Will never return!

Management at this course care more about putting money in their pockets than taking care of the course. For many years now, they refuse to keep the rough playable. Even the first cut was so high, you can barely find your ball let alone try to hit it. Have said before I would not play there again, definitely no more now. Bring a lot of balls with you, you'll need them. I will never recommend this course to anyone

Lot better than the last time I played it

Was not really a manicured course the last time I played it. However, new owners did a fantastic job on this course, even the sand traps were a pleasure to play. Kudos to the owners, will definitely play more often now. But roughs should cut more often, not fair for us non-professionals, tks!

Because of the heat wave, and the fact that I don't think they water like they should, most fairways hard with burnt grass.

Terrible 9 holes

They must be trying to save their money. Fairways look like they haven't been watered in quit awhile, very hard. Tried the course once last year and today
Same problems. Never going back!

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Water is free so not watering isn't saving us any money. You are right, however, that the course sprinklers haven't run since the end of October of last year. The irrigation system is pressurized at the end of Spring because freezing temperatures can damage the irrigation system. Most of our golfers have actually appreciated the drier fairways compared to the squishy ones normally at this time of the year. We respect your decision not to return.

Never going back, Never

No carts in the parking lot, am a senior and had to carry bag to clubhouse. Told the young man behind the counter about this, didn't register with him. Fairways were hard as a rock, considering hot weather and no rain, they should be watered. Next tees are hard to find if you are not familiar with the course. Feel sorry for the members. Waste of money. NEVER again

Don't play after rain storm

Only played 5 holes, carts on cart path only needed very difficult to continue to walk this course. Lot of water on the fairways and bunkers don't play after a rainstorm

Nothing wrong with all fairways except for 2. But yet they had it set for golf carts on path only. Not senior friendly. Will have to call before getting tee time

There finally cut the rough. It took years to do it. I quit playing this course because of this. I'll go back if they keep them cut to a reasonably fun place to play

Bad day

Fairways like cement, lack of rain or watering. Very slow that day, very slow play. Slow players did not let us through. Of all the years I played this course, this is the first time I had this problem. Usually this place is in great shape

Never again!

This course simply refuses to cut there rough to make it enjoyable for the amateur golfer. You can follow your ball in the air, lands in the rough, very difficult to find. If you are a pro, and hit all of your shots perfect, you'll like it. Done with this course
