conditions

I really like the course layout and variety of holes. the fairways are "blotchy", lots of thin bare spots. The greens could be good but there are a lot of inconsiderate golfers. The greens have too many unrepaired ball marks which ruin what could be excellent greens. The course is fun, there is a mix of really easy holes along with more difficult ones. With some more grass in fairways and repair of the greens this could be a good place to play. this used to be an excellent course to play

conditions of course

played last week, the greens were terrible. looks like they watered them 'cause there was more grass this time, but, greens are still bad--too many bald spots, and, many ball marks left by inconsiderate "golfers".
fairways still really bare. 90 degrees when I played and NO water in any of the water stands on the course and ball washers had little or no water

conditions of course

since greens being aerated they are filling in nicely, very true. some rough right next to fairways have been trimmed making it a little fairer for slightly offline shots. traps could use some work, some have too many rocks

conditions of course

haven't played here in a year--extremely disappointed. fairways and greens were pathetic. grass was thin and rare. only a couple of fairways had decent grass. greens were patchy with ball marks all over them. making a putt over 3 ft. was luck, less than 3 ft. still problematic. when I played this course in the past it was almost always in very good condition and enjoyable to play--not today. sad to see it this way

very good conditions greens are reasonably true some thin spots in fairways, but generally good am surprised the course doesn't get more play, but it is nice when it's not crowded--played 18 holes in a little less than 3 hrs

although recently aerated the greens were fair and reasonably true.
some of the rough close to the fairway was being cut so it wasn't so severe. thoroughly enjoyably round

a little rough

course played well except for rough. on most holes there is no intermediate rough before the higher thick stuff. being just slightly of the fairway can be quite penalizing as well as contributing to longer play time while looking for shots. in fact I lost 2 balls I hit thru the fairway into the rough and couldn't find them

easy to harder

course in good condition, greens true. front side good for scoring low, back side much harder. this is a good course for us old guys who don't hit it as far as we used to. if you are a long hitter and can stay in the fairway, it's an easier course. has some really "pretty: holes. fun to play

poor planning

Got paired up which was good. BUT we were sent off
about 3 holes after an outing had teed off. No prob-
lem with outings. I have played in many and know
they tend to be slow-everyone is having fun and not
so much worried about slow play. We caught up to the outing at the 6th hole. Took 31/4 hrs. to play 9.
When we went to 2nd 9 the outing was there. One
4some on green, one in fairway, and one on tee.WE QUIT. Went back to starter who wouldn't
let us go to another 9. With four 9s there was no reason we couldn't have, or even replay the 9 we just played(no one on first two holes). With 36 holes, to back players up behind an outing was ridiculous.

accuracy

Although quite short, tee shot accuracy is a must. A lot of creek crossings and marsh areas give the course some added difficulty. Some patchy spots
on greens, but overall they rolled true. Fun to play.
My only real complaint is there is no practice range.

superb greens

for a Sunday, pace was excellent. Fairways good but could
use cutting. Greens were true and fast. Pin positions made
putting an adventure.

better than expected

because of recent reviews I have seen, I was expecting a poor
course. Instead we had a pleasant experience. Some bare
spots on green, but overall and considering lack of rain, greens were not bad. slick but rolled true. Fairways were ok,
again considering lack of rain. Biggest problem with course is
the lack of consideration from players-divots not replaced, ball
marks not repaired. #14 still closed, thought it should be open

FAST greens

Course in excellent condition. Greens receptive, true but fast.
Wide fairways, but many doglegs, so placement a priority.
Because course is so open, would play well for any hdcp.,
plus it adds to speed of play

SLOW SLOW SLOW

Our 3some quit at #15 after 51/4 hrs. No starter. No marshall on course to control play. Fairways were in fair condition.
Greens looked good but were extremely hard and inconistent
from one to the next. I'm sure this contributed to the speed of
play because so much time was spent on them. The course
is reasonably easy. Have played this course one other time on
a weekday. Pace of play was slow then, too. 2some in 4 hrs.
But this time was ridiculous.
