Couldn’t get any worse than aerating the front 9 and being “blended” into play with a groups of 25 guys. I don’t envy the starters job at all. He did as good a job as you could get with all things considered.
My only complaint was pin placement on 18. The absolute worst place on the green, sloped away from the hole placed mid-way up the slope.
The tavern was great. Some beverages and lunch was all it took to forget the 18th hole.

Nice to see it wasn’t Cart Path Only after a early morning drizzle. My rating was based on the vacant holes on the fairways and greens (No Sand filler) in large areas on all holes. We made the best of it but the rate didn’t compensate for this. My opinion only. This course is a good place to spend a Monday.
Wished they had more than the hot dog stand to eat at. It was Memorial Day. Might have thought to have more choices but not my call. Glad for the snack shack afterwards.

Price was good, pace was good but if you are trying to keep carts out of the woods, there are other ways less interactive with rangers and golfers. Suggest posting discrete signs and possibly telling golfers when they pay. We had a Ranger (seemingly) following our 4some for 3 holes. The 1st interaction was with me when I started looking for a pulled shot into the trees. Pulled shots happen but when he came up, his 1st comment was to inform me and my partner, no carts in the woods. I was hoping he saw where my ball went in so I could retrieve and play. Still had to look for my ball, just not in the cart. That doesn’t help if you’re trying to keep pace. Using the cart does help reducing time. Yeah I know, shoot better, and I wouldn’t be in the woods. Playing today with 1 possibly 2 cracked ribs, I guess I wasn’t at my best. Maybe I’ll cancel next time.

The course looked in good shape but there wasn’t a starter to ask cart tiles etc. . Instantly had to start questioning guys around us to find where we were situated. Few hole back up until the rhythm of pace kicked in. Course was soggy but that was expected based on recent rain. Some additional drainage can help but will be expensive and take time.
I kinda miss the outside cooking, at least a quick hotdog and a beer at the turn.

It was cool and overcast when we started. Little bit of slow play off the start, but it was to be expected.
Fairways were good but recent aeration made putting a challenge. Barely made 100 as an average hack, this was a little high. This and the greens healing will pass. Great time out, they even had a cart person out serving drinks and snacks.
Always a bargain for the buck.

Started earlier due to a twosome being a little late. They passed once the caught up.
Like I stated at the beginning, this was the best I’ve seen this course. Sure there’s a couple areas that needs to fill out, but they had tree crews clearing the deadwood and now the raking is underway to clear the leaves and branches between the fairways. With this work, we played under 3-1/2 hrs. We were asked to pick and place the ball from the wooded areas. We respected that. Luckily we were in but about 4 times total for a foursome.
The restaurant was great. Food and beverage was spot on.
Definitely will be playing here again.

Early is always best if you want to beat the heat. Today was no exception. Course was in the best shape I’ve ever seen it. I’m not kidding. Greens were the best I’ve ever seen as well. For some reason we had no one behind us. So not pushed. The group in front were hackers like us so we kept pace.
After the round is where my review changes. No clubhouse yet. It’s been too long. I know it’s under new management, but post something to give a timeline for the building.
Will I return, absolutely.

This place has been doing some course refreshing based on my last time here. It looks great. We were the 1st “group” out besides the two guys that had their pushcarts loaded and out before sunrise. We never got close to these guys and we had carts.
I saw that they had opened up some locations but some of the trees could have been trimmed back to allow for simpler shots at the green.
After the round, we went to the restaurant and had breakfast. Our server was so nice. Food was great and quickly prepared. We’ll definitely be back in the summer.

Great weather led to a great day at this course. My ONE complaint being, hole placement on sloped greens. They were too fast to hold, subsequently having a two of four putt finish. If you want faster play and still have challenges, a flat smooth surface is just as challenging. Just my two cents. That and move the White Tee markers over to the Ladies/Senior Tee box on 12. There’s still a challenge, just not the double whammy of a narrow fairway shot, that needs to draw (left) to continue on the fairway. We played using the Senior Tees.
Glad to see the lunch cart open. A beer and a dog always hits the spot.

