Very poor conditions at this course

All the Tee boxes were in terrible condition no grass at all in almost everyone, when teeing up the ball on the one's that had grass, the grass is so high that it's above the ball. you hit grass before the ball!!!
The fairways were so- so but the first cut was too high, had a lot of trouble finding the ball.
The greens were aerated and nobody say a word that the were being aerated.
Pace of play was very slow. constant waiting on almost every hole.
Overall a terrible experience.

No mention of Greens just plugged!

Had I known that the greens were recently aerated I would’ve found another place to play

Great local muni

Have been playing course 30+ years, in great condition especially greens, tee boxes need work cart paths needs to be entirely replaced unless you like getting a very rough and tumble ride. Carts are getting a tad beat up and need replacing. For the hot deal price including cart excellent value, full rack rate is too high. Played in 4 hours with cart and pace of play was very good but only because of the golfers themselves, no rangers in sight.

Poor Maintenance

Place is just simply unkept. Tee boxes all dirt, little to no grass, and poor maintenance throughout. What used to be the best SI course, current conditions knock it to the lowest now.

Overpriced

Very high price $76.50 for 18 holes
That’s ridiculous !
For a 5-1/2 hour round of golf
Not even a ball washer in sight! Anywhere

Sorry but 4 min tee times don’t work

Course in ok condition

Major problem was the hornets! Couldn’t finish a couple holes because of the hornet swarms on the greens.
Surely they’d spray the course

Disappointing.

Staff was GREAT. Pro shop staff and starters at 1st tee were friendly , helpful , and professional. A++
Unfortunately that was it. The course conditions were HORRIBLE!!! 2-3 greens were u playable due to swarms of hornets/wasps. We couldn’t even get near the green. UNACCEPTABLE!!! The t boxes were not cut, cart paths resembled a NYC street full of potholes, and the bunkers were UNPLAYABLE!!!! Whenever I hit into one I took a drop on the rough.
This was one of my favorite courses to play BUT
NOT ANY MORE!!!!! Back in the day this place was immaculate. I paid $30 but the conditions didn’t even warrant that much. Save your $$$$ and go elsewhere.
DISAPPOINTING!!!!!

Fun course to play

I enjoy the layout. A couple short par 4s and a longer par 3. Good balance of open and tight. Some challenging spots. Greens are pretty fair and reads are reasonable. Played really early so the pace was good. Can’t wait to play here again!
