What’s up with the bunkers?

Normally this course is in decent shape, but I don’t know what is going on with the bunkers. Most are full of weeds and rocks. It seems like they have given up on maintaining them this year. Greens and fairways were in good shape, but a few of the tee boxes were pretty rough. I guess that is to be expected with the dry conditions we have had this year.

Incredible value

This course is a great deal on TeeOffs. Everything about it was nice,except maybe the traps, but ummm...don't hit it in them! No better value on this websitethan this place.

Course is in much better shape than it was earlier in the season. Pace of play is very very slow. It’s a good course to play if you get a Hot Deal. If the weather is bad it scares off a lot of the slowest players. On a nice day the slow play ruins the enjoyment of the round.

Neglected...

This course used to be in great shape...not anymore! Sandtraps are extinct and void of sand. Greens are getting pretty bombed out. Tee boxes are not good either. There wasn't a cart person this day. Then to top it off the 19th hole was closed. So, of that's okay, then have at it. Not to excited to get back anytime soon.

Going Downhill

Played on a Monday for $70. Not worth the cost of admission. Maybe for $40 I would play again. The course is in rough shape and going downhill. The sand traps lacked sand and instead had mud, stones, and weeds. The grass is spotty and weedy. All this and it took 5+ hours for a round. It will be a very long time till I return.

Okay conditions

The bunkers were hit or miss. A lot of the fairway bunkers should be marked as waste or ground under repair due to the vegetation growing in them. The greenside bunkers were fine for the most part. The greens were soft and average speed (lots of ball marks though). Overall the course conditions were pretty good (fairways were green considering the lack of rain).
