No rain is a disaster for this course

We have had no rain and therefore the dry fairways are unplayable. Pray 🙏🏻 for some rain, this course is a gem.

Had a great time. First time out this year. Bunkers could have used some rakes. Not every sand trap or hole had one

Always solid, and SLOW

Great conditions, considering the time of year. Entirely too many people playing from the back tees.

Good course

I was not overly blown away but it was also a chilly, non manicured course due to it being winter. Loved the course layout but am also not the biggest fan of courses adjacent to the Lake. Views are gorgeous however since these courses are all geese sanctuaries that protect geese, there is an incredible amount poop to content with. An INCREDIBLE AMOUNT. I opt for inland or suburban courses.
