Bad

It’s simply not worth $40 to play at this course. Terrible tee boxes, burnt out fairways and greens, cart paths are brutal. I heard the place used to be nice, but it’s now a dilapidated mess. Avoid

The course is decent enough.

$105.00 for 4 with a cart for 18 holes. The course is cheap and the conditions are what u would expect for the price. Nice people and a fun layout....

It used to be a great place to play and hang out afterward. Now its run down with no club house due to a fire that hasnt been fixed in over 5 years. Now for Pros and Cons

Pros - Can get through 18 with little to zero waiting
Bring a cooler with you on the course

Cons - Tee boxes grass is longer than the fairway
No club house - Just a shed with very little amenities

Disappointed

This course used to be a jewel. The clubhouse now is boarded up, dilapidated...there is no pro shop to speak of, and refreshments are seriously lacking

Hidden Gem

Course is in great shape. Greens were a little slow due to rain the previous day. Great course, challenging and very fun to play. Awesome value I would highly recommend playing here if you can. Will definitely be back. Drove 2 hours to play here so that should speak volumes about the golf!

Close this course

Shaggy, overgrown tees with bare dirt spots everywhere. Weeds in all the bunkers. No grass on the collars. Cart paths are bone breaking. I used rewards, so I only paid $6. Wouldn't have paid any more.

With TLC, could be good

Course was not in great condition, but I knew that going in. Hopefully the Crestview people will make improvements.

I went by myself and walked. Played in 2:30. No one was there. So, if you want to play a quick 18, this is your place. Just know, conditions are a bit rough. Greens were fine. Tee boxes were not. No amenities.

Don’t do it, not worth it.

Course is in horrible shape. Grass not cut & greens have fungus. It’s not worth playing even if it was free golf.

Stop complaining

Anyone that leaves a review saying the course is a mess needs to find a full-time job. The course is beautiful there is hardly any staff there, you go on the website and it says it’s co owned with Crestview but yet Crestview gets the better amenities, and social media all over…. I’ll stick with the under dog and golf with my brother again there anytime….. now the building and pool that’s another story and has nothing to do with the greens someone start complaining about that…. I’m not a member don’t intend to be … these members need to fight for the club house not the greens which are fine… most rain ever this summer by the way people !!!

You're dumb and your full time job comment was even dumber. The fire was suspicious and the owner refuses to tear down the old club house and re-build. The place sucks now. USed to be a memeber there and it was a great place to play and hang out.

Sad

You enter a beat up parking lot with a red shed as a "pro shop" and it doesn't get much better from there. You step up to the first tee and will have a difficult time even sticking a tee into the ground as it's a bunch of hard dirt and crab grass. There is crab grass all over the greens, collars, and more. The bunkers have grass growing in them. The greenside rough on the par 3 17th is about 9 inches tall. There is no clubhouse since a pair of fires a few years back. The course has been abandoned and I wouldn't recommend playing there.

Tee Boxes need lots of work

I totally get that wet conditions are unavoidable, but the tee boxes almost had no grass on them and the grass that was there was crab grass. Greens were really beat up as well. Layout is actually nice, if someone put some $$$ into the course it could be really nice.
