Cheap price for a cheap course

Fairways and greens are in rough shape. No restrooms except a few portopoties. Water/ponds on the course need to be cleaned they are very green and don’t look as if they are circulating at all. It was my understand this used to be a highly rated golf course but playing it I don’t see that at all

Good course fora comeback round

I have not golfed for 18 months due to some health issues. This course helped me ease back into the 'swing' of things. Pretty much a straightforward course.

Fun, but could be better

The layout of the course is fun, but the amenities are lacking and the range balls are terrible.

Every time I play there, I really do want to support the course as it's local and I can play the round pretty quickly. It helps with short game and great for family golf.

But you can't get past how dried out the course is, the lakes are all dried out or some have a ton of green stuff growing. The grounds crew is always weed whacking something, but really what? There really isn't any grass. They need to really till the turf and lay down more seed or sod in so many places, as it's just dirt.

The lay out is fun, as you can hit so many different irons and wedges and some par-4s where you can hit driver or fairway wood if you wanted.

Please get a team that can really fix this up better.

We enjoyed this course, opportunities to use lots of clubs. A Hole in One on #6- very exciting for someone golfing less than a year

You get what you pay for

I believe that in its heyday, this was a fun and challenging executive course. As it stands now, it is really only playable if you can stay on the fairways, which are not in good shape either. The greens look great from afar, but upon reaching them they are like a a crown of broccoli to play on, and I mean that literally. The ball cannot stay down, on a putt and a chip may land and literally die on the spot. I played first thing on a Sunday and finished in 2.5 hours, so the pace was great, and if you don’t score your round and just want to play for fun it can be worth the $30. If you are serious about your play and get frustrated easily, don’t play this course. By the way, gopher hole on first green attached!

Great for new golfers

If you’re new or with new golfers, this is a non-intimidating experience. Good and seasoned golfers would recognize that it lacks in certain areas. But for newbies, good course.

POOR CONDITION AND OVERPRICED

AL USED TO BE A DECENT AND FUN COURSE, BUT NOT NOW. TREES ARE GONE, FAIRWAYS ARE GREEN BUT HARD-PACKED, GREENS DO NOT ROLL WELL AND LAKES ARE MOSTLY DRY. BEST THING IS YOU WON'T LOSE MANY BALLS IN THE WATER BECAUSE THERE IS NOT MUCH LEFT. GOOD PLACE FOR BEGINNERS TO PLAY/PRACTICE BUT NOT MUCH ELSE. PRICE IS MUCH TOO HIGH FOR WHAT THEY OFFER.

Questionable staff

I use play here a lot before they closed down years ago, so I was excited to play it again after they reopen and this was going to be the first time. I booked a 5:45 (the second earliest tee time) to get a good jump on it. Got there 15 minutes and the place was a ghost town. 5:45 comes around and as we were getting in our cars to go play a different course, staff finally shows up. Needless to say we didn't stick around to see what the conditions were like.

Good, but not as great as earlier in the year

Great price, great pace and great layout; however, range was mats only and the greens needed to be mowed. This was unlike what it’s been in the past (last month for course, last week fir range). All in all, good.

Awful course

I would have rather putted in a cow pasture. The layout was okay, but the quality was just terrible, definitely not worth the $45. Also wanted to get a snack in the clubhouse(which is a trailer) but they ONLY had Payday candy bars. If could give it half a star, I would.

Tough Times have hit this place!

First off I understand you’re trying to get the course back together. But the greens were absolutely unacceptable. Course is not worth $42. And I was charged twice even after I was told I would not be. Gentleman was not there to check us in on time. end of the day I was charge $70 to play a nine dollar course. The staff were not helpful with exception of one gentleman. Without course knowledge don’t know where number 1P tee is. Tough. I’ve tried to call the golf course for a refund and the phone number that is provided from golf pass is not the correct number. Tough day best part of it I wasn’t working, but did almost fall when I saw that bridge if you played that of course you know what I’m talking about Tough day don’t mention the issues with staff at I start. He was right, I should have left when he said “good” when I suggested under my breath!
