Good par 3

Quite a wind the day we played. But we had fun. The push carts are in good condition. The course is easy to follow. But don’t golf on a windy day!

This is a great course for learning, very few hazards. We played there a lot when it was 20 a round but don’t feel that is worth 30 compared to courses such as Cimaron where you get 18 holes and a cart for 34 when joining the players club.

Overprotective ced for this short 9 hole course

Easy walkable course. Thought it was over priced for what it is. Played 18 holes in just over 2 hours…

Windy and wet

Almost didn’t honour our booking, tried to say they didn’t have a relationship with Tee Off or Golf Now even though my reservation was clearly on her screen. Glad I kept the confirmation on my phone. The course layout is OK, strong cross wind throughout the round. On the sixth hole tee box, some idiot turned on the fairway sprinklers, combined with the cross wind we got soaked. They did turn the sprinklers off after they realized where we were. Sprinklers were still on at the green so skipped that green. Overall experience wasn’t great, probably won’t go back.

Pathetic

The course is in terrible condition. We found out later that the scalping had begun. Why were they advertising on Golf Now when it was barely playable. The course layout is ridiculous you have to walk across greens to get to the next tee. It's a walk only with a handcart and the fairways arei n terrible condition, completely dry as if there's never been any watering. GolfNow should remove this course from their offerings.
