Shows it's age

The course was underwhelming in its appearance. I'm sure it had a hay day, just not today. The set up and layout could be a good challenge once the growing season peaks and the holes are manicured. Course care was very lax, and there are many many area's that are dilapidated.

Great shape

Their fairways and greens we're in excellent shape especially for early season. Greens and fairways are always in great shape at this course staff is friendly. It's a great place to play one of my favorites.

Some holes that are silly narrow but the greens were in good enough shape and very tiny. Got let through by multiple groups so pace of play was ideal. Lots done to accommodate a quick round by kind staff and other groups out on the course. The layout could be frustrating for a higher handicapper with issues spraying the ball off the tee who is trying to improve, but it’s a course that gets the job done when you need to get out and play some golf and aren’t picky about where or how well.
