A request

Greens cut tighter to add some speed and change cup locations more often. Grass growing into cup makes it difficult to sink anything of distance.

A must play

Just a fabulous course........maybe the best we've played in years. A must play.

On the negative side golf course staff were a bit off their game that day.

Despite that we will definitely go back.

Pleasant surprise

Drove by this course many of times from the highway thinking it looked very plain looking.

Wrong !

A neat layout with many interesting holes. I will definitely be going back.

In need of mowing

Been playing here since the 70's and have never seen the greens as slow as they were. Fairways and rough were in need of some TLC as well.
I will always like the layout but it seems like they have neglected to keep the course as it once was.

Still a fun course to play despite.........

First the negative.
Wet in spots from a big rain two days earlier. Greens a tad slower then normal. Pace was 5 hour round with a backup on some tees. Some bunkers not maintained that day because of a lot of footprints and indentations .
Now the positive.
Fairways and rough well maintained. Layout, as always has some fun holes. #1,4,6,7,810,11,18.
#8 is a drivable par 4 that can turn into a big score if not played with precision shots.

One of my favourites

I was a member here 35+ years ago and enjoy coming back to play every time. There are many holes that have that wow factor for me and it is always in great shape. A must play for a desired mid-level course.

Tough rough

Being a public player I found that the rough was way too long. Once you were in all you could do was chop it out.
A few times we had a hard time finding our balls a few feet off the fairway because they sunk to the bottom of the rough.

With aerated greens and over-the-top long rough the course played extremely tough.

The rough was definitely longer than normal due to the excessive amount of rain we've received this summer. We have cut it down to normal lengths now and all of our greens have fully healed. We hope to see you again this summer.

Hilly and tree lined

My initial thought about this course was that it would be flat and wide open. Just the opposite.

Great shape with a lot of different looking holes. Fast greens as well.

Reminds me of Flamborough Hills.

Played the blue-gold course.

Loved it !

Course conditions............shaggy

I've been coming here for 40 years. Always loved the immaculate shape it has been in.
This time on a long weekend...... no signs of having used a mower recently. Hard to distinguish any cut lines from the fairways to the rough.
I'll be back but was disappointed after expecting what I was used to seeing.

Small greens

Loved certain holes. Fabulous look to them. As a once a week average golfer I found the greens hard to locate with my approach shots. Precision is a necessity. A lot of drop offs around the greens.I was chipping all day long.
Made for a difficult day for scoring.

Good value

Five hour round but still enjoyed the course. It was in very good shape. Greens were quick. The rough had been cut, but patches of dead grass sat on top making a little difficult to find your ball.

All in all for $25 walking ? Money well spent.

Flat for 15....... then 3 roller coaster holes.

Fairways were in need of cutting. Most likely because the fairways were still wet from a very wet weekend 7 days prior.
Some rather bad tee off areas also. Taller grass on tees with mud and sand mixed in made it hard to find a suitable place to tee up from.
Greens were okay.
I was expecting a very hilly terrain. Didn't happen until the last 3 holes which are built around where the ski lift is.
I was going to give the course a C- rating until I hit #17. Very pretty par 3 straight downhill which bumped it up to a C rating for me.

Wide open but long. Course needs some tending loving care.

Traps had no sand. Greens were on the slower side. Fairways were full of clover............but we were looking for cheap and fast. And that's what we got.

Still would play here again, just to bang the ball around.
