This course has so much potential, seriously this course could be one of the best in the state, and from what I’ve read and heard from friends they are improving the course conditions but some areas need work especially in regards to water drainage which leads to some muddy fairways and greens. The greens could use some more work as some spots are bald while the other end of the same green it’s a swamp. The fairways are pretty much the same way, but all in all it’s not bad just needs some more TLC, and I believe if they continue to improve the course the people will come, as golf seems to be enjoying a resurgence

Okay now to my biggest gripe, they no longer offer water on the course and charge a ridiculous $1 per water bottle fee, also there is no ball washers and sand to repair divots. The no water available thing really makes me angry as all courses I’ve been to offer water in some form or another. Apparently this is from the new supervisor. In short it’s far too hot to not at least offer water. Its really ridiculous. Also the snack bar was closed, which i understand because there was no one playing besides me and another group way ahead myself. I feel they should maybe add some vending machines that would be at least something. The bathrooms were nice and stocked and clean so no complaints there. My suggestion, at the very least bring back water on the course and ball washers. You do that and I bet your reviews would improve at least in that regard.

The layout is whats worth the play here, the Tom Doak design is truly beautiful and very very challenging that rewards good shots and makes you eat the bad ones, the elevated tee boxes were cool and the gps carts help you on all tee and approach shots. The layout is excellent and because no one else really was playing, the pace was perfect which allowed me to enjoy the scenery and wonder and dream of this course fully returning to it’s former glory which i imagine when it first opened must of been something to behold.

The staff was friendly and the guy that brought me the cart was cool, he went out of his way to bring me a bucket of ice for my cart cooler which was a nice touch.
I will play again and will recommend to friends but I will warn them ahead of time of the water situation.

Fix the greens, fairways and bunkers, and offer basic amenities for a good price and I promise this place will turn around.
