Had a tee time on for 12:05 pm 9/17/22. As usual we arrived a half hour early. I was not paying attention and when I got rung up the desk man charged all of us $38.00 instead of the $35.00 after 12 rate. He said we could go right out as there was no wait. No wonder. They are that hard up for $12.00 more he had to trick us?
Tee boxes were old pieces of cut sod that was totally dead. Some tee boxes were so bad they had temporary ones set up. There was no drinking water or any water in the ball washers. Crabgrass infested everything but the greens. The greens were super hard and burnt to a crisp. The sand traps were OK but not trimmed and some weeds were invading into them.
Pace of play was brisk as not many were playing this dump. Golf carts ran fine but they needed a good cleaning. I did not even feel like using news balls as the course gave such a low-class appearance. The one good thing was the cart paths. They must have used all of their COVID money to fix them.
It appeared they were more attentive to the wedding venue tents than to the course.
Never is a long time but I will try NEVER to return.

I played this course about 2 months ago and was pleased to see the improvements. I know it has been hot but the conditions that are now present are terrible and due to a lack of maintenance. When an elderly starter is dragging hose to water you know something is wrong.
Fairways are bare and what is not bare has crabgrass.
Tee boxes were crusty and loaded with crabgrass.
The greens were crusty in a lot of spots and a few were totally gone and were sand capped.
Some spots around the greens had real grass but was in dire need of being mowed. Sand traps were a brown hard sand, not very accommodating if you were in a trap which needed to be raked and manicured.
There was one worker on the course cutting the so called fairways around 4 pm. and that was all of the maintenance we saw.
There was no drinking water on the course.
Our cart broke down on the third hole and the group behind us also had a cart break down.
At best this was a $20.00 course due to the conditions.
I do not want to hear conditions were due to extreme weather as I drove past 2 other course to get there and they appeared to be in great shape.
Next time I will use google earth to check out conditions.

I have played this course several times over the years and saw it at it's best and worst which was the last two years. When it gets better fairways and tee boxes they will command a higher price. Sand traps were inconsistent. Some were hard and some had good sand. The greens were in good condition.Check in was very easy. Starter was accommodating and friendly. If there was drinking water on the course I never found it. The on course bathroom was just one step better than a porta potty. I will be back for $24.00 dollars a round with a cart which was in good shape also.

I have played this course a few years ago and stopped playing because the conditions were bad and at the time they charged more for an out of county resident.
Check in went smooth and the pro shop attendant was friendly. I was teamed up with another golfer and we breezed through the course. The greens were perfect. There was some clover and crabgrass in both the fairways and rough. The sand traps were OK. I will be back as it was a good test for the money.

I have played this course for over 20 years and this last time it was absolutely the worst I have ever seen the conditions. It appears that the head groundskeeper retired or quit. It was also obvious that no fertilizer or weed killer have been applied in a long time. The tee boxes and fairways were nothing but crabgrass. The greens should be called blacks because there was a black crust with patches of green weeds. The sand traps were weed traps with no rakes to be found. No wonder there was no one in front of us or behind us all day. The price was $27.00 but we should of been paid for removing crabgrass when we took a divot. Stay away from this course until money and time are invested to bring it back.

I played this course 4 years ago and came away saying never again. It was in terrible condition and the best part of the day was the cart ride.
I saw reviews that the course was sold and the new owners were putting a lot of money back into the course. With golf now we played this past week and I am pleased to report that there are vast improvements. The tee boxes and fairways were in good condition. There was no crabgrass on the greens and the traps were well maintained. The old first hole that was a par five has been designated a short par 4 and there was some rerouting of a couple of other holes but it was worth what we paid. I saw on their website prices in the $60.00 range. It is not at that quality yet but it is worth a strong $30 range. We were paired with 2 members and went out as a foursome. We quickly caught up to a group and things came to a crawl. There were no rangers and the pace of play caused one member to leave. This was the only drawback of the day. An almost 5 hour round on an October weekday is unacceptable.

I have been playing this course for over 25 years. Two months ago I played and paid full price and it was in the worst shape I ever seen it. It had crabgrass creeping into the greens with a lot of dirt and weeds in the fairways. Fast forward to Oct 27,2017 and I played using golf now and I found the course has made a good come back. Not one hundred percent but good. This course is fair to the average golfer. If you make a bad shot a good recovery shot can save your score. One drawback is there are no rangers and some players must think they are the only ones there. My last two times it took around 4 1/2 hours to play and that is unacceptable for a week day in Oct.

Right amount of sand, water and hazards. A bad shot can be redeemed with a good follow up shot. Not real long so it makes you feel good at the end of the day
