OVERPRICED

This course is NOT worth even close to what they're charging!!
There are bare patches all over the place; the tee boxes & greens are pretty rough. Also be aware that you have to pay an extra $20 just to get in the park, making your $100 tee time actually $120. If you're going to pay this much go to Bears Best, Lanier or play twice somewhere else. This used to be nice for say $60 but nowhere near $100.

Maybe 1 day it'll be good again

As of April 2023, the course is in really bad condition. The fairways are absolutely terrible and many of the tea boxes are in pretty rough shape as well. The greens were decent but some of the pin placements were screwy.

The clubhouse is entirely closed so it's porta potties only. They were grilling burgers & stuff when we teed off around 11:30 but by the time we finished at 4:30, there was no food or anything available.

I've played it in much better conditions for less money so, for the time being, I plan on playing elsewhere for the remainder of this year. I understand they're putting a lot of investment into it so hopefully one day it'll be nice again.

Nice Course - Greens Need Work

The course has a nice layout. We played on a Sunday finished and just over 4 hours. The tease and the fairways are nice but the greens could use some improvement. Unfortunately the clubhouse is closed, for almost a year now.?? :(

Beach Golf Anyone?

Might as well bring your clothes to the beach and practice for Sanchez all day because that's what it was like playing here. See the attached photo of what passed for agreeing the day that we played. Unfortunately almost every hole and most of the course was in a similar condition. I would definitely save the money and go somewhere else

Not worth $20

The tee time reservation said "includes cart " & yet, no carts. I had to negotiate just to get a PULL CART, even though there were 4 outside!! There is no grass on most of the tee boxes. The first green literally has a crater the size of a small bunker. Needles to say, the price attracts many novices so the pace of play is abysmal. If you can afford to golf, spend the extra $10 or $20 where you'd have a better chance at enjoying your round.

Personal Best despite cart shortages

We played on a Saturday at 11am & they were out of carts for 75 minutes! I rode on the back of a friend's cart until they brought a cart, to the 8th hole. Despite that, I had my best round ever at this (or any) course.

Great value for the money. We booked through GolfNow for about $20. Course was in great condition and hardly anyone was there.

Perfect weather
Used cart

This is a longer course than many in the area. You've got to be a baller off the tee box & hit an accurate approach shot to have any chance at par.
