Inaccurate description of the course

Not exactly 18 holes. It’s 12 holes + 6 par 3 holes. I booked through TeeOff with carts included. It turned out that after 12 holes on riding carts, we had to switch to pull carts for the park 3 holes. No. 3 hole was even closed without an advanced noticed. The layout is confusing, GPS watch can not find the distance at all. The grass is completely brown, hard to find balls.

Nice fairway and greens

Played there a few times lately. The course is in good condition, not very challenging, but good enough for us.

Hope the course stay in business

Come to Norfolk to visit our son, found this course on TeeOff, we did not have high expectation since the rate is low. Both my wife and myself are pleasantly surprised that the course is in good condition, staff is helpful. We will come back again. Heart that the course maybe closed soon, this is a shame. We hope the course stay open.

Poor course cindition and unfriendly staff

There are many brown and very soggy patches converted with hays right in the middle of fairways, I understand that those are being repaired, this is in June and middle of prime golf season. I am not too concerned if not for the staff attitude, as follows:
I used an golf app, TeeOff, to purchase the an round. when I showed up at the front desk, one staff showed me that he's not happy because the rate is lower than the "lowest rate" they had to offer. I found myself explaining to him that I had nothing to do with this rate and I simply booked with an app... Once I got on the course, I realized why the rate is lower than other courses under the same management (Brambleton). The fairway condition is very poor, I have to relocate balls on half of the holes on the course due to the soggy condition on the patched areas.
The starters, insisted that I started from the back 9, which is fine with me. but then I realized that there are for groups of foursome in from of me. as a single player, I found the pace to be unbelievably slow, and had to skip all the back nice holes and proceed to the front 9, which is a lot faster.
This makes me think why the staff are less than friendly and welcoming...

First class service and very friendly staff

Got the deal from golfnow, play the course the very first time. The starter, David, offered to help with my bag .the course was frozen, so my driver seemed longer and so as my putts.. anyways, it was a great round, pace was good since very few people were on the course. After the round, Davis offered hot towels and cleaned my clubs. I am very happy with both the course conditions and excellent services. I will come back

Staffing is a concern

update to my previous review...
there have been twice that it felt like the one of the staffing is not friendly, in fact, very rude. Here are my experiences without mentioning the name:
I was on the cart with a friend in an afternoon, it was 6 pm to be exact, 15 mins later than we were supposed to return the cart. We were on the 18th hole. One of the staffing came to us and demanded that we leave immediately otherwise he would just stay next to us. So we left as directed. On our way out, he had to approach us and told us that if we were late again, we would not be welcome to this course. we are 15 mins late on a 18 hole course, considering we are already on our way out, it is really disturbing to see this kind of attitude.
The other day, I was there by myself, I brought in a few range balls that purchased on Amazon and wanted to hit a few before getting on tee boxes. The same staff came (on a cart) to me and told me that I needed to buy balls from them to use the range. I was trying to explain that I mistakenly placed an order on amazon for some range balls instead of regular balls... well, he turned his back to me and drove away before I even finish my sentence.
I am not sure whatever I did there deserve this type of treatment.

nice and pleasant course

My first time play on this course. It was a little drizzling and course is wet but for most part I can still get on and off from my riding cart. The course is wide and relatively easy even for my as a beginner.
The conditions of fairways and greens are very good. Unless some other courses in the region, tee boxes are all open to public. I can't ask for a better deal than the $10 plus $3.5 fee to GolfNow.

If I have to put some comments in CON section, it is the bunkers. There're no rakes provided in bunkers. Also some courses nested in residential neighbors make me a little uneasy.

Overall, I like it and will come back when the price is right.

Good course conditions and friendly staffs

Pros:
Jumped on a Hot Deal by GolfNow and I am very happy to see the conditions and friend staff. How can you beat this $13.5 deal with riding cart and 18 holes on a very well maintained course?
Cons: condition of bunkers are not ideal but this could be due to the cold weather. There is no rake in bunkers
