Poor experience…..

Overbooked, no starter, our time slot had two groups booked for the same exact time, on top of 8 minute tee times and rude staff made this experience underwhelming at best.

Great Course

Beautiful, long, links style course with plenty of challenges for any golfer. Was my second time playing in a week. First time I scored a 101, the second time, a 79. Played the course totally different once I knew the layout better. Definitely a shot makers course and would recommend leaving the driver in the bag if you have a hard slice or hook, though it was fairly open. Sand looks to be recently replaced. A few signs in the ground to guide you where the next hole would be helpful as the cart path is kinda all over the place. Nice views, great fairways and FAST tricky greens. I will definitely be back.

Tee's are embarrassing to golf

If you like hitting off tees with grass, look at other courses. By far the worst condition i have seen in years. Rest of the place was in decent shape... but what's the two things people remember most about a course? 1st the condition of the greens, 2nd the conditions of the tees. I play all over multiple times a week and never have a seen tee's this bad. New cart paths are nice though.

Good course, bad experience

Course is good for players of different levels and in good condition overall. Played there before early in the season with no complaints. However, despite requiring tee times, has at least a 10 minute wait at each hole. There were four groups waiting at some points. No one group was holding everyone up, just too many groups let out. We quit after 9 holes which took 3 1/2 hours. Would play again, just not on at a peak time.

Premium Fees. Blatant disregard for up keep in areas

This a challenging course. I haven't played they're much this year. They have raised their fees between five and eight dollars more than last year. I was disappointed to see that some of the tea boxes and especially the sand traps, or should I say Stone and weed traps, we're extremely disappointing. Fortunately I only went in them once. I don't understand how you can raise your fees on a golf course and not even put sand in your sand traps. See the pictures below.

Great Place to Play

The course was in fantastic shape. From the staff to the condition of the course you can’t beat it for the price. Even the pace of play was good for a Sunday in July. Andy and his team are doing a great job as always.

Nice greens, terrible sand traps

Play this course a few times a year. Like the layout. The sand traps were completely unplayable. Grass and weeds growing in every one of them.
It was so bad that we agreed to take a free lift.
The tees are also in bad shape although not as bad as the traps. Greens were very nice.
Slow play on a Sunday 4-1/2 hour round

Nice Course...Brutal Greens

Used to play here regularly. It has been a few years since last played. I don't remember so many of the greens being so difficult. You must stay pretty much directly below the hole or your score is going to blow up. Fun in some respects but extremely frustrating in others.

What happened to the course?

Man this place is in rough shape! Couple of the greens are torched, many of the tees are uneven and look like people are using shovels for clubs. Fairways are beat up. Place used to be in way better shape. Sorry but we won’t be back again.

It's in REALLY bad shape

This place seems to get worse and worse every year. Absolutely the worst course condition I've seen in the area this year. Theres not grass on the tees, no sand and seed to help grow them, Really bad condition fairways and greens. No sand in the bunkers. Its a real shame what this place has become over the years. Tree stumps everywhere that were cut down and they just left the stumps instead of grinding them and planting some grass seed?? Yea the new paved cart paths and parking lot are a nice touch... but id rather have dirt cart paths than dirt tees, fairways and greens. I think someone needs to remind them that seed + sand + water is how to grow grass... water your tees.