Wow, I expected a tough outing with my group. I was not disappointed. My fitness watch shot to 29 flights completed. We had a frost delay and a mixed cart path only round. Given the time of the season, the course was in really good shape. The round took 5+ hours because of the delay and path rules, which wasn’t bad. Problem was, the restaurant was closed by the time we finished. It was Sunday, so I do understand. Will try for a summer outing here and compare the outcome.

Nice day, weather was mild for this time of year. I didn’t remember anyone until the Starter, telling me that they were using temp. tee boxes. Oh well, okay. We were told to stay in the rough and 90 at the fairway, except the rough was so low, I couldn’t tell one from the other. I did my best to stay close to the tree line.
When we finished, we had lunch indoors. Great food menu, and having a drink ended the day.

After a short frost delay, we started. The cart rule was 90 deg. to the rough for the day. Course was in great shape considering the date we were playing. Greens were in good shape and it looks like they’re getting ahead of the “rough areas” on the greens by sanding and probably seeding those areas. Already looks better than the last time I played here.
Shame they don’t have at least a minimal menu for Mondays.

Luckily no frost delay. Started 1st and kept a good pace. The greens were hard as a rock before the turn and then softened a little. Fairways were frozen and then became soft under the cart wheels. There weren’t any tee box markers so we picked a point on the box and tried to repeat that position around the course. I didn’t partake in any food following the round, so I have no personal comments about the food. Typically, the burgers and hot dogs are the choices with beverages, of course.

Well, a 2 hour frost delay was to be expected. The staff did their best to make you feel “ok” with that.
Course was in great shape. Winter tee boxes were in very good shape. Fairways were awesome. The greens were in the best winter conditions I’ve ever seen, not kidding, except, there was the dreaded dead zones from too much water/drainage issues.
Because it was Monday and winter, no food at the turn or at the end :( . There’s a little restaurant within a couple of minutes from here.
My one complaint was the Geo-Fencing golf carts. Sorry, not a fan. A little glitchy if you’re driving between cart path trails and if you’re just off the trail.
All in all, a quick winter round.

Had no one in front or behind for the entire round. Two reasons, it was cold and early. I’m really impressed that they are really closed to finishing the asphalt cart path. Really good to see them put some funds into this place. Can’t wait until the weather gets warmer. This place is going to be ready.

Best day of the week to play. Started at noon and got
through (3 golfers) in 4 hours. Foursome in front were slow (being kind) otherwise we would’ve been done a half hour earlier.
Tee boxes were mixed, dormant Zoysia grass or old grass. Fairways were good for this time of the year as were the Greens. Really need to do some work on a few. There were some bare spots present which hampered putting long distance.
I gave a 3 star for amenities. Hey, it’s “Winter Season” so, I understand if the snack cart is closed until Spring.
We played at noon and other than the slow foursome, it was a pretty nice day.

It didn’t help that we had a frost delay of around an hour. We were lucky to have someone in our 4some that knew the lay of the course. Not an obvious layout but was fun to play. I ran out of gas on 15 and my scorecard reflected it. The amenities were basic chow and canned brew. I appreciated the hot dog and brew after the round. Hard to tell if the snack area had other food choices before the pandemic. We suggested to the Pro Shop guy that they should have breakfast sandwiches if they have a frost delay. Making money isn’t a bad thing during a delay.

Given the time of season for playing any course in November, this course was in Good shape. Little mushy in some low areas, yes, but it rained for 2days. There was some rough areas on the greens, some work is needed before losing larger areas. No sand seed mix in the containers on the carts. Some of us do fill spots we create in the fairways.
After the round, the snack area served some great choices for cooked sandwiches. I do miss the clubhouse though. I’d come back again while the weather holds out.
