Nice layout

Tee boxes and fairways were in poor shape. Rough had dead grass clumps. Was wet from rain but the clumps were from a previous mowing and brown. Overall very disappointing. Greens were ok.

Almost vanilla

Nice guy in the club house. No players on the course. Unfriendly group in the grille. Too much crabgrass. Looks like it was a good track back in the day but clearly needs some maintenance. Better options to choose from

Not worth the money

The course was OK, but not really maintained very well. i would recommend it for $20.00 not $40.00.
