I played this course the other day and all I have to say was what a joy it was. The staff was friendly, the bev cart girl was so nice. The golf course was so much fun. The greens were fast and rolling great. It's obviously transitioning grasses right now which looks weird but the playability was awesome. Fairways were firm and mowed at a nice height. I hit into one bunker on the course and it was like lower end courses bunkers. Hard compacted dirt. The tee boxes had lots of gopher damage. Overall I really enjoyed this course. Come check it out.
So I’ll preface this by saying the course during winter is fun to play. That said, avoid at all cost during the summer. $60 charge is criminal, it’s worth about $20. Last summer it was the same, I thought maybe it was a one time thing, wrong this summer was worse. Completely unkept, flooded range that’s unusable, dirt everywhere on the fairways. Greens that looked like they have a grader taking off the grass to leave just dirt strips everywhere. Flooded fairways on hole 10 with no warnings, “ruff” that hasn’t been cut in months that is at least 3 feet tall everywhere. Maintenance crew cutting grass by the green can’t be bothered to give you 20s to hit. Had a riding mower lady drive 5’ right behind me while trying to hit a ball from 10yards out. Only good thing was the pro shop staff was pleasant and happy to be there.
Played the course yesterday 5/31, first off the layout is good and a fun course to play but the condition of the course was terrible. The greens were pretty much unputtable half dead and crusty and bumpy areas around the greens was the same. Most tee boxes were in rough shape also, fairways were the only bright spot they were in decent to good shape. Even the water jugs on the course were left empty. Honestly not worth the $52 green fee.
Price was good for nine holes was 20 bucks with cart, but the course is in horrible shape. Rough hasn't been cut in months fairways have weeds growing in them, and the greens are like shag carpet. I played here last year and it was in way better shape. The new owners have allot of work to do.
The course layout is fine although most par 4’s and 5’s tend to be a little shorter than average. The biggest gripe is the greens. Terrible shape. They need a greens keeper and this would be a nice little course. The prairie dogs are nice to see
