This could possibly be the absolute worst golf course in America.

I don’t even know how or where to begin to review it.

Let’s just start from the beginning. After checking in at 0835, I proceed to the first tee for my 0847 tee time. Where I find a group in the fair and 2 groups waiting to tee off in front of me. The group directly in front of us is a 5 some, so that should tell you all you need to know about this course’s management team.

While waiting to tee off there is a collection of roughly 20 people surrounding the number 1 tee box, the number 10 tee box and the practice putting green, which is no larger than a standard living room rug.

Then after waiting approximately 25 minutes to officially tee off, I was then exposed to what could possibly be the absolutely worst golf course in America. To call this course a goat path would be insulting to goat paths. You’ll find more grass in the crack in the parking lot than you will on most tee boxes. The fairways are littered with dead patches and unfilled divots. The greens putt and feel like a well manicured shag carpet. The cart paths wind endlessly with no signs or direct. A savvy neurosurgeon could make a small fortune repairing the bugling dics on the pour souls that dare drive them at any rate of speed.

Pace of play is absolutely abysmal. You can time a round on this course with a sundial. I saw two gentleman in the parking lot that were clean shaven and by the time they made the turn they had each grown 3-foot long beards. Then at the turn when asked how the round was going by a staff member, I dreadfully replied “Slow”. The staff member then replied “well that’s to be expected when you have 91 players out before 11am.” I can’t believe there were 91 first time players like myself out golfing that day, no one in their right mind would return to this godforsaken place for a second round.

The ONLY saving grace about this course is the random gun shots that ring out in the distance. This give you a sense of hope that a stray bullet might find you and end the horrendous nightmare that is a round at this course.

Around hole 16 you get a nice view back towards the club house. It is quite reassuring to know that the building hasn’t crumbled to dust in the decades you have been gone on the back 9.

It should be illegal to actually charge a fee to play this course. They honestly should pay anyone willing to waste 7 hours of their lives out there- and even then I would never return. If this was the only course in the world, I would trade my clubs in for a tennis racquet, or pick up knitting, or watch paint dry. All of which would prove to be more enjoyable than a round here.

I’m not quite sure who or what Heddles was, but they need to hideaway this course from every major search engine when using the key words “golf course”.
