Conditions

Course in good shape.

Numerous tee boxes need attention

Sand belongs in a bunker not at a tee box

Otherwise acceptable playing conditions for my foursome.

No grill a disappointment.

Good Course, Good Value

Overall, the course is in pretty good shape. The layout is great. There is some good challenge there. It’s a mature course. The greens are very good. It could use some love and attention through. The sand in the sand traps are terrible, The cart paths are not in great shape. trees need to be trimmed and they could beautify with some flowers and bark mulch.

Conditions

Need rain badly. T boxes and a lot of the fairway just dirt. Green's in good shape. A little boring: fairways straight away without much water or bunker to worry about. A few holes are interesting and challenging. Staff was pleasant and helpful

Course in terrible condition, fairways too dry, dead turf and cut too short. Sand traps are concrete.
Ownership puts nothing back into the course, all the maintenance people do are cut down trees, unnecessarily, and cut the fairways three times per week. The pro shop is the only air conditioning zone in the clubhouse. It has been broken for over a year.

JDC

They raise fees for the season and don’t fix the course up. So much work needs to be done. Owners need to invest to make it worth playing. Sand traps suck, much of the cart paths need repairing and the buildings need work. DO SOMETHING OWNERS!!

Course conditions were only okay but not great

Fairways had many sandy/ bare areas . Some teeboxes were in bad shape with some having not much grass . The course needs quite a lot of work to improve the conditions.
