Very Poor

Weeds growing on greens. No grass on tee boxes and around some greens. New owners not making the course any better. Why would you buy it to run it down?

Thank you for taking the time to provide us Feedback on your experience. We are sorry we didn’t meet your expectations during your visit. As it relates to turf conditions in “winter” months of January & February, the off-color yellow brown conditions are related to multiple days of heavy frost we experienced in late January. During Winter, turf color does not rush back to green and lush due to night time temps staying below 60 degrees for most of Jan / Feb / and often into March. The Greens can take on a purple, yellow, or brown hue during cold snaps and we treat them weekly with liquid fertilizer to bring them back to a greener tint. The dry winter conditions (with very limited rainfall) do create firm and fast conditions and tighter fairways. Overall, in the marketplace we have priced ourselves accordingly and offer a very good value during the high demand months. Our Starters and Rangers do their best to keep players on pace but in certain circumstances players can get unruly and somewhat vulgar at times. Finally, this summer we plan to renovate the entire golf course, new greens, new turfgrass, rebuilt bunkers, and new laser-leveled tee boxes with new turfgrass. In the Fall, we will reopen and have an entirely new fresh look. Thank you for your time and we hope you will consider visiting again.

Good value

Fair pricing this year compared to municipal courses at $69. Everyone else is gouging a little this year.

Poor condition

Why would new owners buy a course and do nothing to improve it?? No grass on tee boxes or around some greens. Weeds growing on greens. Fire ants everywhere on course. Never seen so many. Had to be careful on every shot and move the ball. Very dissatisfied!!
