Lied to

Always allowed to play alone. Was forced to pair without consent and told I would slow pace as a 80 golfer from the tips. Understandably she doesn’t have to believe me but either way I paid and I was not refunded and she forced me to cancel.

Best Condition It’s Ever Been In!

Been playing here for 3 years and yesterday was the best condition I’ve ever seen the course. The greens were fantastic, grass in the fairways and we finished our round in 4 hours 15 minutes. Go play here now!

Effort showing

The course maintenance has improved with the good weather.
I’m not sure they realize we review the tee boxes and greens.

Played this course many times, and enjoy the layout. It’s been awhile since I last played here, but the condition of the course was the worst that I have experienced there. Perhaps due to the drought conditions this past year, but grass was sparse on the tee boxes and in the fairways. Grass on greens was fine, but it appeared that they hadn’t been rolled in a while. Wasn’t much product in the clubhouse so that may be a reflection of the current Management company’s investment in the Course.

Fun filled golf day

I joined up with the Marshall and his wife. We had a good time playing golf that day. Like usual, I always joined up with nice random golfers.

A little pricey and just okay.

Course conditions were disappointing. I’d heard this from friends but wanted to try for myself. Most holes had too much dirt in the fairways. This affects one’s techniques and swings as we compensate for there being no grass in these spots.

For the price, I would expect better. I really appreciate the location and setting. The food in the cafe, however, was excellent. Only one guy managing that area but he did his best, which was good.

If the course had ways for players to preorder from the eight or so hole, one could just pick up and keep going. Hungry players slow the pace down when having to wait for food. Also, consider a runner to bring us the food when it’s ready?

I will try this again I’m a few months. Hopefully, course conditions will have improved. When they do, I’ll definitely recommend FC to friends.
