always good

Have played here many, many times. Both courses have always been in fair to very good condition. The only problem I ever encounter is an occasional dry area where one must hit off a hardpan lie, but that is rare, and hey, it's golf, play the shot. Presently I would say the course is in very good condition. The only problem today was that the course we very wet in spots. I suppose it was being watered well so as not to lose the grass in the heat. Otherwise it was a good day.

Where's the marshall when you need him?

Normally the pace of play is ok but today there was a foursome of high handicappers slowing the whole course. They were 2 groups in front of me and I could easily see they were 3 holes behind the group in front of them and making no effort to pick up the pace. Very inconsiderate group and poor management of the course.

everything but the greens

This layout is pretty challenging, requiring reasonable tee shots, accurate approaches and good putting skill. As a 7 handicapper, I love the variety of holes and how they change depending on the hole position on the greens. Unfortunately, the normally great greens have been attacked by a fungus so the putts do not roll smoothly and the speed is hard to judge. They are not horrible, but not good either. Hopefully they will recover in the near future.

Great staff but declining conditions

Been playing here for 6 years and have watched the course slowly decline. The once excellent smooth and fast greens became slower and just ok. Recently though they unfortunately became infected with a fungus and are now moderately bumpy. The teeing grounds are more and more sloping and many tee blocks were set on very sloping areas. Really lame. The bunkers vary from concrete hard to bottomless soft so it's hard to know how to play them. The fairway are usually ok but suddenly there are lots of daisies making it hard to find one's ball. It's a shame that such a fine layout is now in poor condition.

seen better days

Putting greens were generally very good, but a few were a bit slower than the others and a had a mixture of grasses making them somewhat lumpy. Many tee boxes are no longer level so driving is challenging. Not awful, but needs leveling. The fairways were the main problem. Fairways and rough are cut properly, but the fairway grass is very sparse in many areas and my ball frequently rolled to the lowest point which was hardpan/dirt. If you don't mind bumping your ball in the fairway, there was also plenty of grass. Again, not awful, but needs more grass coverage.

holiday play

Pace of play was very slow on the front 9 as it was a holiday, Columbus Day. The greens were also a bit slow and slightly bumpy, but they were very good when I played there 2 days before.

paid full price for less than good conditions

the grass on the fairways and around the greens was sparse. my ball kept ending up sitting on hardpan dirt both on the fairways and around the the greens. the greens on a monday were slow and bumpy. needed too much luck to score so i quit keeping score. almost left after 9 holes but i was with friends. not super bad, but definitely poor for scoring. very disappointing.

typical muni conditions

fairways mostly ok, some dry areas, some areas need grass seeding, at least the daisys are cut down, greens were decent but could be faster.

good muni

Generally the course conditions were good. There were some wet spots in the fairways, but perhaps it's needed to keep the fairways lush as there is plenty of grass on the fairways and rough. The greens were very good on the front 9, smooth and fast, but the back nine was a little slower and slightly bumpy. Hard to adjust to the speed. But overall, the course is challenging, in good shape and recommended.

good condition

The course conditions were good, but play was a little slow and the woman in the pro shop was very rude and coarse because 2 of our players arrived only 10 min. before our tee time. Not good to arrive that late, but were only on deck, not on the tee. No reason to be snippy with pre-paid customers.

good conditions, friendly staff

the course was in good overall conditions, but a bit soft and wet for some reason. lots of watering I guess. The 2 ladies in the pro shop were very nice, as were the restaurant personnel.
