Improving…

I have been playing this course for several years now and it has had its ups and downs. It appears to be heading in the up direction again. The greens were soft and grttable and in better shape than other courses around for similar price point. They have fully turned over their cart fleet which is a big improvement and have made some upgrades to their water management systems. The fairways were not great but coming along. The “rough” was dry hard and terribly inconsistent. All in all it was a pleasant round and finished in 3hrs and 45mins which considering we were playing behind several full groups is really not bad at all. We waited several times, but it was not obnoxiously slow. I look forward to playing here again before the weather gets too ridiculously hot!

Typically Bad Ownership

This used to be a decent muni. Now, somehow the fairways are rock hard and full of weeds, or waterlogged and full of puddle – at the same time. It is 100% evident that if the course owners are spending any money at all on the course, they are spending the bare minimum to keep the course open. The cart paths are not only cracked but have 5-6 inch gaps in them or 5-6 inch jagged edge from soil erosion. Weeds are more common than grass.
The only redeeming feature of this course is that it allows beginners a place to paly without worrying about other golfers. This is a double-edged sword for the beginner because their good shots can end up in bad places because , for example, their isn’t enough grass in the fairway to stop a ball from rolling 40 yards into the water.
If you are looking for a place to take a beginner golfer, this place is decent. The pro shop and staff were very friendly and helpful – unfortunately they are not getting ay help from course ownership.

The WORST condition golf course I have ever played...

This is by far the worst golf course I've played in my life.. To compare this course to a cow pasture will be an insult to the cow pasture. You're either in the mud or hard pan. They should post a warning when you pull up as to how bad of shape this course is in, they really should be embarrassed by how they maintain it. The greens weren't terrible but they have moved the hole so many times you will be putting over an old hole location no matter where your ball is. The cart paths are in total disrepair and the fairways are full of holes. You will not get any roll due to the mud as they have watered it to the point there is mud holes everywhere and where it is dry it is hardpan. They do warn you that they don't have any water cans on the course but they also don't have any ball washers, so carry an extra towel with you to clean off the mud off of your ball. If I owned a home on this course I would be furious as it is dragging down the values. They advertise their course as being : "one of the cities best kept secrets." ...This is total garbage.

I cannot warn you enough DO NOT PLAY HERE! You will be disappointed.

Dirt or dead grass fairways

Only live grass we saw on the course was tee boxes greens or rough. Fairways were either dirt or dead grass on top of it. Won’t be back for a few months if at all this year. Course is in rough shape, but the greens were ok

Worst course ever

Never ever play this course, I’ve played golf for over 40 years and by far this is the worst condition golf course I’ve ever played. Beware all you are going to do is hit it off dirt.

Course was in "ok" shape, with some holes being a little worse than others. It was cart path only, which means you are walking! The course was pretty dry in some spots, and mud covered in others. Great value for this course! Will play again!
