Hidden gem
The course was in good condition, greens were fast and smooth, fairways were full ( no bare spots) tee boxes actually had grass on them. Pace of play was very fast. I payed alone and got around 18 in 2 and a half hours. Teed off at 2pm. Rained early in the morning and there were some cancelation, abd was a bit windy, so I'm sure there were some no-shows. But overall was enjoyable.

Course in Pretty Good Shape
Played this course because of convenience to the house. Good condition. Greens ran well. Very windy the day we played, but will definitely revisit during the next several months.

Poor Greens
The course was in ok shape but the greens are in terrible condition. They had sodded multiple areas on the greens, they had sand on several and the condition was poor. I wouldn't recommend playing here until the greens are in better condition

Good day of golf
The course was pretty much in really good shape! A couple greens appeared to have been vandalized and under repair. Not the course’s fault obviously.

Great Course
The course was a bit rough, but not unusual for late in the season. It has been very busy and could use some TLC. It should be back in shape later this summer.
