Very disappointed..Course in poor condition..Tee boxes,fairways,and greens in poor condition..For this time in the year, it's disgraceful that the course is in such poor condition...Not worth the cost of green fees being charged...the staff is very cordial and the facilities fair..

Based on it’s current condition this course should be closed. I can’t believe they continue to charge green fees to play this cow pasture. I have been playing golf for over 40 years and have never seen a course as bad as this.

Course needs an overhaul

This course appears to have been sadly neglected. The tee boxes are very poor. The fairways are challenging but also in poor shape (hard to find grass in some spots. The sand traps have no racks. The greens are very poor - weedy, bumpy, not properly cut and also many areas of no grass at all. If I make another report like this I take pictures next time.

Refund?

Greens were in terrible condition. Like, wrong type of grass, bad condition. We could only play the back 9 while the front was getting “re-seeded”. They need to changed completely. Also, fire ants all over tee boxes, so don’t think about taking time to figure out a shot shape. You’ll be getting eaten. Honestly, this course shot not be listed until it goes through serious renovation. Finally, I get it, the ranger finally got to see people out there playing. However, the fact that he watched us play just reinforces the narrative of no one putting much work into the course.

Rough greens

Greens were like a driving range. Tee boxes uncut. Not one stars because you could get a few extra shots in at every hole. Seems like they are trying to tank the course.

Don’t do it

Fairways were all kinds of tore up. Tons of divots too. Looks like the course hasn’t been kept up in a while. 2nd home was all dug up with a big dirt mound in the middle. Greens were horrendous! Holes, dirt, long grass on ALL greens. Could not read the greens at all, nothing was consistent. Long grass along all hazards, Weedeater coulda been used a lot. Should be about $10/round. I guess it’s not a bad course for beginners? Friendly pro shop employee, ok food at the restaurant attached. Saw a couple gators and turkey running around, that part was cool.

The loss of a fun course.

I haven't played it since they shut down. I called and was told the had 9 holes open 1 & 2, 11-18.
You would think with all the rain we have had grass would have grown. It might help if they invested in some seed for one. I
I played 3 holes thinking it would get better. It did not. It's sad the difference a few years make.

Course is gone.

We’ve watched this course slowly go downhill but after playing today I’d have to say they are probably going to be closing it down. The greens were so bad, they put holes in the fairway 20 yards in front of the green. We were actually putting on the fairways. The tee boxes were completely gone. What a mess. So sad to see it gone.

Good for the money.

A lot went into this course to make improvements over the past year but unfortunately the wild boars are back and tearing up the course again. I really hope they get this under control. They need to get rid of the boars food source by treating the grounds. Staff and price are terrific. Hopefully they can stop the boars!!

Good Day of Golf

This was our first time at this course - The staff was very friendly and helpful - We were given a "cheat sheet" with a description of each hole to help us navigate the course - It was appreciated and keep us out of some unseen hazards ! The course was very dry and some greens were really bad .... but overall we had a great day on the course - We will probably be back ... The 19th hole beverage specials are great !!
