50/50

New owners have made improvements lately. Basically an executive type layout with plenty of par 3's, a few short par 4's and a finishing par 5. Greens were far better on the front side than on the back. Some overseeding, but nt as much as you would like. Compared to years ago, much improved although I miss the look of the ponds that had growth around them. Now they just look like sink holes filled with water. Worth a round when nothing else is available, but not something you might want to golf on a regular basis.

They have been over seeding And the course is looking much better. You can tell they have been working on the greens. There has been a great improvement so far this year.

Showing some good improvement

A few of the greens need attention. Most of the greens we pop once and then pick up our ball and move on. The fairways are looking a lot better.

Nice day

Golf was OK except for the condition of many of the greens. Seems they have some sort of disease and a few were in pretty bad condition. If they get the greens fixed I would rate the course as good.

I really enjoyed playing this course. It’s my number one go to. What would give it five stars and I know it is very difficult but the greens need to be improved somewhat and I understand you know that. Please don’t give up I have noticed a great improvement.

Looking so much better

The fairways have been over seeded and look great. Number eight green needs to be replaced. This is my personal favorite golf course to get your confidence back in your game. I see good things happening here don’t stop.
