Graded cheese greens

I don't know what's going on at Tara. The greens are in rough shape. The cart paths are in tough shape You all most need seatbelts in the golf cart's to keep you from falling out. The course was wet 45% of the time. I really like Tara, but what's going on over there.

swiss cheese greens

I know the aerated greens awhile back, but there still in terrible shape. They should post that they are not ready for pure golf at this time. The aeration of these greens should still be posted on GOLFNOW to let the customers know what's going on and not be surprised when they walk onto the greens

Aerated greens, but still worth it

Had a good time playing this course on 06/03/2014 I was told when I signed in to pay that they aerated the greens. Heck for $15.00 dollars why not swing the clubs. To my surprise the greens were in pretty good shape, can't complain at all. For being aerated, they where in better shape than a lot of course in the area. I'm be playing this course again before the week is out for sure.

Poor Back Nine

First I have to say the course it self is very nice. The front greens were in nice shape. But when you get to the back (9) most were in poor condition. At this time I would not recommend this course to my friends just for that purpose.

They keep the course in great shape. It seems to me that the greens crew is out there everyday keeping the greens in great shape.

The ground crew at this couse do a great job. Fairways and green are in great shape. Good job.

Poor course conditions

I played this course 7/18/2013 in the morning. After teeing off at the first hole I found out by myself that they were upgrading the greens. And also the fairways are very wet. You also have to stay on the coarse pathways. Makes for alot of walking between shots. Call before going to this course.
