Course was fun. Lots of narrow fairways so don’t plan on hitting driver all day. Greens weren’t the best but it’s 105 degrees every day so I understand. Would play again

Has potential

Not the best experience after a major overnight rainstorm. Cart path only makes for a very trying round. Course is deceptively long so we moved up a set of tees on the back nine and it was more enjoyable after that. Thought the greens were a little strange. Cut pretty tight and rolled pretty good but doesn’t look very asthetic don’t know what the answer is but looks like they need to grow in and then cut them down. A lot of spaces between grass blades. I’m not a geologist but think one should see grass not dirt on a green. Js overall was glad to play there.

Mud flaps required

Track is the same thin grass fairways and mixed grass greens. Layout is great with exception of a bunch of trees that need trimming along fairways on front 9. Back 9 is more accessible and much more fun than front but the greens are worse than the front. It rained the night before so every bunker was a free drop from the pond of water in each. Cart paths were covered in standing water or a mud slide. Had to wash my bag when I got home. Staff as always laid back and friendly. Wish the had a menu listing over the bar showing what is available. This course could be so much more if it had a little love and money put back into it.
If JB corp wants a two year course improvement plan give me a call. Have chainsaw for step one. Grass in fairways step two, fix bunker drainage, remove and replace greens with 1 type of grass, cart path renovation. For the time being get a cement mixer put sand fertilizer and grass seed together and fill your divot dispensers on the cart with mixture so players can start reseeding the fairways while they play.

Nice layout

The staff was friendly, course was pretty narrow, greens were soft and slow, but not bumpy. The "sand traps" were filled with dirt and muddy though we have not had rain in awhile.
We.had a foursome in front of us playing some kind of scramble, but they ended up backing up probably 5 groups behind us as we never were allowed to play through though they had more than a hole open in front of them and we never saw a marshall.

I was impressed with the nice fairways…

From the moment we teed off, to the final putt, this course was a definitely a winner! It was cart path only, we were told they had received 6 inches of rain the day before. We played 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours. Front nine has 4 par 4’s that play a little narrow. Back nine plays easier of the tee box than the front side. True lies on all fairways, ball just sits up. Greens, putts rolled so smooth. This course is definitely maintained well…and we will be back to enjoy another golf outing.
