Atrocious course

The entire course is in terrible conditions. Tee box had weeds all over it plus the dirt was so hard I broke 3 tees just trying to push them into the dirt. Fairways are covered in dry hard clay patches. Greens are unplayable, I’m pretty sure if you drove over the green in a golf cart it wouldn’t do any harm to it at all. I paid 100$ for 2 players with a cart 18 holes. Terrible terrible terrible course.

Never finished round

We have played here before and enjoyed it. This day was not a good day. We had an 8:40am tee time. Apparently they scheduled a tournament that morning also. After checking in and being sent to the starter we were told that we might get off at 9am. Start was about 9:10am. It was 2 hours before we finished the 4th hole. What was really disappointing is that we were only able to do 9 of our scheduled 18 hoes due to the dleayed start and slow play.

Good value track

I live close so this is a review based on my proximity. Price is right most of the time. They usually have day of availability. Course is in ok shape but rains have done some work on it.

Clubhouse has a nice staff and they will get you set up. Pretty relaxed. I think there is a new course manager who is trying to make a difference.

Course has lots of dead spots, manicured for daily play, and the layout is nice. Like almost any course just needs some $ & TLC to be a good course. There is no driving range but there is a putting/chipping green for warm up.

Sadly, horrible conditions have ruined this course

I golfed at Westport last week, and was extremely disappointed. Having played the course numerous times over the past three decades, I have seen it go from its plush conditions of its inception, to disrepair, to overall improvement under Stan Overton's direction, to various shades of further disrepair. The conditions of the course have never been worse. Greens were bad, tee boxes were worse, fairways were lacking a major ingredient -- grass. Sadly, this course is ruined, and it will take a monumental effort to recover. I pity the folks who have homes on this golf course, as there are no positive elements to enhance their home values. Won't be playing this course again unless and until huge improvements are made.

Priorities

Had to play the back nine twice because of green aeration. No notice on the app that this was scheduled. Recent storm had an excessive amount of downed trees and debris. Not the courses fault, but could have prioritized clean up before green aeration. Tee boxes trash looked like it hadn’t been emptied for a week

Needs some love

Well you can’t have it all. Westport is appropriately priced for its situation. This course just needs some love as the layout is still challenging.

Somewhat worth the money

It's not really the best kept course but it's also not priced to be that. It could be an amazing course if they would keep up with it, but they really don't. I enjoy playing it if I don't really have anywhere else to go and I want to save some money. The greens are hit or miss, you could get one hole where it is about perfect and one hole where it's mostly sand. Tee boxes are not good at all and some fairway's lack grass completely (in parts).

Worst experience I’ve had

The staff in the clubhouse was the rudest I’ve ever experienced. Showed up for my tee time and asked for an extra cart. Was told it would cost 50 dollars. The guy at the register said he didn’t care what the price online was that was “his rule” riders pay full price. Drove an hour to play here and was told to leave because I asked for another cart and even when I said the rider would just ride in the cart with us was told I had to pay 50 extra dollars and cussed out. Never been treated like this at a course and I was as polite as I could be. I don’t know how the man running the register has gotten through life to this point because he was the most disrespectful person I’ve met. DO NOT GO TO THIS COURSE!! Worst experience ever and I’ve probably played 100 golf courses in north and south Carolina

Poorly Managed

This was once a beautiful golf course however it seems over the last several years, course maintenance has just been severely lacking. The fairways are littered with dirt patches and weeds. The greens are rock solid and covered in sand as well as areas of the green are bare with no grass almost like mini bunkers on the green. The other golfers on the course seemed to have no respect for the course which didn't help, AKA driving right up on to the tee boxes, and directly down the fairway right up to the greens.

Tough Course w/ Decent Value for Beginners

The course isn’t beautiful, (Tee boxes and fairways need a good deal of work) but the greens are well kept and relatively fast.

Very interesting holes….lots of doglegs. Provided a good challenge and great entertainment for a beginning golfer such as myself.

No driving range, putting green needs work, hotdogs at the turn were excellent.

Better courses for the money

Course needs a ton of work. Fairways don’t exsist. Greens are horrible. Tee boxes are basically grass areas of dirt. Was told the owner stopped investing into course and started investing into building houses. I guess owner doesn’t realize owners houses would like a nice course to play in a great area. Sad to see how much potential course has. Hard layout but overall fun to play if it were in better condition.

Westport

The golf course conditions were very poor, perhaps from season change perhaps from understaffing but fairways and rough un mowed and greens in bad need of mowing. A lot of bare ground in playing areas. Cart paths in bad shape. Better value around the area for similar price
