Do not play this course. The conditions are awful and they charged $35. I actually called a week before I played and explained that I was bringing a foursome from 500 miles away and I needed them to be honest with me and tell me the conditions of the course. I was told that it was in good shape and all the greens had recovered and were nice and there were two that were still recovering but would be fine by the weekend. Total lie. There was one decent green on the entire course and it was 18. The other 17 were nothing but dirt. I really don't know how the place is still in business, the carts were awful, with broken windshields and bald tires and could barely make it up the hills. I love the layout of the course, but it has had absolutely nothing put into it and I can't believe it is still open. Somebody needs to buy this course with the finances to bring it back, as Auburn really needs another public course and this is in a perfect location. I would have been fine if the gentleman I talked to when I made the tee time had said, we are still not in the best of shape, you should probably catch us later. I told him I didn't want to bring my buddies that far and play a bad course and have them upset with me. It's worse than a bad course, it's a cow pasture. Worse than that, we teed off at 8:30 on a Sunday morning, and the only people on the course (total of 6) were our foursome and the twosome in front of us. They held us up the entire day and never even acted like we were there. It took us 4 1/12 hours to play because of them. Do not waste your money, and do not play this "golf course". It's awful and they will tell you what you want to hear to get your money. I only hit the one star because there is not a zero.
I don't even know how to begin to write my frustration with what has happened to this course. I began playing the course when it first opened many years ago and it was once rated one of the best public courses by golf digest. But now, it is a total disgrace. The latest owner does what he does best, destroy property for greed. The greens are unplayable, you often have ankle high weeds in the tee boxes, the sand traps are dirt traps, the carts are trash, etc.. etc.. Now, they are turning the front nine into a housing project.. One of the best golf lay outs around is now being developed for greed. Too bad somebody who loves golf and had the resources could have bought this place earlier and actually brought it back to it's former quality. I would not give this course any stars if I could.
Pictures speak a thousand words so I'll let them help you make your decision. Greens were terrible and for the most part unplayable. We played on 11/17/17 (Friday) and we were 2 of 3 players in the morning. You drive through a cart graveyard at the turn, there was digging all over the course from old sprinkler systems I guess. The carts are extremely outdated. Definitely won't be coming back to this course. Not worth the $40 cost to play 18. If I could give it 0 stars I would.
