I arrived at 6:55 AM, checked the website, and it showed the pro shop as open. I walked in, said “good morning,” and the older white man inside immediately started yelling at me to get out because they “weren’t open.” No explanation — just instant hostility.
The way he spoke to me was flat-out racist. His tone, his attitude, and the disrespect were directed at me in a way that I do not believe for one second he would use toward a white golfer. It was clear who he thought didn’t belong there.
I only got the monthly membership to play with my friends, but after experiencing blatant racism on my first morning, I will not be renewing. This course needs to address the behavior they allow from their staff — because this is unacceptable.

What a wonderful course, especially considering it’s a public course with an enormous amount of play.
Right now, mid-October, the course is in the best shape I’ve ever seen it. Since the fairways are Bermuda grass, they do thin out in the winter and grow back in the spring, but they’re still playable, and by the middle of June they’re usually excellent. The greens are always exceptional, and they’ve re-done a number of tees with a different type of grass, and from what I’m told they will redo all of the tees.
There are no houses on the course, and once you tee off, you begin to wind your way back into the woods (especially on the back nine) and it’s a really nice round of golf.

I had the best golf experience today at the course on August 11, 2025. The greens were in mint condition, the fairways looked like they were also greens and bunkers works perfectly. I read some negative comments, but I highly recommend visiting the course again to see the difference. Congratulations to the staff who maintain the course.
