I’ll just put this picture of a random tee box here. If you want to pay to play at a course like this…fine. But this is what you get. That and a whole lot of cut down trees….everywhere. Patchy grass. Poor greens. Great news is you don’t need tees to play here, there’s plenty laying around for you to use. Also great news is my back quit hurting after one of the numerous bumps in the cart path launched me a foot off my seat (seriously, it actually quit hurting). If you ever wondered what it would be like to drop a golf course in the middle of a logging camp, great news here too…this is it! Hands down the poorest conditions I’ve ever played in. First and last time I’ll play this course.

I guess the bad reviews are from folks who think a cheap course is gonna have Augusta-like conditions. I use this course to PRACTICE. It is a fantastic course with zero pressure. Take a few shots from a green-side bunker or try a couple tee shots. I've played 4 balls myself for an entire round. You basically have the place to yourself. No one is gonna be standing behind you waiting on you. Yes, conditions are TERRIBLE, but this place is waaay better than going to the range. Just go in with the practice mindset and go play a real round somewhere else.

Might be the worst course I have ever seen. Tree work has demolished the course. Cart paths ruined. Greens are inconsistent and in horrible shape. No telling if you are in fairway or rough. Dead grass everywhere. Most peoples back yards have better grass then this.

Westport Golf Club offers a solid round of golf, but the course conditions were mixed, resulting in a three-star experience. The layout has potential but there are some noticeable maintenance issues that impacted the overall round.
The biggest drawback for the day was the state of the cart paths. They were significantly bumpy in many areas, making the ride around the course quite jarring and distracting from the game itself.
More critically, the greens were not very well maintained. They were inconsistent, had patches, and didn't roll true, which made putting a frustrating challenge. Improving the greens and the cart paths would drastically improve the playability and enjoyment of this course.
Overall, it's a decent spot for a casual round, but if you're looking for pristine conditions, you might want to wait until they address these maintenance concerns. Pretty good overall for the price of $45 though.

2 stars for the awesome old school clubhouse and staff! Do you want to play a course that looks like it’s been ravaged by a natural disaster? This is your course! Do you want to play a course that looks like a dog track/goat course? This is your course! Horrific fairways and bald tee boxes? This is your course! 100 points for cute semi-tame foxes on the back nine.
