Terrible Management

Do not waste your time or money here. Right when we pulled up the starter (which we now found out is the owner) was extremely rude and disrespectful. We had a threesome and a twosome with back to back tee times. We planned on playing a 2v3 scramble. We teed off separately but we were backed up by a slow foursome in front of us so we combined and stayed right on pace with the foursome. When we came around the turn the starter put himself in front my my cart and continued to cuss us out. I had to physically leave my cart because I felt threatened as he put his finger in my face and yelled at me. He then paired one of our groups with a single golfer and put him in a very uncomfortable situation. He forced us straight to hole 10 without the option to stop in the club house to get food, drinks, or even use the bathroom. In addition to this, my sister in law who I was golfing with is pregnant. As we looked back (waiting for the foursome to tee off in front of us), the starter then turned to a father and his 7 year old daughter and yelled at them for reasons unknown. It is absolutely unacceptable for someone, let alone an owner, to speak to paying costumers in such a disrespect way.

Once again, do not waste your time or money if you don't want to deal with this drama.

PS The conditions of the course was also horrid. They to not keep up with this course at all. The fairways and tee boxes were mostly dirt.

They don’t check their golf now reservations

Got to the course and no one was there. If you are going to advertise a 630 am tee time and allow me to book it you should have staff there. Not the first time this has happened. I would just stay away.

I think this is where Club Pro Guy's videos are shot

The best part about this course was the clubhouse and staff was friendly the time we played there.

The greens were recently aerated, so it was like putting on an eggo waffle. I've been to courses where they punched recently, but nothing close to this.

The front 9 took forever and I guess half the groups gave up because the back nine was fine as far as pace goes. At one point in the front nine, we were passed by two carts who went down by an area we couldn't see too well. We thought maybe there was a portapotty down there and they knew this, but once we rolled up we realized they all just peed on a retaining wall! Anyway, I peed there too so if you are reading this maybe put in a portapotty down there!

ATROCIOUS

Terrible golf course. It is like playing in a backyard. The staff was yelling loudly because someone was driving their car near the first tee box - that is the epitome of this place. We were forced to double up (booked for two). Go to the range instead, go putt-putt, do anything but play this course.

Charged for round even though we had members sick with covid and couldn't play

Horrible Place with terrible and selfish ownership. Ill just preface by saying I have played this course at least 10 times a year the last 3 years. Every time pace of play is horrible and the rangers are absolute trash humans. Now on to Sunday events, We had a 3 person round scheduled for early morning. 2 of them came down with covid and woke up with fevers and couldn't play. Instead of just taking our reservation fees and realizing it might help with their horrible pace of play. Instead they decided to charge me 90 dollars for a round we didn't play. This wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't for the multiple rounds I have played with horrible trash humans that yell at other golfers and ruin everyone's time that claim they know the "owner" and dont have to pay for rounds. They claim they get to come up every weekend day and play 36 holes for free which is a slap in the face to all the paying customers that respect the course and the game. Wont be seeing me spend any more hard earn money at this place run by thugs that just want to give their "buddies" a free place to play. Disgusting customer service that is like a spit in the face to the customers that actual pay to use this course.

Had Group Members End Up Sick and Still Charged for Round

Horrible place that will no longer be getting my money for tee times. I started golfing 3 years ago and been to this course 10 times at least a year. Till Saturday when I had two members of a threesome come down sick with covid symptoms. It was an early morning tee time and I didnt hear from them till just before the tee time. Then I find out that instead of just not filling the spot and helping their already horrible pace of play. They decided to charge me 90 dollars since my partners ended up sick. Absolutely horrible way to treat paying customers especially when I get matched all the time with horrible humans that supposedly know the owner and flaunt in our face(paying customers) that he gets to play back to back 18 hole rounds for free every weekend. Just another scumbag place that treats paying customers like crap while using their ownership to benefit their friends and allow them to play on fully booked days. When there is already 3 groups backed up on the first and second hole tee boxes.

Rate should be cheaper

Pace of play was very slow. On some holes there were three groups waiting to tee off and two groups behind us. We skipped the last three holes because we were tired of waiting. The course condition is poor. You either hit of a small piece of grass, brown grass and weeds or dirt. This course is not maintained very well.

Too many high handicap golfers on the course. No Marshall to keep pace of playing moving along. Two groups backed up on almost every hole - took right at 5hrs to complete

Don’t expect much

Booked a tee time Sunday morning and was immediately rushed to the tee box. Front 9 went great but when we made the turn they started to send people off the back 9 as well as the front 9 without warning. Backs up the entire course. On 18 was told to hurry up because they had run out of carts since they don’t know how to count or properly space tee times to keep carts consistently. Followed us into the parking lot to get the cart barely giving us a chance to even get our things out of it. It’s cheap but they don’t know what they’re doing so don’t expect too much out of them

Weather made for bad course conditions

Lot of the course was flooded, mud all over. Need to try going again when weather is better. That was my bad.

Understanding

I’ve played this course multiple times through the last few months. Especially as a newer golfer it’s an easy course to remember, pace of play can be hit or miss but my most recent time it was great, not very long waits on tee times, or anything. Clubhouse check in was easy and quick, does looks like they were trimming some branches and had a lot of leaves around but course was in decent condition for what I expected. I would come back and play, and usually do with multiple friends, it isn’t as top tier as a private club, but for something on the cheaper side, it isn’t a bad deal for a round of 18. Greens were great this time around but have played when they punched and sometimes can be slow. I have developed the tendency to play first thing in the morning which seems to be the best.
