The good: beautiful location, good t-box selections for all abilities., and greens rolled well. The bad: checked online for t-times, it said wide open. Got there and much to my surprise that info was wrong! Got sent out right away alone (no big deal - got lost after #2, went wrong way - no signs). Got to hole #4 and I got overrun by golfers who are starting in a shotgun start. Got pushed to hole #8 by a grizzly old-timer and somehow I was suppose to smile and say "sorry" like I cut infront of them or something. Fairways are terrible, so many empty spots. And I will give them a pass on all the mud because it has been very wet this springtime, but drainage in some areas seems inappropriate (top of hills)! I never got to play the 4 holes I missed nor will I go back to try them. But I played golf for the morning - 40 on back nine-, not sit in my offce; and that is a win!.

The course is coming around very nicely. Fairways & t-boxes are in good shape (already, for springtime). Greens need to be worked on (but getting much better) and from what I hear they are being airated shortly. The course is flat enough to walk, but long enough to challenge anyone from the whites. Staff is friendly, the food & drinks are reaonable, and the clubhouse large. My best suggestion, go play it, you will have a blast.

I had a beautiful day of golf on this course with two exceptions. Upon arriving and seeing only 6 cars in the parking lot I was assured I would have no problem getting out. The guy in the pro-shop quickly asked me if I had a tee-time. I said no, he said I should, I then stated from looking online the sheet was open for most of the morning, he agreed, but stated it is always best to call ahead of time to get a tee-time. Ok. Not sure why, but maybe this is why the place was empty. The course played well, the greens seemed fast from my memory (been over 20-years since I played there). On course it was fun and challenging. Except the 12th hole. You couldn't stop a ball on the green and the hole was in the upper back part of the green. Two of the greens keepers stood around and watched as I rolled 6 balls up to the hole, and right back off the green. Two of the balls actually hit the flag but didn't go in. It wasn't even funny, there is NOT way to play this hole as is. Beyond what seemed like wicked crazy fast greens the course was in good shape and it played well. On a side note, none of the bunkers have been raked in weeks and playing out of them not a lot of fun. Overall a good round of golf, I might just have to try it again soon.

The course is in wonderful condition. It is by far the best I have seen here in over 20-years. Fairways are full with plenty of room to land balls, the greens are rolling true, and the pace of play was good. Billy and his staff do a wonderful job with the clubhouse. Check it out, it is well worth finding.
