Had a very enjoyable round. Greens were in very good shape. Fairways were descent. Looks like they are doing some beautification projects in several places removing some trees.
Checking went smooth. Even let us tee off early to beat the rain that was coming. I will play he again.

Greens aerated

The greens had been aerated a couple of weeks ago and the greens had not fully healed from it. Greens rolled fairly good, should be great once fully healed. Wish I would have known, before I went about the recent aeration. But I got it on a hot deal for 10 bucks. ..well worth that with cart.

Great bang for your buck

Nice course with great fairways and greens, but tall thick green grass makes the rough difficult to get out of for a challenge if you can't keep it straight.

duffster

Course is a good value for the money. That being said, the course conditions were poor. Fairways were not mowed and the greens did not run pure. Needed to be cut and rolled. I have played plenty of courses in the area and would not play here if the price wasn't so cheap. Just overall poor maintenance of the course. The course could be so much more.

Not worth the $10

Conditions were horrible. It was impossible to distinguish between the fairways and the rough. There is no drainage on the course and it was still flooded from a storm that came through 3 days prior. Every swing left you with mud all over yourself and the club.

Not bad for mid-January golf

Coming from the snowbelt in Pennsylvania, it's nice to be able to now play golf in January! I will say that this is your typical "muni"-type course. Nothing fancy condition-wise, even when playing in mid-season (I've played Cardinal CC both during the season, August/Sept, and now it what I'd call the "off season"). Wish tee boxes were seeded with a better quality grass and manicured better, that would add a lot to the course in my eyes. The layout is good, as it always is. But it's the things like tee boxes that keeps me guessing and to be honest, keeps me away at times. Again, the pricing is reasonable, the course has easy holes up to tough holes, but the teeing ground just leaves you scratching your head at times. Some teeing grounds are chewed up and hardpan or patchy grass, where others have grass that is near-rough length. Wish they'd tweak this one area, as it's my lone complaint about Cardinal CC.

a great course to play.

A great course to play. The fairways are very tight and long, especially from the blue tees! The greens are in great condition,. The fairway is well maintained. This is a great course to play and a great place to work on our game.

Good Course

A challanging but fair course with consistant greens and tight fairways. Tee boxes needed cutting due to large amounts of rain recently I assume.
