Presentation Is Everything

This course is near and dear to my heart as I practically lived there every weekend for many many years. I hadn't played it on awhile and wanted to see what shape it was in.
They've altered the original layout on a few holes, mostly for the better and have greatly improved the fairways and tee boxes. Greens are in good shape. The course was layed out by one of the great architects and as such plays very interestingly. You get a great golf course for an affordable price.
The downside to the experience is the downgrade to the pro shop (only a shadow of what it used to be), the enjoyable 19th Hole (hopefully only a temporary Covid casualty, and the presentation of the experience to the golfer. Xeroxed paper scorecards, tiny faded 8x10 corrugated plastic hole signs, no yardage markers at all on the course all led to a diminished experience even before the first tee.
It is my hope that some of this will be remedied in the post-Covid world. It feels like it wouldn't take very much to make this place appear great again.
