiddo if you have 3 or 4 hours to play 9 holes.

Thank you for the feedback. We are a fantastic option for junior golfers 17+under to learn and play for free! We apologize the typical 2 1/4 hour pace of play was not met and will take this as growth opportunity. Hope to see you again

No maintenance and No marshals

Pace was very very slow, had to wait every hole. Course is full of annimal disposals and muddy holes. Some green even have two holes for you to putt…

Horrible course maintenance!

22% (2 of 9) greens were completely flooded due to sprinklers and hoses actively watering the greens WHILE PEOPLE WERE PLAYING. I had a 7am tee time and the greens were still being serviced! Had to skip putting entirely on 22% of the greens.

Course layout is BORING and horrible. Almost no elevation or unique features in the fairways. It’s essentially just one giant lawn with an occasional sand trap randomly scattered.

Incredible staff saves the experience

The staff here are incredible, however the course is poor. Tee boxes are so bad. Layout is boring. Conditions were terrible. Feels like I was playing in a public park. It’s a shame because there is potential here but clearly the city money is funneled more to the Sydney Marovitz and Jackson Park.

Despite this, the staff were incredibly friendly and good people. Would play it again just for their friendliness but wow I wish the city maintained this course better.

You get what you pay for

Title says it all. It’s cheap so you get what you pay for but the tee boxes are in rough shape.

Great place to work on your game

Basic 9 hole course with wide open fairways. Easy to get to from the city when traffic is low. Good value for its location. Conditions are average and design is bland, but it’s a great place to learn and improve your game.
