Will Never Play Here Again

Waste of money. The entire course is just regular grass. The greens are regular grass / dirt. Unplayable. Maybe for $15 total with a cart I’d play just to work on hitting out of the rough the entire round.

Horrible care and conditions

The greens are at best like putting on an old rug, different height and different grasses. If grass at all. Most greens are unplayable and look like a sand trap on the actual green. The tee boxes match the sand traps from the greens too.
No food available or snacks at the turn at all.
We finally saw the refreshment cart literally 18.

For the care and condition of this course, the fee should only be $15 with a cart for 18 holes.

You will not be working on your putting at this course

Worst conditions ever

It’s hard to describe how bad of shape this course is in. There were weeds over 6 inches long on one of the greens and that wasn’t even one of the worst greens. Some of them had so much sand and dirt it was impossible to make a legit putt attempt. That they charge money to play on these conditions is borderline criminal.

Recent reviews are true

Conditions were a disgrace. Greens are shot. Tee boxes range from ok to bare dirt, to weeds as tall as the rough. Some fairways not mowed. Overall, a pretty decent layout but it need to be shut down and the greens repaired/replaced. Not worth paying a dime to play here as it is.

Don’t waste time or money

This place was able to accommodate 12 of us in the middle of the day on Fathers Day. There was a strong reason why. It’s in really bad shape. Greens are horrible (patches of sand and dirt throughout) and the fairway grass is cut the same length as the grass in my yard. Don’t waste your time.

Worst greens and tees I’ve ever experienced. Cool course layout and friendly staff. Invest more in greens and tees.

Loved the course but hate the condition.

The course is a perfect Wooden setting. Nice layout. Condition of the grass from tee to green were about the worst I have ever seen.

Nice terrain, awful maintenance.

I was very surprised at the slipshod level of care, considering the number of people who play the course. However, they are in a very accessible location to a large population.
