Always good

Greens are a bit rough and slow from recent punching
Not too bad but noticeable. Should be fine soon. Otherwise good as always

To be avoided for now at least

First time I can honestly say I did not enjoy a round of golf.
Cart path only led to massive delays. 4 groups on one tee.
Conditions are poor
Hopefully new grass kicks in and it turns around

Good back up plan

Course is a good B course. Not first tier but good second tier. Sand traps are terrible. No distance markers. No GPS on carts Greens are good. Fairways ok Nice mix of holes.

Still special

Course hasn’t changed since last played many years ago. Current owners have it in good shape. Unique course and experience. Every hole an adventure.

Great course getting a bit burnt

Great course here but since I played a month or so ago a lot of the fairways which were superb last time are showing burnt areas.

Still one of the best bets in the region

No sand in well cared bunkers.

Fun round

Really enjoyed the layout. Greens were not in good shape. Very bumpy. Some very fun challenging holes.
Love to play it again with better greens.

Time of year?

This is a core corse with virtually no housing on the property. Each hole stands alone. Should be a 5 star but consistently has poor course conditions. Particularly bad now which may be just end of season blahs but it needs attention.

Good value and quick round

This course is very easy to play in under 3 hours. It's moderate difficulty with a bit of everything. Greens putt well. Enjoyable round and great value.
