Don’t pick this

Half the greens are skinned muddy. Second hole had a sign to tell me to take a par and skip hole due to its conditions. I also booked via golf now. I got to the course and they didn’t have my info because they said they don’t use golf now. They told me I had to pay again and take it up with my bank.

Do not use with Golf Pass

They do not honor Golf Pass do not use them through Golf Pass. Greens were rough but nice course for beginners like myself who don't want to spend a lot of money.

Do not use Golf Now with them

The hey are not affiliated with Golf Now and did not honor my payment through the site. Had a tee time for 6:30 am no one showed up until 7 am and then told me I would have to pay double what Golf Now deal was. Course needs work greens are in horrible condition and hole 2 completely unavailable to play. DO NOT USE WITH GOLF NOW APP!!

Not registered to Golf Now

When we arrived at this course, we were informed they no longer are affiliated with Golf Now and did not have us booked. We had pre paid and they fit us in but it was an unpleasant experience with them. Please remove them from your website.

Just Dont

Played this on our way home from vacation. We were lied to by the staff from the moment we walked into the door. There is the only difference between the fairway and “rough” is nothing because it’s all the same height. We were warned the the greens were just punched but I think they meant somebody took a wedge and made craters in the greens. Would never recommend this course to anybody.

Worst Place to Date

Probably one of the worst golf courses I've played in a while..! Cost me $80 to play 18 holes($50 for the round and $30 in golf balls). They have 3-5in crab grass on the side of the fairway. So if you're not on the fairway, you'll probably lose that ball (even when playing with lime green balls) . Not to mention the hills and slopes they added you can hit a ball left and it will roll all the way to the right side, or hit over the hills and not know at all where that ball landed. Lastly, the "sand traps" are compacted hard dirt with weeds and grass growing in them. Our golf cart would back fire at every hill and jerk every time it started.

AWFUL

The fairways looked like the rough and the rough is a ball stealer. The greens were like putting while it’s pouring down raining (it was sunny outside and all the holes as doo) they don’t even take golf now

Maybe as a last resort….

If I don’t get sick from the chemicals being sprayed behind us on every hole or the black mold that was all over our cart, I’d be surprised. Very thankful that our 1980s golf cart made it through 17 holes. I say 17 because number 2 was out of commission. Very hilly, multiple blind tee shots, and could barely use a range finder due to course layout. It was overall just not an enjoyable experience.

Terrible course

Absolutely Terrible course. If you don’t hit fairway you won’t find your ball. Also the local rednecks apparently are entitled to this course and have no rules. I saw a Polaris side by side being used as a “golf cart”. We passed them once on hole 10 (they had 8 people golfing in a group) and skipped to hole 12. We got to hole 16, and they had jumped several holes and went to 16 and were on the green when I was on the fairway. They were rude. We had to skip 4 holes in total. Worst experience of my life.
