Improving

Very underrated golf course. Greens are nice and fairways have improved in last year. 1 or 2 goofy holes but all in all good place to play.
Staff is terrific !!!!

Great improvements

Course is in much better shape than 2023. The greens in general are much better, most tee boxes are improved, and the course and grounds are being improved daily. Thank you. Our third visit this season.

Sparse grass

Tee boxes mostly weeds, many not level. Fairways also sprace grass. Greens generally rolled well but extremely fast given the ‘quality’ of the grass. I could be a beautiful course but needs a lot of work on the tees, fairways and greens.

Lousy greens

Played it for last 8 years, about 10 total. Terrible greens, like concrete. Surprised and disappointed. Much too much money.

Dissapoint

We have played this course the last 7 years, about 9 times total. I have never seen the greens so horrible. Hard as concrete. For lots of rain in January the course was dry, but really bad greens. Totally surprised and disappointed.

Fast Greens

It’s a pretty tough course. The greens are protected and they roll really well.

This course is a good challenge.

Great layout- needs work

I have always loved this course design. The greens used to be pristine but they have been overtaken with invasive grass. New ownership has made improvements to the clubhouse but the course has been sadly neglected.

Nice place to play

We have played this course before. The layout is great and tees make it manageable for all level of player. We were a little disappointed with the conditions, although not so bad we would not return. It would have been nice to get a discount due to the conditions. :-)

Greens need work

Course needs some TLC pace of play was slow. Really needs to be about $15 cheaper since it’s in rough shape.
