Overall Rating: 1

• Has potential under new ownership. Want to buy a golf course.
• Midsouth Golf LLC is horrible.

“Following is a list of some of the conditions that exist: One course now closed. Weeds grown up knee high. Its a total loss. The remaining course is the highest priced in the area. Scorecard boxes at 2nd tee areas no longer useable. Sand boxes on tee areas for divot repair removed. Yardage signs with distances and shape of fairway paint weathered off, several signs missing, some have wrong whole numbers. Many trash baskets missing or lying on their sides because the bottoms have rusted out. Towels to dry off golf balls at ball washers missing or torn. Drinking fountains at bathrooms removed. Drinking water no long available on courses for purchase only. Sand bunkers drainage cloth on top of sand, poorly maintained, inferior sand, stones, edges broken down, weeds, poor drainage so often filled with water. Sufficient and useable rakes for sand traps are limited or missing. Computerized individual handicap labels discontinued fee increased $3.00. Limited pro-shop stock, primarily clothing. On course rangers/player assistants no longer available. Golf league use of either course except on alternate basis. Course closed on Monday and Tues. except for late afternoon twilight. Course bathrooms need cleaning, painting and repair. Rain checks no longer available. No full time golf pro. 150 yard markers on golf courses removed. Yard marks on cart path need repainting. Flags to locate holes on greens are now all the same color and hole. Placement is indicated by yellow plastic balls which are breaking or missing. Winter over seeding inconsistent. Weed control on golf course is not done or ineffective because weeds are out of control. Several areas of cart paths have been dug up for various reasons but not repaired. Pot holes on cart paths need repairing. When sprinkler heads are replaced metal distance markers are not replaced. Practice sand trap at HP removed. Practice putting green installed but cant be used. No more outside tournaments such as Sr. pharmacy, chamber of Commerce, invitational, hotel/golf packages, etc. (income producing). No holiday tournaments. No club championship tournament. No member guest tournament. The front of the restaurant appears over grown, dark and uninviting. Difficult to tell it is a restaurant. Tennis courts seem abandoned. Docks at Shoreline marina need repair because of rotted support beams. Dock electrical system in question.”
