Additionally, some golfers note that the greens are small in size. Several reviewers mention that the fairways are not in great condition, with patches of very little grass and uneven tee boxes. While the staff is universally praised for being friendly and welcoming, the facility quality is rated as average at best, with some reviewers mentioning issues with the clubhouse and course conditions.
