Sharp Park Golf Course
Played On 03/29/2018Unplayable conditioning
Majority of front 9 was unplayable due to condition of the fairways. Landing areas off the tee were completely soaked so ball would fully plug and disappear. If by some miracle it did not plug, you still had to deal with the incredibly long grass and the ocean of white flowering weeds on every fairway. It made visually finding a white ball nearly impossible. Although hitting the "fairway", my playing partner and I probably lost 7 or 8 balls that simply could not be located. conditions were swamp-like even though it had not rained since the week prior. I guess there is just no drainage whatsoever here. Overall worst conditioning that i have seen and I play a lot of golf on a lot of different types of courses.
left after 9 and was denied rain check but don't think i'd return even if they granted me one. One bright spot was that the greens were relatively well taken care of. As were the areas around the green for the most part. Greens were quick and consistent.
I saw that other reviewers were complaining of dry and hard conditions. I would definitely welcome that over what I experienced. This was unplayable and the course should have been closed in my opinion. I heard that the back 9 was drier but if that's the case, then close the front 9 and only put people out on the back. Totally unacceptable that they let people play this and call it a golf course.
My tip would be to play during a drought and with a golf ball other than the color white.
