We go back about every 5 years, hoping things have improved. They have not. We went because we bought a Group Golfer voucher for $19.
Still operating from a trailer. Merchandise amounted to 2 hats and 2 towels. Golf cars were old and hesitated to start almost every time. Rain cover over clubs was tattered and moldy. Concrete cart paths were actually better than many where we play. Wooden bridges were in poor, bumpy condition. Areas between cars and fairways were just plain extraordinarily bumpy clay. Fairways weren't a whole lot better with numerous, large bare clay areas. Bunkers were woefully short of sand. Fairways had a whole lot of loose mowed grass on them. Same with the run-ups to the greens. The greens should have been swept, too. I recently saw a newspaper ad for the housing development. It included a comment about the beautiful 700 acre golf course. False advertising, in my opinion. Do a 'search' for this course and then click on 'web site.' There isn't one.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I won't play again, I wouldn't recommend this course, More than a field, but less than a golf course, Worse than average course for the area, Any price would be too much for this courses
