Greens are ROUGH, Literally.
Greens are not greens, they are overgrown rough.
Cant really count any shots after your approach shot. No driving range or warm up facilities.
Cheap for a reason.
Greens were gone.
It appeared were only ones on course. Played in 3 hours. Greens were punched some time ago. It appears as if grass is trying to grow only in punched holes resulting in parallel rows of small grass nodes a half inch apart. Played here many times before. This time was disappointing.
Help!!!!
Greens were in the worst condition ever. I felt like I was putting in my backyard.
This course was in terrible shape. The greens were recently plugged and grass was growing in little clumps scattered across the greens with sand in between. Gauging the speed of the putts was a nightmare. The best part of the whole day was having a sandwich and a beer at the turn in their grill. Evidently it is operated independently from the golf course. Food was really good. It’s a “Pittsburgh Steelers” bar and NFL fans pack it on name days.
Hidden Value
Great course. Friendly staff. Good value for the course. Hidden gem.
The best!
One of the best courses around with some of the friendliest staff. Would highly recommend to anyone that lives here or is visiting out of state.
Nice layout course seemingly on its last leg.
This course is a shell of its former self. It must be hard for them to compete with all the great courses in the area. It’s a shame becuase the layout is great, and the bar/restaraunt is great. It’s a good cheap option to play for recreational golf but if you want to play a better maintained course looked elsewhere.
Course is in terrible condition
Greens terrible, fairways muddy with tire track and ruts. Bridges falling apart. Dam broke. Don’t waste your time or money
