Get what you pay

Anyone who knows or has played this course before, knows...you get what you pay. This is a course to mess aroudn on, have fun and play after work. The conditions are abysmal, and the greens are about as uneven as a plinko board. However, Golf Now does not inform you the course "closes" at 6:30. We took the last two tee times (4:52pm, and 5pm cause we had 6 players and didn't want to slow people down.

We flew through the first 9. After the first 9, the clubhouse called us in and made snarky comments about, "Not letting a 6 some out" where we explained...that's why we did the last two tee times. Also accused us of only playing for 9 holes, where we pointed out we paid for 18. He then said, good luck you have 10 minutes left. Since when do courses close before twilight? Again, Golf Now does not warn you about this course closing before twilight.

Course conditions were expected, the rather rude and strict cutoff times were a little disappointing. Even for a place like this.

Awful City Park

Quite possibly the worst course I ever played, this is like a city park with a poorly maintained golf course.

We were treated extremely poorly by an extremely rude gentleman that was running the course. I will never play this course again and will make sure none of my coworkers, customers or friends ever have the displeasure of making the same mistake.

Do not waste your money… wouldn’t play for free!

Course is highly negated and staff is rude. Needs a full makeover top to bottom. Back in the day it was a nice executive course and now it’s the worst course I’ve played ever.

Rough Greens

Fairways have improved but the greens are lacking grass in spots and they are very rough to put on. Bouncing ball!
