Much better courses in the area

First, the GolfNow information said that range balls were included, but the range was closed, and not noted in the description. The course is in very poor condition for this time of year. The greens look like they are in the process of being killed before being replaced, but I was informed they are not being replaced. There are extensive brown patches on every hole, shaggy t-boxes, bare spots and artificial grass tees on a couple of par 3's because the boxes are in such bad shape. The greens are really bad, many sections that have almost no grass, and they are rough. The balls do hold on the greens, but that is about the only positive thing to say.

I like the layout, it could be a very nice course, but the lack of upkeep means you can find far better values at other places.

If this is truly the best-maintained Fred Smith course, I will not be playing any of the others.
