Revisiting A Course From Youth

I played the Hawk a ton when I was a kid. The course has changed a bit since then, with trees more grown and a LOT more water but it was still fun to play. The weather wasn't great but the course was in decent shape (tees needed watered, greens were too firm). All in all, it was a good day and I had fun playing a course from my past!

Good course on a tough day

We had a good experience on a day that had EXTREMELY high winds. The greens were firm but mostly receptive. Fast but not too fast. The greens, tees, fairways and rough appeared to be all bent and in good condition. The bunkers were well maintained but there was WAY too much very soft sand towards the top, resulting in 3 completely plugged lies on shots that were not that bad. Overall, this was a great course (and I birdied the Par 6 18th hole!)

Course is hurting right now

We heard the course was okay but at this time it's not in great shape. Apparently they lost their greens last year and you can tell because they slice seeded them and they were only about 60%. Fairways were marginal. There are no tee markers to tell you what hole you are on. Outside of the 150 stake in the fairway, there are no yardage markers. There are no ball washers on the course. This course has potential but it needs time to recover from whatever happened and it needs a significant investment in basic on-course amenities.

Hello, Mike. Thanks for taking the time to review our course and we regret to hear that is was an unpleasant experience. Thank you for the positive review of our pace of play and layout. We're taking steps to improve the course conditions and hope that you'll consider playing our course again in the future.

A great course at a great value!

After playing Diamondback the day before, this was a VERY welcome change! This course was in good condition, had a great layout, was routed through a nice development, had wildlife and was well maintained. Due to rains it was pretty wet in some of the fairways and the greens were a bit shaggy (and slow) because they couldn't cut them but all in all we have nothing but good things to say!
