Eat before arriving

The golf course was under an hour frost delay but once we got out, the pace of play was good. With an hour delay, we discovered the snack bar/restaurant was not opening until 10:30, so we went offsite to get breakfast.
There was no wind and the temperatures warmed up to make it a great day. The course was in great shape overall and we will be back.

Good course and challenging

Good layout. Couple holes were blind as we had never played before. Wife and I paired up with a single and he plays there all the time so that helped us in length and direction etc. All in all a good experience.

Great Day on the Jones Course

Playing this course on vacation. I played as a single and got paired up with a member on the front and a snowbird on the back. These guys played the course multiple times and gave me great advice. The course in pretty good shape. There are some burned areas on some greens. Overall I would play here again. Thanks for a good time.

Solid course

Fairways and greens were in good shape. Greens rolled true and were a good speed. Tee boxes were mostly in good shape, some from the white trees weren’t level.

In spots, the rough was bare and sandy with lots of roots.

The cart paths need to be replaced, they are very bumpy.

The bunkers were ok, but people need to rake after they hit.

There has been a lot of construction right along the course. It has certainly changed since I first started playing this course.

I was pleased with the condition of the course and for $44, I thought it was a good value.
