Before I get into the good and bad, I'll preface with the fact that this is a fun, easy, and convenient way to play golf. I've played here probably 50 times in the past 2 seasons. On the other hand, you will have to deal with some absolutely entitled and slow members who think they are someone important. I don't want to barrage this business with negativity but it seems necessary as I feel I've had enough and deserve to state my opinion. MCG has been my go-to for a while now and I believe I will be moving on and encourage my friends and family to do the same.
Pros
- The new on-site restaurant is excellent. The food has been exceptional and the staff is great and very friendly.
- The course is generally always in good shape no matter what time of year.
- The course is pretty easy and ideal for newer players.
- Social interaction is great. I've met some fantastic people while playing out here.
Cons
- No matter how many times I play here it seems the price is never the same and I always have to correct the price for my own sake (one staff member in particular). Be very careful and do your research on pricing so you don't get ripped off.
- This course costs $31 to play 9 holes with a cart ($34 on the weekends). I've played pretty much everywhere else in the local area and this course has no business charging that much to play (ex. Stadium is $60 for 18 holes and is a pristine course miles ahead of this place in quality and amenities).
- Be wary of the weekends. I've been stuck behind groups for almost 3 hours for 9 holes of golf. They were also rude and entitled when asking to play through.
- Blatant lying about the course being booked when it is not, or the last tee time was a few minutes before you walked into the clubhouse. I've physically watched the staff tell someone on the phone they are booked while still allowing walk-ons to tee off.
- Greens are generally slow flat and bumpy so it's tough to get a proper read on your putting.
- The golf carts are ancient and there are a few that don't work properly or have defects.
- Membership is a joke. I looked into it for this year and noticed that the membership fee is only for weekdays and doesn't include the cart.
I've tried to give this business the benefit of the doubt as it was convenient and worked out for a while. I'm fed up honestly and tired of the same nonsense. There is no reason the clubhouse should be closed before the advertised closing time posted in the clubhouse, on the internet, and on social media. This is a business that is surviving on convenience and luck. Not from good business practices and professionalism.
Yes. The course is in great shape. The rough is cut, the fairways are friendly and the greens are rolling nicely. It’s only open to the public through Saturday with a tournament scheduled for Sunday. However the restaurant vendor has already closed for the season. The course will be closed for the season on Monday. You should try to play Thursday through Saturday. You’ll be glad that you did.
Just visited but looks very clean
Terribly maintained course, rude workers who do not care about customers
Worst Father’s Day golf I have ever played. Berated by the 60 year proshop guy. Rushed to play every hole even with group in front of us.
Response: On hole 1 was asked if the four of us wanted our money back. Told to hit it and go? I am operations manager at a local golf course myself and would never treat customers that way. Also last year left a club on the course, called the next day and they have my Cleveland pitching wedge with the price sticker still on it, came back next day and they let someone else take my club that I called and claimed the day before out for a tournament? They never returned my club?
Played in a tournament there and the course was in great condition also the food and entertainment was excellent
My first time at this course. Only played 9 holes. Fairways are in great shape. Greens are still recovering from the winter like everywhere else. I will definitely go back and play 18. Staff we encountered were all very friendly and helpful.

Nice place,,stay out of the wet spots
I called to make a tee time one day cause I had gotten out of work early, and the employee at the pro shop was so rude I didn’t even want to continue on the phone with him
Interesting course, pretty. 9 holes with 2 sets of tees to make it an 18 hole course
Its a nice place to get a drink and see a band. The wait staff were very attentive and courteous.
Great 9 hole course. Very well kept and a fun place to play
