I'm guessing this was once a great course. The greens and most of the fairways were in pretty good shape, several of the tee boxes were severely lacking in green grass. They had done a little bit of aerating to try and bring them back, but it is going to take a bit more than that. The pro shop staff couldn't have cared less if we were there. Thankfully the cart girl was pleasant. At $75 it was worth it, but not sure how much more I'd spend than that as there are other courses I'd rather play for the money (i.e. Wild Rock, U-Ridge to name a couple). I'd give some of the conditions a pass after what was probably a very heavy couple of weeks with Ryder Cup traffic. I don't think the King would be happy to see how it looks now though.

Don't be fooled by my low rating of the conditions. It was early spring and nowhere near what I'm sure the normal conditions are. The conditions were really as to be expected for the time of year, I guess. The greens were recently aerated as well. Unfortunately I have yet to play here anytime other than spring, so I look forward to getting on later in the year when the conditions are likely much better.

The course is pretty short, but it is tight in the right spots to make it challenging enough for all. Could easily play with only hitting a few drivers if you're long enough. Most of the green are elevated and smaller with some good undulation. Even though the back nine is short with 4 par 3's, they are all different enough. Play the blues (remember, it isn't a long course) for some extra cool shots on the par 3's along the river. Beverage cart doesn't take cards, so bring your cash. The conditions were pretty average, but in a good way. If you're looking for Blackwolf Run grass, you won't get it; but it is certainly nothing that will disappoint 95% of the golfers. A few of the tee boxes were a little long for my liking, but still acceptable. The grass was in good shape and the greens were quick and also in good shape for being a little public track. We played in 3 hours, even with a couple of old codgers in front of us that wouldn't let us through.

I'd play here again if I was in the area and the price was right.

Course is in great late spring shape. aeration holes are just about gone. Only one bevie cart for the whole course, but we still saw her twice.

Don't miss the $49 shirt specials in the shop!

Nothing to complain about here. Course was in very good shape, except we had cart path only due to the rains the previous night. Staff was super friendly. We'll be back!

If only they could have turned the 30mph winds off....

Course was in great shape, except for the rock hard bunkers. Better off dropping it outside and taking the stroke.
