Ok, to start with, I had a groupon that was set to expire, so we set a starting time and played there yesterday. Knwoing that this was a once prominent country club, I went there anticipating a course of above average conditions. Boy was I disappointed!!! The tee boxes were decent, the greens, although brown, were medium speed and putted true. But between those points, absolutely horrible. No definition of where fairway ended and rough began. No aesthetics at all. The rough was heavy and uneven, hitting a ball into the rough made it an adventure in just finding your ball. There were numersous chopped up balls in the rough everywhere I went on this course, chopped by the mower(although when they last mowed them is anyone's guess. AS for the fairways...well, they might have been nice once, but they, too are horrible. in areas, they were the length of you average course's rough, with some strains of grass I have not ever seen on decent courses(see "weeds")....They, also, had not bee mowed in some time, an it was just pitiful to see, close up. My personal guess is that the maintenance dollars are just not being spent here, and the treatments that are needed to maintain a course to above average condition are out of their budget, these days. Driving an hour and a half to this course will not happen again, no matter what price I would be able to find, it is just not worth the trip. I was quite disappointed in this course.
