Unfortunate and sad situation

I tried this course, instead of my home regular... Seriously, don’t waste your time or money here unless you’re looking for a costly place to practice. You won’t have to worry about pace of play, because there isn’t many other golfers. The course is currently going through re-management and sale. It has also been re-engineered/developed to accommodate new house construction. So much so, that my GOLF BUDDY GPS did not identify some tee box placements. It has no range to speak of. Simply a patch of field between some houses, that you can only hit irons on. However, the turf would not even qualify as rough. Many greens have been lost, and have limited pin placement options. Even the fairways and tees are beginning to accumulate weeds, and many sand traps are devoid of sand. When I finished my round, I asked about the disrepair and was told the closing on the property had been delayed, and the previous management had prematurely sold their equipment.
This probably once was a well designed and managed course, but it remains to be seen what it’s future will be.
Truly a sad sight.

Fairways need work

The course was in fair condition, with the exception of the most fairways. There is little to no grass even in the heart of the fairways. I felt as if I was hitting off dirt most of the time.
