Course is obviously going through some seasonal work. Tee boxes are, for the most part, either overgrown, or bare dirt. Greens are receptive, but incredibly slow and bumpy.

In a month or so, it will hopefully be in better shape.

This use to be one of my favorite tracks when it first opened, but the fairway grass was spotty until recently. After all the rains this winter, the course had come back and was in decent shape when I played it a few months ago, but yesterday I was shocked how bad the conditions are.

Fairways and tees are 95% sandy dirt. Looked like they hadn't seen a drop of watering in months. Greens are still decent, but everything else is bad. Traps have zero sand in them, and are more like gravel pits.

Even the range is bad. There were a total of 4 mats on the entire range and they were so lumpy and uneven, it was hard to stop a ball from rolling around long enough to hit it. And speaking of the balls, you have to buy them in the pro shop (instead of the machine that used to be down on the range) and for $11 dollars, you get a medium bucket of balls in the worst condition imaginable. More than half of them had some sort of major damage that most ranges would throw them away.

At least the pace of play was good, as the only people there were also fooled by the green grass pics and the promise of a nice round.

Current ownership has run this place into the ground. So sad.

Greens were just punched a week ago and are still sandy and bumpy. They are soft and hold your approach, but difficult to putt as it is hard to keep them on line.

Course lay out is fun. Lots of elevation changes and interesting holes, especially on the back side. Fairways are in OK shape, very short winter grass, so if you don't like tight lies, you'll struggle. Ball also tends to roll a mile if you hit the fairways, sometimes not stopping til finding trouble. Greens are very fast, but are receptive.

Actually aced the 8th hole (with a nine iron from the blue tees) and checked with the club house after the round, but was disappointed they didn't even have a certificate to print commemorating it for me.

Fun course. I'll be back.

Been playing this course for years, but hadn't in a while. The greens, which were always one of the strengths of this course, were in the worst shape I had ever seen and very disappointing. Not so much that they had been punched within the past few weeks, but many of them had large areas of disease or burn so bad there was more dirt than grass. They are soft and will hold your approach, but you better hit it close because they are a challenge to putt in their current condition.

On a positive note, although I was only in two of them, those were some of the best bunkers around to play from.

Pleasantly surprised to find they are doing a ton of good renovations to the fairways here. A little bummed my favorite hole (par 5 #13) was knocked down to a par 3 due to major work on the fairway, but it has needed it for a while. Hoping #15 is next, as I can't remember the last time that fairway actually had some grass on it.

Greens are in their typical phenomenal shape, and the course overall is in the best shape its been in a while. And talk about pace of play! Played 36 today in 5 hours and 20 minutes!

Course is in great shape (As always) but with the fairways going dormant for the winter, they roll forever! That would be great, except many of the fairways severely slope towards trouble, and even a well struck shot can end up where you don't want to be. You have to account for this or you'll get very frustrated.

Greens and fairly receptive, but a little on the slow side.

Fun layout, and definitely a challenge.

Fairways are in decent shape, but the greens were shaggy and very bumpy - as well as slow for this course. Not sure when they were last punched, but most were pretty spotted. Bunkers were crusty on top and wet underneath. No one out there on a Wednesday afternoon, and finished 18 in about 3 hours. Guy in the pro shop was pretty rude and charged me a $15 "Spectator Charge" for my girlfriend to ride along. Don't know when I'll be back, to be honest.
