Only thing I can say that needs a bit of work are the sand traps. Poor drainage and could use new sand. Great day though!

Great round to start the season. Course in great shape despite flooding rains the day before. Cart path only slowed pace of play, but that's to be expected.

Cart paths

The course layout and challenges are great. The cart paths are bone jaring. I know that the place is sold for housing development but put some stones in the holes. No sand in bunkers.

Meeds work

Owners should close this course if they aren’t going to put the money into it for upkeep. There’s no sand in any bunker. No tee markers for the forward tees. This used to be a nice course. Not anymore.

Great condition for the first of the year

The course was in great condition, considering it’s January 1. The only problem we had with the entire round was every bunker was full of water not a single bunker had sand in it.

Worst "bunkers" I ever saw.

Been playing golf for 43 years. Worst bunkers I ever saw. Not a speck of sand to be seen. Hard dirt and grass growing in the bunkers. Most were mini water hazards since they couldn't drain. Course design and layout was very good. But until the bunkers are fixed, just take a free drop.
