Very Dry & Bumpy

Other than the greens the course played very hard. It was uncomfortable to ride in a cart because the fairways were very bumpy.

The pace of play got slow on the back nine around the 13th hole.

The staff was friendly. Other than the conditions of the greens the rest of the course wasn't in good condition.

Vast improvement

Great improvement in the course itself. The greenskeeper is doing a fantastic job of bringing the fairways and greens back to some semblance of playable. The fairways still need a little more work, but they are unbelievable considering the way they were two years ago. My only beef was the cost was car prices have gone through the roof Walkin $35 which was fantastic but charging $22.each for a shared cart is a bit steep .. To the greenskeeper and maintenance staff great job .. keep up the good work ..

Green

The course was in great shape under new ownership. New carts! A work in progress… Was really hoping to buy lunch after… a bbq burger or sausage but I guess staff busy doing other things… beer could have been colder after a hot day!

Fairway conditions have improved, bunkers needed a lot of attention, greens were awfully slow & fuzzy starter was still lost in space.

Once Is Enough

Firstly, the folks I dealt with were very nice. Pro shop staff and starter were friendly and very accommodating.

Also can’t complain about $33 hot deal.

The course however left a bit to be desired. Greens were quite hard but rolled quite slow. I guess this was necessary because some of the pin locations were kind off silly. Pretty much every hole had huge slopes running right and left from the fairway. Quality tee shots down the middle rarely stayed on the short grass, routinely running into the rough. I guess playing and getting to know the course more would help, but there’s really nothing compelling to go back for.

Once was enough.

Course conditions were not great

The course needs to be better maintained. The layout and property has huge potential but the fairways and greens need a lot of attention. It is early in the year so I’ll try it again in a month or two to see if things improve.
