Not worth the money.

Terrible condition for the money. Cart paths were horrible. They had a sister course that looked very nice but when we arrived we were told we were at the wrong course we're playing Maples. I see why now. It was certainly not worth what we paid for it.

Terrible course not worth 20$

No grass hardly any where. Greens ok but definitely not good. Worst course I have ever played. I stopped after 3.5 holes and they would only give me a rain check. Safe to say that I would never use it burned $65 bucks. Spend $45 more and play a better course. The Rees - Jones course was much better I thought this was a sister course. No way!

The course has an excellent layout and fun to play. The cart paths are in need of replacement. The fairways were nice, greens were choppy. The rough was hardpan.

Sad to see

My wife and I played and the first thing we noticed was that the parking lot was not very full, like it normally has been on our many visits to play. The pro shop was almost bare, and the bar and restaurant apparently have been closed. The course was in the worst condition we have ever seen on any course that we have played. We play a lot of golf and have played this course numerous times. It looks like they don't have a greens keeper. They were borderline unplayable with tons of weeds and huge bare spots. I think we counted three greens that were reasonably acceptable. The bunkers had not been raked and the mowing was inconsistent. When my wife went inside at the turn to get something to drink she was directed by the pro shop attendant to a drink machine since there was no longer a bar or restaurant. She mentioned the poor playing conditions and he said he had heard that. Typically when a golf course has some playability issues due to maintenance, bad weather, etc, the pro shop will let you know before you tee off and maybe even offer a discount . All in all, this was sad to see as we have included this course in our rotation for many years.

First and Last

This was my first time playing this course. I had high hopes of as I have played many of the courses directly adjacent to it. I was very disappointed in the conditions the greens were horrendous, scorched earth, all over in the fairways in the rough on the Greens. Tee boxes unkempt. Pace of play was fine but we were the first group out so I’m unsure how the pace usually is. Played another course the next day for a few more dollars and got much more enjoyment for the money. We won’t be back on this track as there are many others nearby that outshine it. Not sure about the other two courses on the complex, but this one’s pro shop was lacking. Not very good amenities. First and last time at the Maples Course.

Great value, excellent conditions

I played both the Maples and Jones courses this week for the first time in nearly a decade. Jones was an easy course with minimal challenges. The greens were in very poor condition, though having gone through a heat wave it isn’t a wonder why.

Maples was in excellent shape all the way through, it is an enjoyable course with enough challenging features to keep you honest, while not overly difficult for the average golfer. We were the first group out and finished the course in 3.5 hours. It looked a lot more crowded on the early holes as we were leaving, so get out early.
The only complaint was the absence of a driving range (under construction at the time) and the lack of beverage/snack cart/surprisingly underwhelming amount of balls/products at the pro shop. The maples pro shop is a satellite from the main shop, which had significantly more

Solid

Course was solid. Greens were a little slower than you would think. Some of the tee boxes had quite a bit of crab grass. Snack bar was very limited, no hot dogs?! Overall, not too bad. I would play here again.
