How do you politely call a garbage golf course - a garbage golf course?
The staff was very friendly, the golf cards worked well, and the weather was nice. That is the entirety of the nice things that I have to say about this place.
There was not one square foot of grass on the course that did not have weeds everywhere. And that was where you could find grass at all. Mounds of dirt, Piles of overgrown uncut weeds, and 18 flag sticks does not mean you have a golf course.
If you hate your friends, tell them to go play Palatka.
Never again. Not at any price.
Not even if it was free.

First- The Positive. This is a pretty nice little course.
It’s not long at all. But you have to keep the ball in play.
The greens were a little mangy in spots. But not too badly and the ball rolled nicely.

Now- here’s the problem.
This place was insanely slow.
It took us 3+ hours to play the front and there were often 3 separate groups waiting on the tee to hit.

I’d blame the rangers, but when it’s that packed, what can you do?

My advice- charge $5 more per person and put 3 fewer 4somes out per round.

From the moment we got ready to hit on the first tee, we should have known this was going to be a rotten day.
Before our first tee shot was struck, someone walked up to the box and said “ I am playing with the group in front of you. Do you mind if I hit?”
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the starter actually seemed to think it was ok. We looked at him with puzzled faces until one of the other players came back and picked him up.
The next 6 hours of my life (which I will never get back), was spent waiting on dead tee boxes, or putting on grassless greens.
We saw one ranger out there and, even though he agreed the pace of play was unacceptable, he did nothing to push the group ahead of us.
The only positive thing I can say about the place is that the woman at the clubhouse bar was very friendly. Which was great because we did not see a single beverage cart on the course at any point during the round.

The fact that they have the nerve to charge $50+ to play here is the icing on the cake.

Even if it were free to play, I’ll never play here again. Ever.
