Give it a year or two

Under new management. I would say in a year or two they’ll fix the water system so the course isn’t like a barren land. Dry fairways and greens caused excessive roll, mixed with leaking waterlines that created flooded areas were frustrating. Front nine has a lot of water, so you have to keep it in the fairway, or bring a bunch of balls

Burnt out

Greens and fairways were in shambles, pace of play was very fast. If ur an avid golfer I wouldn’t recommend but if ur a beginner golfer I would. Course has potential to be a great one if they put some money, and time into the course.

Wasted potential

We golfed here 2 years ago and the course was decent except for the cartpaths. Now the course is in really bad shape. The cartpaths are worse, the greens are patchy and bumpy, the rough is too long and there are too many blindshots because the thicket you have to carry is so overgrown you can't see over it.
On the plus side the course is affordable, the carts are nice and the bar was well maintained.

Same ol Captains

This course had really been going downhill over the years. Beautiful layout was so much potential. So badly neglected it truly needs to just be shut down for a short period of time to get it back in shape. Thought we'd give it a shot again with new owners this year. It's actually sad! All the greens are in horrible condition and when I say horrible I mean they are basically dirt with some grass here and there. The greens and most of the tee's are badly infested and not usable. I understand that this sort of thing cannot be fixed right away but the fact is no one is even warning golfers before they enter the course. Still asking for high-end course prices for a course that is pretty much not playable anymore. One hole the green was so demolished that they just plucked a hole in the ground in front of the green and stuck a flag in it. Really? Close the course temporarily or at minimum let golfers know that there are issues.

Greens terrible

I like the course I like the course layout but the greens were in terrible condition I think 17 out of 18 were diseased and you couldn't putt on them one was a makeshift green...
Also the tee boxes were in terrible shape with crabgrass all over them the fairways not too bad if I would have known about the greens beforehand I wanted to paid they should charge you 50%

Not great course conditions

I’ve played here multiple times but this year I’ve been here twice and the course conditions have not been good. The greens are all dead. I think there was maybe 2 putting surfaces where you weren’t putting through a dead grass/muddy area. Usually this place is a fair value, but the last few times I’ve been out here I feel like I am majorly overpaying for my round. The staff is friendly, but the grounds just seem to be unkempt. I enjoy playing here, but I will definitely not be back this year.

Don't go...

Hopefully next year it is redone but don't waste your money on it this year. It's burnt up pretty bad.

Terrible service

Showed up for a 6pm tee time, while it was raining outside. The storm was passing in the next 15 minutes. Rangemaster said to wait out the rain. After rain stopped we went inside to pay. And we were turned away due to the course “not being very fun” according to the hound man working the pro shop. Asked if we could play 9 instead of 18, due to weather and time delay. And we were laughed at by the person in the pro shop. We drove over 45 minutes to play and no one from our group of 4 will be returning. All in all. Absolutely atrocious experience. And as leaving we saw them letting people go out and play.

Disappointment

I last played this course about 4 years ago and was a good experience. Unfortunately, my expectations were let down completely on this occasion.
Come of the tee boxes resembled plowed fields. The fairways were in poor condition and lacked any care or attention. I counted at least four greens where there were large bare patches or rolled mud in place of grass. In general, the course was unmaintained and of poor quality. I had numerous courses in the proceeding week in the same area and this course was well below any of the other courses I had played. I do not think this was good value for the money spent.
