Course under some construction but all holes open. Detours around construction led to a lot of golf cart driving would be impossible to work this course now. Friendly staff, starter reviewed detours which were well marked. Brown fairways typical for season. Greens choppy but ok for season, Tee boxes fine for season, First nine weather perfect back nine drizzlw off and on and no sun. Overall fun round. Offered twosome to play with us on back nine and were friendly visitors from Wisconsin so went well.

Played front and back nine of 27 holes. Tee boxes small and minimal grooming, Fairways chopped up but coild find some grass near any landing spot. Almost no sand traps. Greens pretty good cut short/flat so moderate quickness. Bought round on Golfnow at course rates were only $20. 7.50 cheaper than Golfnow.

Course tee boxes/fairways mainly weeds and crabgrass, greens hit and miss with more good than bad. Did not use fairway woods as fairways more like rough due to weeds/crabgrass.. Conditions add to difficulty. Many trees and some narrow fairways add to challenge. Many grrens had bad spots but greens in better condition than tee boxes and fairways. Rough cart paths. Snack bar person friendly, check in desk minimal communication answered questions, seemed upset about something. Lite play during our round, one twosome played through, played at our own pace with no one behind us.

Nice layout for seniors from senior tees. Only issue 5 some in front of us finally after 6 holes broke into 3 and 2 but played same slow speed as 5 some. Did not offer to let us play through.

First time for partner. Hilly course, well maintained. Some grass cuttings residue on greens otherwise well maintained. Tee boxes good. Fairways good. All in all well maintained and good upkeep.

I am 68 coming here since I was 16. Occasionally come to play 5 hole Buzzard Course for practice which I did today about 3:30 PM. Just had new shaft put on driver wanted to try it out. No one here in front of or behind me on the Buzzard course. Regular 18 hole course low play today. Hit 3 balls off 1st tee as trying to get feel for my repaired driver. On Hole 2 little old man with a cigar drives up and holds up one finger. I said, what, he said one ball. He proceeded to watch me this hole and the remaining 3 holes to be sure I hit one ball. Also learned they now charge $45. to golf here, top prices for poorly maintained course badly in need of large money infusion that will never happen. I will never, ever be back mainly because of the old man;s harassment with no one here. Meanwhile the remainder of the course where there were actually people playing was not being watched by anyone.

First 9 slow 3 hours 2nd 9 much better 2 hours. Course recovering well from previous high winds/rain a couple of days before. Greens slow. Overall good conditions and great weather today. Fun round.

Course layout requires cart almost mile between 9 and 10 holes due to closure of Lakes Course today. Played Marsh and Bay both good condition for season. Much improved from last year especially greens. Only snafu ordered hot dogs in restaurant at the turn took 20 minutes to get order. One group played through while twosome of our group that did not order hot dogs waited. They were great hot dogs but wait much too long at turn.

Greens were slow with green dye fertilizer overall in good condition. Tee boxes fair. Fairways in pretty good shape. Clubhouse under repair operating out of trailer. Cute, friendly beverage cart girl with beverages/snacks. Did see several large number of carts together(4) but we did not run into them. Pace of play good. Trees are pretty much gone and when I drove up kind of looked like country airport..

Course in good condition only negative new clubhouse still not built. Most importantly overall course conditions for play were very good. I was here in April last and course very much improved for play now, Outside grill not open at course entrance today but food was available at lower outbuildings.
