Course has been in pretty good shape this year but it’s obvious they are not keeping up as they have been. It hasn’t rained much and there was no standing water anywhere yet the mowing was behind. Fairways looked to have been mowed recently but were mowed too high and you don’t get much roll out. Miss the fairways and you will be lucky to find your ball. Tee boxes were pitiful. Needed mowing and they need leveling bad. Some greens needed mowing shorter also. You could hammer a putt and still come up short.
I hope the bond issue passes and they refurbish the course and make it nicer. The National in Westlake and the course in Liberty are municipal courses and are way nicer and kept up. I will say it again, as many people that play golf around here, the cities or persons that own and run these local courses just don’t care.

This place is already sketchy enough with the area it’s in, and the experience was made even worse by a guy that was named after a damn fish(I’m pretty sure he’s the guy I recognized from the bowling alley that I absolutely hated). I was just trying to take my girlfriend golfing, but he kept us waiting 25 minutes and by the time he got to us, he was very rude. We ended up walking out and finding another golf course because we weren’t dealing with his attitude. I don’t know what his problem was, but it definitely ruined any chance of us coming back.

The gentleman working at the pro shop was nice. Tee time was 7:40 but we arrived at 7 to hit some practice balls. Found out that the range was closed since it hadn't been mowed. He allowed us to go ahead and tee off earlier. We found out very quickly that nothing else had been mowed. When you pipe one straight down the fairway and can't find it, you have a problem. If you're just off the green it's a chore to find the ball. If you miss the fairway you might as well kiss that ball good bye. It has great potential to be an awesome course, but doesn't seem like the City of Beaumont wants to put money into it. Hopefully something will change but the way the city works, I doubt it.
