The greens had been aerated about a week ago and have not quite recovered yet. Otherwise condition of the course was excellent.

First time I have played this course since the Pandemic. the Course is in very good shape. Greens are great, fast and weed free. Bunkers are not being raked as is common now - just give yourself a lie if you need one. I was in two bunkers during my round and didn''t need to take a lie in either case. We've had a fair amount of rain so the fairways and rough are all nice and green. This layout has a nice series of challenges for any golfer with multiple tees to suit your game. I usually try to play courses about 6000 yds. The White tees were fine for that ;purpose. Tne club house staff and on course staff have always been nice and friendlly whenever I play here. I got an Internet special of $20 for 18 holes with cart (plus $3.00 administrative fee) for an 11:40 AM tee time. That's a great price for this course and a real value.

I had avoided this course in Fall 2019 because I read it had lost many greens. I decided to give it a try yesterday during an unusually warm January afternoon and played the front nine (so this review is based on the front nine only). The greens and the rest of the course were in fine shape. They have fixed their greens Most traps were also in good shape - just a couple had some water drainage problems - but we have had a lot of rain over the prior 3-4 days. Overall the course was great and it is a fun place to play with an interesting and challenging layout..

I played The Challenge a month ago and gave a Good/Excellent review. We played again yesterday and had another great time. Course is in great shape. The only question I had would be that a couple of the Yellow Tees (we played from) had what seemed to be odd/ nonstandard tee locations where the tee area wasn't as flat as it should be. But this was minor. We had a tee time at 1 PM on a Thursday and never rain into another group ahead of us or had a group catch up to us from behind - we basically had the course to ourselves so pace of play was perfect..

Played today for the first time at the Challenge in several years. Had a great time. Tne course is in very good condition from tees to fairways to greens. The layout is tough but playable and very fair - many interesting holes. Pace of play was great - course wasn't crowded.. The snack bar facility has somewhat limited but sufficient menu - I got a pimento cheese sandwich and chips for $3.00. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall a real good experience. I'll be back.

Played yesterday in hot but bearable weather. The course was in nice shape The fairways had good amount of grass and were hard but not baked. Greens were in good shape, putts ran true and approach shots held. Sand traps all had good sand in them and had been raked at the start of the day. The tee areas all had a good amount of grass on them although some were pretty hard to put a tee in. Staff at the pro shop were friendly and helpful. All in all a real enjoyable golf experience. This course offers a good value for the money.
