Great layout but everything else leaves much to be desired

The elevation changes on this course remind me of playing Southern Utah. It makes for a fun day when you couple this with wide open fairways and very few trees or water to create trouble even on wayward shots. You won't find a straight putt anywhere on the 18 greens so make sure you bring your A game. Overall a fun and somewhat challenging course. HOWEVER, everything else about this course is problematic. Every tee box was under repair and had virtually zero grass, the greens were in rough shape, there is NO DRIVING RANGE. Don't plan on walking this course even with a push cart. It's extremely hilly which is a huge part of it's charm. I will play again at some point. Hopefully they get their tee boxes and greens in much better shape by the time I play again.

Pace of play was slow. Waiting on every hole. Groups behind us were trying to drive in front of all the groups Waiting. Most t-boxes were in bad condition. Greens were dried out. Fairways were in decent condition. Staff was very friendly

Course needs some serious matinence

The tee boxes were the length of rough and the rough was way too long. Took forever to find my ball when it was greenside on hole 16 because the grass was so long. Couple things need to be addressed in order for me to go back.

Golf Pro Shop let 5 people play as a fivesome and this slowed the whole 18 hole game to 4:45 minutes.

Slightly overpriced

Morning round with high winds and wet conditions. Tee boxes are in horrible condition, with a couple being almost unplayable. Most if not all tee boxes are very shaggy and many have large dead spots. This seems like an issue that still hasn’t been addressed since last year. Ball washers have not been put out yet, which was very annoying for a muddy course. There are many areas on the course that are under repair, with significant amounts of ground dug up, exposing underground plumbing.

Course layout is very fun. The course does a great job of utilizing elevation changes to make for some fun holes. Greens and fairways were generally in good condition.

$50 for a weekday morning seems like a bit much for the current condition of the course.

Tee Boxes need work

I know it's early in the season but a number of the tee boxes were in horrible condition - with mostly dirt and some see and little grass. Greens were decent, not great but slightly better than average for this time of year. While the tee boxes didn't impact play, it did not make it very appealing. For the price I paid I could have played another course in the same town that I know is in much better condition.
