Had a wonderful time yesterday. Was a bit worried after reading the reviews, but this is a playable course that will challenge you and make you think before hitting the ball. If you want a simple game, you may not find it here. Driving range and chipping green were slightly out of repair, but they got the job done (main reason rating is a 4 in batted of a 5). Price was very reasonable (used a groupon) and the staff was super friendly. Honestly, thanks guys for a nice challenging round of golf. We really enjoyed it.
The course is very challenging. Started off with 4 pars then... we hit a dog leg left... perfect tee shot, pitch on the green and.... 12 put. That's is right, some of these greens are so slanted, the have no choice other than to put the hole on the side of the hill. My first put missed the hole 2 inches right and 12 inches by, stopped, then proceeded to roll back past where I was (15 feet). They need to have that green and several others redesigned to be better suited for golf. There are also several tee boxes that need major work as they are merely compacted sand. Additionally, they need to invest in better maintenance equipment as the green mower cuts uneven and digs in in certain places...although this may be due to the severity of slope on such greens noticed. Oh, and the cart paths are in need of almost a complete renovation. The reason I give it 2 stars and not one....the price. ... paid $25 for 18 riding. Come on Virginia, sell the course to me and I will get it back to its full glory.
Play this course while you can!! This is an insanely fun course, and one of my favorites I have ever played. Is is super challenging. The only downside is that they obviously do not have the budget to maintain it to a high standard, but is still a great experience. It is also very affordable (18 holes in the afternoon for $25 including cart rental). This would be a really bad course for a beginner. Sadly I read that the country is probably going to close it soon. If you like challenging golf and a unique experience, play it while you can!!
