Take It For What It Is

Look I know this is not the best course in terms of layout or pace of play. But I looked at it this way......if I want to get better as a golfer I am better off playing 18 here than banging balls on the range for an hour or two. From what I hear the course is really better than what it used to be so Kudos to the groundskeepers and staff. Greens were decent and the fairways were pretty well kept for a Muni course. If players simply replaced divots and repaired ball marks....would be even better. So for under $20.....close, easy and a good option. So take it for what it is.

Great Find

Really enjoyed this little 9 hole loop. Mostly flat but still challenging. Lots of severe doglegs and a long par 3. Harder than it looks. Great staff!!

Average Course But So Close to Being Good!

I was quite thrilled with the shape and quality of the greens. Usually public city course are pretty hammered. This course is great for what it is........an easy close course that is convenient to the City. I thought the course overall was in pretty good shape. It would be great to see some much needed work on the tee boxes. Some of them are either too hard to play off with little to no grass. With the greens being in such great shape it is a shame that the holes start with such a disappointment. But as I said......for what it is.....it is pretty cool.

Nice Course Decent Shape. Needs a Range!!

A Good solid course. Some challenging holes and course plays a bit tougher when the wind picks up. Greens were just punched but not bad considering. Would love to play it again when they are running right. I do not understand the amount of courses that do not have driving ranges to warm up. How can you play this game decently without warming up. So much extra land there at that facility......just don't get it. But decent course....will play again.

....Loved to Have Played it IN its day....which has passed

I could see this must have been a good to great course in its day. But the clubhouse tells you all you need to know when you drive up. In dire need of some funds and some attention. Golf course is much the same. Seems to be running on fumes/reputation and the course shows that. Tee Boxes full of weed and greens are just hammered. I cannot imagine what it costs to keep a place like this pristine.....and certainly the golfers playing there now are not helping with pace of play or etiquette, but alas. It is a sad state of affairs for where this sport is headed. If it gets bought or taken over I will head back....otherwise will not. Pace of play was very slow....not a ranger to be seen.
