A little rough

A lot of the fairways were rough and looked about the same as the rough. Most of the greens were a little long and slow, and a few had damaged areas which couldn't be putted on.
In defense of the course, the last couple of years have been tough on it due to a broken irrigation system, which is now fixed. It's a work in process and still not a bad course to play especially during the week days.

Course Condition

The Course is in the worse shape I have ever seen it. I will not play it again until it makes a lot of improvements. I would not play it in the condition it is in now for ten dollars even that how poor the conditions are.

Awful condition

Fairway landing areas are devoid of grass. Some greens are so diseased and pitted they are unplayable. None of the bunkers have sand in them. This course needs a lot of work.

Greens in rough shape

The greens had dead spots on them and instead of putting the holes in a spot that wouldn't be affected by them they had them right by it

Decent shape for November

For the money it's a good course to play, the greens are still a bit rough especially on the back 9. The fairways and rough are pretty much the same, but over all the price point and fact you can play 18 in 3 hours makes it a good value and we had a great time playing . The staff is great and great food available.

Some greens are messed up (mowers) and sand traps are poor (you might save a lot of money by letting the sand traps become green traps and just mow them. Everything else was good.

Elks

The course does not play long. We played from the blue tees and it’s about what you would get plain white tees at longer golf courses. It’s a simple layout, but a challenge with water trees and will place bunkers. It will give you a good round of golf, and test you if you venture off the fairways.
