At this stage the Golf coarse is very much out of touch and would be typical of a muni owned coarse.
Goose waste several feet around the club house; over maintenance poor

Monday March madness golf

We were crazy to play today, between the soggy fairways and the cold wind it was not really fun. The goose poop was everywhere but that’s nothing new. The greens were in good condition when we finally made it to them. It can only get better and drier! Played pretty quickly which was great.

golf now 2 stars

I'm giving this a 2 star review because Golf now has emailed me 6 times asking for a review.

Service with Golf Now keeps going down, though the course is great.

Challenging course

This was a challenging course that I will definitely revisit in the summer when it is a little less wet. Enjoyed the geese and nature.

Great course. Too many geese.

I usually play The Great Blue at least 20 times per year. It is a great course in the summer time but the migration of geese to the property this time of year makes the course nearly unplayable. If not for the geese poop, the conditions of the fairways and greens were excellent for the middle of winter.
