Hidden Gem

I enjoy playing this course; picturesque with some very nice holes. Some holes are challenging too but offers nice mix for beginners too.

Maybe my last time

The home of my first birdie when I started playing with my father at 12-13. Hole 5 with a 25 foot putt.
Reviews were good, and also figured things would be going downhill. Glad I did. Greens were fast and receptive. Overall in above average shape. Some Rain the night before made things slow.
Will probably play one mor time before it closes because I played like crap. I will truly miss playing here a couple times a year, but will always have a great memory of time spent with my father.

Swan song

I've never been a fan of this course, so kudos first. The greens were in EXCELLENT condition for this early in the year. Good clean rollouts and faster than other courses I've played. I don't know how they keep them so good in winter.

But I've never liked the layout as there are way too many trees (an artifact of the era is was built) with a lot of holes shoehorned into the space available. The course is closing at the end of 2022 as it's property was sold to the township who I was told would convert it to a public park. The ground may actually be better suited for that purpose.

Even so, I suggest anyone get out this year and play it for Old Times sake as it's fun and challenging enough to be worth the reasonable price.

Sad to hear course is closing.

Shame that yet another course is closing. This is a nice course but not in great shape since closing and imagine it will get worse through the year. Play if you get the chance.
