Good weather
Used cart

Not the Shaker I used to know

Very sad. I used to love this course but the place was pretty awful this morning. The tee boxes are destroyed and I don't mean just between the markers but I mean the entire tee box is covered in divots. I played a different course earlier in the week for $7.50 and it was so much nicer than this course that cost me $60.

What else bothered me? How about weeds EVERYWHERE. On the greens, in the fairway, on the tee box, in the rough, it didn't matter you could find weeds growing everywhere.

Final biggest complaint? No true starter. The guy giving us a cart was a giant pain in the butt to see my receipt but then we were left to go as we please. Not a problem for us but the people who teed off before us? Yeah. They paid to play the meadows ($35) but then jumped in front of us. Which is fine except IT TOOK US 5 hours to play the round. That would be bad except we teed off at 7;30. Do you think any decent course has a 5 hour time to play a round if you tee off at 7:30?

Great quick course

The Bruin is a par 3 course and should be proud of it. A lot of golfers are "too good" for the course. Hardly. Everyone could use more practice on par 3's and wedge work. So go to the range for an hour or go play the Bruin for an hour? Which sounds more fun? For me it is the Bruin. I love this little course. Unless you can break par on the course you aren't "too good" for it.

Give it a try!

Pace of play was great. Kind of tight since all of the holes are on top of each other. But if you slice it good chance you can play for the next fairway. ;) Fun and cheap. I liked it.

Very pretty course

Great use of lakes without being the type of course that you are putting balls into the drink all day. The greens were a little rough but I will give them a pass and assume it is still early in the season. I would say give it a play if you get the chance.
