I like to play different courses as it adds variety and you can really find some hidden gems out there. Driving up to the course it is apparent that it is a nice course. The club house, chipping and putting greens, and driving range are all awesome. If you have never been to this course then it is important to note that you should arrive an hour before tee time. As part of your fees you get free use of the driving range to warm up. Everyone at the course was super friendly. Our starter Tom was on top of his game making sure to keep everyone spaced out to keep the pace of play. We did run into issues with groups both ahead of us and behind us around the turn and struggled on the back 9. It would help to see marshalls roaming the course to keep everything flowing.

Now for the actual course.
Tee Boxes: for the most part the tee boxes were good. There were several that were pretty beat up and left us searching for a good spot.

Fairways: pretty much every fairway was in great shape and if you stay on the fairway your day will be fine.

Greens: Unfortunately the greens are where this course lost its luster for me. Every single green from start to finish had so many divots that hadn’t been fixed that it made just about every putt impossible. For the money and the area this course is in you would expect the greens to be perfect, but to be honest it looked like they don’t care about the greens. It sucks when golfers don’t take care of their own divots but it sucks even more when the staff doesn’t care to cleanup and bring the greens back to perfect.

Hazards: This course can easily eat up several balls per hole if you are careful. The bunkers were all in good shape. Trees are a definite hazard on every hole and I’m sure in the fall they must look amazing. There is water in play on just about every hole. The creeks are pretty well hidden by over growth so it can be hard to spot. I personally wish the staff would clean up and show off the creeks as it’s a nice thing to see and hear the running water.

Overall this course would have been so much more enjoyable if the greens were in better shape. This course is about an hour drive for me. With drive time, cost, and overall look of the course I don’t think I will be going to this course again.
