Good round

Course is now a Troon managed course. Tees, fairways and greens all in good condition. Although cart access around the greens are very restricted. Prepare to walk some. I like the layout and scenic views.
Staff is friendly but no carts in parking lot which is awkward.
All in all one of my favorite courses in the area. Price is up over last year. Hope the price doesn't go up significantly with new management.

Quick 9

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Fairways, tees, and Greens were in good condition although fairly hard. Elevated greens lent to the difficulty to make up for the short course. Had a good round, enjoyable experience. Would play again

Short course

Not bad for a practice round. Greens where quick and most holes were very short. Some water but not an issue with minimal skill. Fairways and greens were very hard. Pace of play was pretty slow considering the lack of difficulty. Women at check in was pleasant. No other staff was present at the time. Would probably play again for a quick warm up.

Interesting course

This course says its 100 years old. Don't know if that's correct but it is mature. Tee boxes were a little hard on some holes, greens were good although a little slow. Had some undulations on them. Corse has several elevation changes which made it interesting. Bunkers were for the most part terrible. Sand hard.
Course was a little difficult to find without GPS, but worth the effort. Price was very good.

Nice round

Course overall better than last time I played two years ago. Rough nature areas were cut down but still hard to find ball in if you go in there. Greens were very slow but no bare spots as were fairways and tees. Can't take carts in parking lot which is a little inconvenient.
Staff was friendly but no beverage cart we saw. Course marking hole to hole was a little sketchy. Had to ask which way to go a couple of times. Beer selection in bar was just average and didn't have time to check out food, if any was available.

Disappointing

When I arrived no attendant at bag drop. Parking was very hard to find and no carts allowed in parking lot so had to carry clubs to bag drop where by then there was an attendant.
Course has way too many blind shots. Grass on non fairways was high. Greens were terrible. Carts were very poorly maintained no GPS. Cart paths were very bad condition in some spots and signage. for directions between holes was abysmal. Beverage cart was way overpriced for offerings. When finished there was no offer to transport my clubs to the car or even the bag drop area.
Standard rack rate is very high for what you get.

OK for what it is

Greens ok but not what you'd call good. Fairways were marginal with bare spots as was rough. Tees were pretty rough.

Good round

Greens, fairways, and tees all very good. Short course but a fun day. People friendly if not overly helpful. Food was good in limited selection, as was the beer.

Tricky little course

Greens were very good although some were slower than average. Course is tight with lots of resident knowledge needed to play well. Many elevated tees and you can get in trouble very easily. Bring your good short game, you'll need it.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the experience. Carrying the bag from the parking lot was a kind of negative, but all in all good day

About as expected

This could be a real nice course if maintained a little better. Greens were slow to inconsistent. Fairways and tees were OK but rough was almost nonexistent almost all bare dirt. People were friendly. Play was very slow and started late for no particular reason.

End of season

It's end of season and course shows it. Greens were not as fast as normal, but tees and fairways were fine but showing wear. This is always a fun course and enjoyed round. Bar was open with still good selection, food selection limited.as can be expected at this time of year.

Less than I expected

Course was just OK. Tees and fairways were average to good. Most greens in good shape, traps were poor (little sand). Cards had no GPS. Big issue for me, I had to give them a $5 deposit on cart key and forgot to go back and get it. I live 50 min. from course and probably will never get that back.

Course conditions not too good

Course was clearly under fall repair and pretty rough. Tee boxes were chopped up as were some fairways. Had problems with finding some holes as layout is kind of funny and lots of distance between holes in some cases. No GPS on carts. My personal GPS had major distance discrepancies in some places. No restaurant/bar etc. to het anything (machines only).
Challenging 18 but map on card is less than helpful as to where to land ball on fairway..

Great course

This is one of my favorite courses. Greens are always good, fairways are superb for a public course as are tee boxes and traps. No real negatives to this one. If I had one it would be the fact you can't book a cart on line and have to pay at counter for that, but not really a negative. Will certainly be back.

Carts and GPS pain in the A___

Hadn't played here for a couple of years because it was in such bad shape the last time. Now course is in pretty good shape. Big issues were did not get off on time. Had outing ahead and starts after were 30 plus minutes late getting off. Worst was information from club house was inaccurate and guy at counter gave me wrong course card which I didn't notice till I was on hole 2. Worse are the carts cutting off with no warning and for no good reason all over the course. No marking on course of issues no alert from GPS when it will happen until it does. Also annoying adds continually popping up on GPS and slow to respond from them.
Price was good, but will probably think twice before I book again.
