Need to fix these greens

Great layout and a really great course. But these greens are an issue. Unfortunate too, I think they spent a ton on new greens in the last two years.

Rough conditions

The layout is pretty fun, but a few of the greens are in rough shape. I enjoyed the course, but for the price there are better options in the area.

Entry level country club, nicest sand traps

You feel you have entered a golf country club at this course. Friendly staff, even a person offering to wash your clubs at the end of the round. The carts are computerized, if you like those. The round was a little more pricey, even at the discounted price. But apparently this did not discourage others from playing, since everyone was waiting in front and behind us throughout the round. Overall, well maintained, except a few greens the were pretty rough. Credits to having the most nicely maintained sand traps we have seen in the last couple of years, playing a variety of courses from Kentucky to North Carolina. And they have plenty of them along the fairway and the green. Fortunately, only landed in one on the fairway after a long drive. A seven iron got me close to the green.
