Good value

First time playing at Westport. Older established course. Not very long however you do need to be mindful of your shot selection. Front nine needs work on their tee boxes and the greens. The back nine is in better shape. Need to aerate the greens and tee boxes. Could use someone to clean out and replace water in the ball washers. I would definitely come back and play however as it is.

Challenging

I started off missing a birdie putt on 1, was feeling good and expected an easy time of it. No such luck.

The course challenges with doglegs, traps, water and slope. It played tough.

Course could use some TLC, but it's playable. Tee boxes hard, some greens with crabgrass on the fringe and some fareways not groomed to par.

I'll be back.

Avoid this course

Poor conditions and layout. There are no long/normal holes on this course. Lots of 90 degree doglegs that make no sense for a normal golfer. Teeing off with a 7 iron to then take a full 3 wood to cover the remaining distance to the green…maybe if they reversed the direction of the course it would make more sense (250-280 to the turn; 180ish to the green).
The fairways are about the same quality as the first cut or even the rough at other similarly priced courses.
Nobody rakes their footprints in the traps or fixes their ball marks on the green.
This course is for the retired septuagenarian who has figured out how to play this nonsensical course with a hybrid 5 wood, an escape wedge, and a putter.

Don’t bother

This is a crabgrass local dogleg-without-though layout that will disappoint any actual golfer.

Could be better

This course is ok for the price. The cart paths are in bad shape. The tee boxes and entire course has ant hills you have to dodge. I’m talking a lot of ant hills!!

Needs maintenance help.

This course is not maintained at a pace that keeps up with other courses in my area. They need to hire additional staff to mow fairways and greens. There are many areas on the course that have last falls leaves. Disappointed to say the least!

Not the best conditions

If the price wasn’t on the less expensive side, I would have given this an overall less rating. Tee boxes were full of crab grass, greens looked good from a far, no real dirt spots, but seemed long and surprising slow. This is a hard course which is a positive in my review, makes you think, but conditions were not the best.

People working were completely rude. People in front of us had a late start and then we were told if we didn’t hurry up we would be made to skip a hole or leave the course when we were only on hole 5. Then we were stocked by the course marshal for the rest of the time. Course was in horrible shape. Basically played in sand (even though we didn’t land in bunkers). Weeds all over the course to where we couldn’t even find our golf ball in the fairway. Tee box’s had basically no grass and covered with broken tees.
Will not be going back ever.

Nice course, great value

I’m a pretty high handicap, and the narrow fairways were very challenging. The layout is fun. The greens were slooow but consistent and well maintained. The staff was VERY friendly I’ll definitely be back

Good times

Never written a review before and after reading all the negative almost backed out of playing here glad we didn’t
Staff were super friendly and the starter was awesome!!!!!
Played from the blue tees with no issues, white tees were beat up but expected with volume
Greens were slower but extremely consistent and in great condition if you like slower greens
Front nine was super tough, with having to play smart golf and the back plays more traditional
Great price and challenging course for sure
Actually shot worst score in a long long time as I am more of a grip it and rip it and this is not the course for that which is a good thing
Worth the trip and will be back !!!!!
