PROS over local competition
+ Cheaper and has a variety of challenge so it's a great course to learn at or play at the start of a year
+ Fantastic course to play with a newer golfer or younger family members.

CONS or compromises
-Poor green conditions, they are consistently the slowest I've ever played. One time out of the 15 or so times I've played there they've been acceptable. If you play here often expect your short game everywhere else to be horrible.
-Very poor tee block conditions. Depends on the hole but most are bumpy and uneven. No maintenance done during the day.
-Dry summer has made most of the rough not much of a factor but prior years this wasn't a problem. Expect the course to reflect the weather.
-Poor pacing. If you're going to play here you have to accept that you may have to wait 5-15 minutes to take shots depending on the day and time. Large backups are common on weekends.

Pros or cons
+- Extreme lack of obstacles that decrease in number every year.
+- Hole 10 and 18 are par 3's that "require" 175ish+ yard carries from white due to some of the only real obstacles on the course.

Overall the real downfalls of the course (that I cannot compromise on as a low-mid end player) come down to the green speeds. But for the area it holds a key spot in being extremely approachable for new players or casuals due to a low price and low expectations.

C at best or D+ at worst.
