Rude lady in office

I have played this course many times over the past 21 years. However today a grumpy old lady didn't want to check me in as she was eating a sandwich at 10.15 aml. She was so rude it was unbelievable. Eventually she got off her butt and gave me a key for the power cart. She never said anything about the large group starting in 1 hour from #1 and 10 tees.when we got to #10 there was 12 golfers waiting to tee off. We went around them and played it after #18.. not coming back anytime soon.

Good course for short game

The front nine was in great condition but lots of muddy fairways on back nine.18 th fairway grass was very long,so hard to find golf ball..it just opened the day before from overseeding, so will get better. Greens were also very slow..

Friendly, helpful staff

One of the staff came to our car and carried my clubs to the starting area,while I was checking in at pro shop.greens and fairways were in very good condition. It recently came out of overseeding, and we had to do 90 degrees with power cart,but no problem. .power carts had ball and club cleaning on them.

Great day for golf

Bring extra golf balls. You might lose a few due to water hazards.vi

Course is drying out for overseeding

The greens were fast,and fairways good.the bunkers are not raked, and very hard,packed down sand..when I play it next week,I'll just throw the ball out,to save myself an injury.

The signage could be improved, as the couple we golfed with said they knew where they were going and got us lost twice.hard to find restrooms, as they were not on the fairways, but around a corner by some houses. The signage is not bright enough to see in a hot sunny day. Letters are just cut into a Grey blocks of rock..

Nice executive course

The only thing wrong with the courses is a few holes have large wet &muddy spots in front of the green..otherwise a great course.

Good executive course.

After checking in with the sarcastic lady,everything went well after that. Cartpath only,but narrow fairways makes it easy.course in excellent condition.

Course not ready to play

It was cartpath only,but the rough was awful,,so should of been allowed to drive in it.. very little grass on the fairways, some places it was just dirt..all of the greens had lots of sand on them,a nd they were very bumpy. You just had to say take 2 putts and pick up.
I shot a good score in spite of the lousy conditions as i didn't t go into any of the many ponds.on the course.

Wait a few weeks before playing this course.

Play somewhere else

The fairways had no grass on most holes, greens were just punched,and lots of sand left on them.
The couple we played with quit after 4 holes. It is extremely difficult because of deep gullies,sloped fairways. Balls rolled off the green on number 5 and went
across two fairways and stopped on dirt path 100 yards later..we are in our late 70,s and are in good shape so we're able to walk into gullies to hit our balls.

The yardage seemed off on some holes,and hard to know which flag to aim for,as some had 3 flags. Foot golf flags you could see from the valleys.

It was an experience I will not do again.

Best short course in victoria

First round of golf this year and the weather was great.course had two holes that had some wet spots on the fairways.they were marked off so you just took your ball out and hit it from a dry spot.this didn't bother my round and the rest of the course was in excellent condition..greens were good.staff always friendly..
Will play again next week.

good value for the money

I have played this course for 12 years.sometimes it is in bad shape,but this past year it has been very good..they just recently opened so some of the rough is too long& takes some time to find the golf ball.they still have not cut the grass in the wash (Creek area)& it is about 18 inches long. The fairways are very good,greens a little slow. I will play it when I get back in January.

it should not have opened yet

The course had no ball washers,no yardage markers that you could find,as you were not allowed on the fairways. It was not advertised as c.p.o. on golfnow.It just opened 2 days before we played.The fairways were not in playing condition & no cart paths to drive on,just rough that was 6 inches of grass. Hard to find a ball in that mess.It was WORTHABOUT 25.00 FOR THE ROUND,NOT WHAT GOLFNOW CHARGED FOR A HOT DEAL.
i WILL NEVER PLAY IT AGAIN.

Play elsewhere

Golfnow did not state on the website that it was c.p.o.,
So it was a shock that we paid so much for this course,only to walk most of it. No ball washer ,no yardage markers,that you could find.cart says they are on the fairway,but you could not drive on the fairways. Also they said to keep on the paths,guess what they do not have paths,only dirt trail,or sometimes just bad rough. Course should not have been opened yet,as fairways were in poor condition.i feel golfnow owes me a refund,as this course was worth about 25.00 to play in those conditions..

Friendliest staff ever.

We got there 15 minutes before tee time & were informed the men had a shotgun start at 5.30 & if we didn't get done before 5.00 p.m they would give us a free 9 holes of golf.Who else would do that? We actually played the course in less than 3..00 hours& were done by 4.45..we ate there & the wings were great,but the nachos were overpriced for what you got in a half order.
FRIENDLY STAFF EVERYWHERE.

no mosquitoes today

This course is known for people getting bitten all year round by mosquitoes,but today we only saw one.

We were put out as a twosome & two old guys were hitting off the 1st tee before we hit our second shot. We got to the 2nd tee-off & had to wait for the group ahead & the 2 behind us came up to the forward tee(wife was waiting to hit)& told us they were playing through as we were to slow. I said a few choice words to the 90 year old & said go ahead.IF i didn't we would have been hit by him for sure.He was really rude & we noticed the 2 of them drove past the twosome ahead of us & then played through the next foresome.We saw them on the ninth hole 1 hour after they tee-off. As far as golf went we enjoyed the course,greens were fast,bunkers raked,rough just right..Got a birdie & played under 4 hours.

this course has lots of doglegs

The first hole was typical of my day.I couldn't see the green or a flags anywhere . The score card had no picture of the course layout,so we played conservative off of the tee.
The course was in excellent condition.Greens were of various shapes & sizes that made you hit to a spot to avoid any 3 putts.

I shot an 85 today,one of my best rounds of the year.
Lots of golfers were walking,but it is a long course,so i rode.

fairways & greens were excellent

We played twilight & were finished in 4 hours. The only problem with the course is that you have to go over the sandy wash about 5 times. The last hole is the worst,but other well maintained holes make up for it. The staff could be more friendly in the pro shop. The starter was very friendly.
