Super Slow round in every way!

Played behind very slow groups, including a 5-some! Greens are slow too! Can never got a rhythm! Toon 5 hours and 20 minutes to finally finish! Awful experience

Course is in great shape. Many good improvements to the cart paths, the brush has been cut back and the staff is very friendly. A great pace of play.

New Ownership is Making a HUGE Impact!!

Course was bought out a month ago and the new owners have made more improvements in a month than the prior owners made in 3 years. Cart paths are much improved, trees are being cared for and they actually have staff workiing!! If their initial efforts are any indication, I can't wait to see what this hidden gem can become!!

Extra charges

Book online if you can. They up charge you at the course. Course has new ownership. Looks like they are fixing stuff. Taking old dead trees down and cart path help desperately needed.

Greens inconsistent. Very bumpy.

Too bad it rained

I loved the course. Too bad it rained. Glad we went around the 4-some in front of us. They were so slow and if we stayed behind them we wouldn’t have finished 9 in 2.5 hours. My back still hurts from the cart hitting the pot holes in the cart path. Thanks for the rain checks for the 9 holes we couldn’t play due to weather.

Not great but getting better

Believe they have some new ownership and I am hopeful things will continue to get better. New golf carts are nice. Staff is very friendly. Always cautious on 10-13 as fairways are right next to each other. Almost got nailed a couple of times. Greens are rough as are many t boxes. These aren’t things that can’t be fixed overnight. Cautiously optimistic. Great location. Sand traps need some help.

Needs some TLC

Positives: course staff (very friendly and helpful), golf carts (best in the area)
Negatives: cart path: terrible; like driving off road on some areas...vey old paving, broken up in many places, extremely rough.
Tee boxes: bring a jackhammer to get your tee into the turf. I know we've had little rain, but come on...
Course condition: dry...again, no rain lately but you have to do something because the turf is non-existent in places.
Course layout: one par 5, three par 3s, rest are par 4s (par 70). Some creative hole layouts nestled within a community of apartments and single family homes (not really a negative, just a description).

Reasonable Course

This is a solid public course. Although play was slow, multiple groups allowed me to play through as a single before I joined up with a twosome at the turn. Nobody seems to fix their ball marks on the greens and the latter were a bit slow, but I’d play the course again for the price and layout.

It’d be better if I didn’t lose my balls all the time

It’s an amazing course. Lots of water and houses. I’m not so good at golf, and still the course is not that bad! I do love it!
