By far the worst course condition I have ever played on. The fairways had weeds like it was the rough. I shouldn’t be rewarded with a good shot by ending up in a slightly better rough. The greens had literal bunkers on them. It sounded like playing on a baseball field

The greens are the worst I have ever played on. Some greens are nothing but dirt. Course needs to be closed until they can get the grass growing again. There is just a general lack of maintenance. Bunkers full of weeds and parts not mowed. Will not go back. 0 stars if I could.

The young lady in the clubhouse was the only positive thing about my experience here today. I had a raincheck for 9 and paid for 9, after I paid she told me only the front was open, they were still trying to catch up on the grass. I said that is what they told me 2 weeks ago, how long does it take to cut the grass and with no rain in weeks? So I intended to play front twice but tee boxes were like concrete and couldn’t get a tee in without a hammer, I guess they never get watered. Most of the 9 greens were absolutely horrible. The greens were not just dead for the most part, they were horrendous, full of low spots and holes as though they never try to fill them and smooth them out and water them. This could be such a nice, challenging course but I don’t know what’s going on. So I got another raincheck for 9 but I don’t know if it’s even worth trying to go back and collect on it. Really sad that this area has so many below average golf courses.

Nicely remodeled clubhouse, course could stand some work, putting greens closed-deplorable condition. Fee for driving range $6 per page, 60 per bag...
