used to be good.

No beers or cart girl or good at all. Front check in looks like he hates his job. It's really sad what happened to this place. The restaurant is also closed and there are no amenities at all. Save your money everyone as this place has been devastated.

Course in run down condtion

We played only because it had rained and fairways were turning green. Over priced for run down conditions with no sand in traps, bumpy tee boxes, weeds and Squirrels/ gophers all over the place

NOT FOR GOLFERS

I’ve never been on a course that you can tee up perfectly, smack it perfectly, and not find your ball in the middle of the fairway. No drinks, no food, nothing. Some old guy made snarky remarks about us returning the golf cart 10ft away instead of being nice.

Great layout but horrible conditions

The only thing on the screen on this course was the greens. Fairways and tee boxes we dead not dormant but dead grass and dirt. If they could water maintain and grow the course out it would be a terrific place to play.

Could be great

The course layout is awesome from the first tee through the 18th green. The signage for the 10th could be better but then when there is no grass on the tee boxes and the fairways are dead not dormant I mean dead that should be priority. The greens were decently maintained with a few repairs ongoing. This course needs some love the pros hop needs the basic of product to be sold there. This place could be awesome with the investment from management

Horrible course

The course was burnt to A crisp playing off of dirt definitely not maintained at all. The greens were really rough but the only spot that was a little Green there is so much dirt and debris on the whole entire golf course I couldn’t even see any of my golf balls lost a whole lot of balls due to holes dirt and debris after the tea box, don’t know where to hit the ball can’t see the fairways, how burnt and crisp everything is The worst course I’ve ever experienced in my life, had to deal with coyotes also on the course there are no markings on which T you’re teeing off even missed two holes didn’t know where to go to find the tea boxes overall chaos is that was my first and last time at this course will definitely not be back. Will not recommend it to anyone. Do not waste your time in playing this course.

You get what you pay for

I read the reviews and fully expected an experience to forget. Every review talked of no redeeming qualities. However, I showed up to a golf cart ready to go, one person in (should be condemned) the clubhouse and a starter begging for a conversation. That being said, the tees (long grass or bumpy) and fairways (gopher ridden) are absolute trash and would be better off bulldozing and flattening and starting over with new grass. Though the greens were more than respectable, given the rest of the course. They were somewhat slow, but consistently smooth and soft. At the price paid ($28) and given I brought my 5 year old, who wouldn’t know the difference from Torrey Pines, I was satisfied with the value. People need to stop expecting quality when you pay so little, stop being surprised by this place.

Course is ready to be condemned.

This course is beyond neglected. Fairways are dirt. Greens are not kept up. Not worth the time or money to play. Course has a nice layout however the neglect and conditions are terrible. Pro shop is empty.

Tee times available!!!

This is the only redeeming quality about this course. Completely empty, finished in 2.5hr starting at 3pm on Saturday. No living grass anywhere except the greens, and random long grass jungle oases that result from numerous water leaks. The design is pretty ok but the lack of all maintenance makes this a pretty sufferable experience…. Greens are extremely furry and bumpy, but at least they are alive. Only one employee that is in the pro shop and cart barn, etc etc. zero food/drink, a deserted resort right next to it. A surreal experience in SD county for sure.
