Course is improving

You can tell the course has been improved in a lot of areas. The greens are now covered with grass and roll very well compared to this time last year. The staff has planted grass in many areas to make the course looked fuller and nicer around all the greens. The only things left now are to fix all the tee boxes. They are horrible and not even level. Several boxes you were hitting out of a depression. It was if they haven't moved the markers in a month or two??? I'm sure the boxes are next on the list.

Lost their greens

No warning that they lost almost all of their greens on the back. Putting on dirt on most of them. No chance of making a putt. 30.00 was robbery since they are so bad.

Greens in great shape

The greens are green and have a solid fill in. They are a tad slow but run true. Only a few small problem areas on three but werent in play. With so many clubs having lost thier greens this was a welcomed sight.

Finally some grass on the greens!

Made a trip from Columbia since the reviews indicated the greens were in good shape. They were in really great shape compared to the greens in Columbia. They should just shut down Indian River and The Spur.(Northwoods) Their greens are like putting on dirt. At Beach Creek Only a few bad spots on just two of them and those you could still putt over. The range had grass as well and was in great shape unlike Indian River where you hit off dirt. The greens rolled true and not bouncy at all like the ones in Columbia. The layout covered all possible shots in golf. Dog legs right and left. Short par 4's and long par 4's as well as par 5's. This is truley a hidden gem. The staff at Beach Creek was really nice and check-in a breeze. When I mentioned my tee time they replied with my last name and said were're good to go unlike several courses where they have no idea that you even paid, singed up, or wanted you to prove it with the e-mail. Very nice touch to actually care to keep up with the Golf Now deals. Sorry to bash the courses at this time in Columbia but asking 35.00 to putt over dirt is an insult. The only bad thing from this course was that the bunkers were very hard and had not been raked/turned over in a while. They were like hitting off the cartpath. Glad I was only in once unlike my friend was in them all day...lol

Greens are lost

Sorry to say the greens are in horrible shape. Every green had large dirt areas the size of a golf cart. Some greens had several spots like this and the roll of the ball was rough. Something, maybe a fungus, must have attacked all the greens. The fairways are coming in nice and greener. The tee boxes are very firm and had trouble getting the tee in. We were told they punched the greens last month but that didn't do much good IMO. Each green we would look around to see if the pin could have been moved for a better location but no luck! All areas of the greens were almost bare. You could see the black underlying dirt since the grass was so thin.

Response from on 04/25/2017:
Hi Terry, thank you for the review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the course layout and that our staff was friendly. We do however regret to hear that the course conditions were not up to par. This is not the standard we are trying to set for our golfers and will pass this info along to help make improvements. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
