Review
The course was wet but playable,
A Ranger was needed to remind the golfers ahead of me to play intelligently especially don’t leave the carts on the fairway while they walk up to the green to play out, then walk back down holding up my play.

Dead trees & fairway leaves.
Why don't they remove the dead trees from the course? Also, blow leaves from fairways

Such a waste.

Shame to see how this course has gone
downhill. Bar and restaurant closed.
Last time for me at any price,

Tee boxes need work but are okay. Sometimes they are behind you from the green. Back-nine restroom was out-of-order and not mentioned by the pro-shop. Greens in good shape so that makes for an enjoyable round.

Beware Slow Players
Unfortunately there was a tournament type group in front of us (many foursomes) who slowed down everyone behind them. This is not normal here. Course in good shape as long as you stay in the fairways. Greens a little slow with their winter cut but rolling true.

Disappointed
Not a fun course, wet, not well maintained. Tee boxes were horrible. Not clear indicators of color of tee boxes or yardage. I would not play here again. I've played 200 different courses in past 4 years; this location was in my bottom 20. The clubhouse and golf shop were not welcoming. Clearly a 1980's course and housing development that has seen better days.
