This course is in very poor condition.

It's been two years since I last played Westport GC. It's sad to report that this course is lacking ground maintenance of any level. The tee boxes must get the name "tee box" from the dozens of broken tees lying in the grass-less divots. The fairways have more bare dirt spots then grass. The greens are overgrown, bare and weedy. What a disappointing waist of time and money to play this course. It's a shame because the layout is good.

Terrible

Please save you time and money, tee boxes were unlevel with absolutely no grass, greens had poana grass growing up through the greens in hundreds of spots. Tractor tire marks on several greens, there's no way you'll get a true roll on any green. Cart paths were so bad with roots growing up through them we had to drive on the fairways for a smooth ride. Numerous trees had fallen and just left there. We paid through golf now and it was $34 a piece. Playing there without GN is $44. I would not go back if it was free to play.

Investors Wanted

This layout and location is fantastic! Money was invested in the greens but they’ve already got weeds sprouting through.

I would love to see an investor come in and work on it. Clear trees and limbs that have died. Regrade and plant fairways. Create drainage and water management solutions. Repave cart paths. Bulldoze and build a proper clubhouse. The layout is so fun it just needs rebooted.

Leaves everywhere

I don’t mind playing this course in the spring/summer but winter golf on this course is frustrating. It’s extremely difficult to find your ball even if you hit the fairway because the leaves are everywhere. Some of the Tee Boxes that were covered in leaves and the majority of the fairways were full of leaves.

Prepare lose balls

I’ve played here many of time but this time was not acceptable. Leaves were everywhere. You hit a fairway and next thing you know your ball is hidden. Can’t find it.
I get that it’s fall and leaves fall but you have blowers driving around not doing much. Mow the leaves if the blower isn’t working.

WORST COURSE EVER PLAYED ON

Do not waste your time and money!!!!! Fairways are the equivalent of blocks of dry clay. Greens are the equivalent of putting on concrete. Useless landing a ball on them because they just bounce off like a basketball. Played 5 holes and left.

Greens Better Than Expected

Played today 10/5/23 and was pleasantly surprised by how nice the greens were. Fairways and some tee boxes could be improved but overall the course is vastly improved from just a few weeks ago.

Great layout and could be a great course with some TLC

My sons & I have played here several times over the last few years. Really nice layout but the last couple of times we played there it could have been in better shape. Greens were inconsistent and the fairways were in bad shape. If someone bought this & put some real money into maintaining it a bit better it could be one of the nicer courses in the area. I know it was Labor Day weekend but $40 per round was a bit steep considering the shape it was in.
