Greens are in terrible shape, lots of bare dirt. Sand traps have grass growing in them, no sand to speak of. This course needs some attention badly, if it wasn't the ponly option at last minute I wouldn'r have played there.

Worst golf course I’ve played

This past Saturday a group of 5 of us travelled from out of state and booked a couple tee times for this course. By the time we got to the first green we knew we made a mistake, the condition of the green was the worst I’ve ever seen. Large patches of no grass on the green, grass clippings left all over the green.

We played 2 holes and was directed to the next hole and then found out we didn’t even play the correct hole. At this point the condition of the course was too much for us to stand and we left. First time I’ve ever left a round of golf early…. Really sad that our group travelled from out of state to be disappointed like this…

Just don't

Unless of course you're into sand traps on the greens and greens with inch long grass.
Probably the worst condition course I've ever played

Worst course ever!!!!

It was awful the worst condition for a golf course I’ve ever seen. The greens were horrible. Every single green was horrible. It was rough on the green sand bunkers on the green actually I don’t think you can call it a green.!!!! anyway, it was the worst course I have ever played on. I would never go back there again. and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone I know or anyone I don’t know for that matter.!!!!!!

Greens horrendous

The greens were an embarrassment. The was no grass on at least a 3rd of every green. If there was any green the balled was hopping hitting the weeds and bare spots on the greens. The sand traps didn't have any rakes.
Played in 3 hours which was great but the greens took away any putting.

Course has great features.

The greens were in tough shape but the rest of the course was good. Still had a good time playing this course and the staff were great as well.

Beyond Horrible

They should seriously close this course. It appears it hasn't been taken care of for many years. Unplayable greens, unkempt grass. They didn't even have rakes at the sand traps.
