Just play it

Greens are in good shape. There are a few tee boxes that could use some attention as well as a few spots on the fairways, but for the price it’s a great course.

It’s getting better, but still needs some work

My biggest complaint is the greens and the fact that they charge what they do. I understand the greens were attacked by a fungus and are trying to recover, however, charging the price they do is unacceptable for poor quality greens, cups that look like they haven’t been moved in weeks, and one temporary green. The greens were slow and bumpy. The cups were absolutely ragged (not a sharp edge to be found). Maybe in a month or so they might be good. Hopefully they roll the greens, cut them and move the cups around. I’ll give it one more chance because I do enjoy the course.

Course Needs Work

This course is in desperate need of some TLC. It used to be a great course and now it has been reduced to a poor public course. Fairways are more dirt than grass. Unless something drastic winds up happening, I think I have played my last round there.

Worst Greens Ever. Save your money.

I am not sure what has happened but the course is in the absolute worst shape that I have ever seen it. Maybe some of that driving range money should have been spent on course maintenance. The greens were horrible. Many looked diseased and many were painted to try and cover it up. I couldn't even tell you when the cups had been moved, but all of the edges were very worn and many were volcano cups. The tool to flatten the area around the cup after installation is made for a reason. A few of the greens actually had surface separation from the base. I will not be back and have made sure my buddies know not to waste their money. The worst part is they GAVE me a 10% discount because "a few of the greens were spotty" They should have paid me to play there instead.

Too much for too little

I was expecting a bit more for the $170 green fee. It's just a very basic layout. Nothing fancy. Fairways are super tight and very firm. Almost hardpan like. Don't expect to take many divots. There is no rough. Basically it's fairway and penalty areas. Same around the greens. No rough. Everything is firm and shaved down. You can actually putt your ball off of the green if you are not careful.

Nice greens

The greens were really nice today.They appear to be taken care of. Unfortunately this doesn't apply to the fairways or bunkers. Who has vegetation growing inside of their bunkers? Are you kidding me? They are also hard packed dirt, not sand. Someone needs to get into those things with a tiller and break it all up. As far as the fairways are concerned, my buddy and I were 10 feet apart in the fairway. He was on decent fairway grass, I was on hardpan. I may as well have been hitting off of the cartpath. Since it appears they are trying to partner with the local hotel, you would think they would put some focus on the conditions.

Great course. Greens need attention from players

I really like this course. It has always had some of the best greens around, however, I was extremely disappointed in the amount of pitch marks on the greens. We were in a foursome and fixed at least 4 or 5 per person on every green we were on. Come on people!!! Don't you understand that the only way greens stay nice is if you take care of them yourselves? Not fixing pitch marks, causes death to the grass, which in turn forces courses to raise their rates due to more green repair costs. Other than that, the course is in great shape.

Great as always

The course is in great shape, the staff is excellent. The only bad thing was place of play. It took us over 5 1/2 hours to play including waiting almost 25 minutes to tee off on 10 because of people stopping at the turn. I think having signs posted or a phone available to place orders ahead of time might help, but all in all a good day.

Fun day

We had a fun day even though only 16 holes were open. The other 2 are supposed to be open this coming weekend. Greens were nice, fairways were in pretty good shape. I'll be back.

Tough as ever

This course is as tough as it has ever been. Firm and fast fairways, unforgiving bunkers, and diabolical greens. If you think your "A" game is up to snuff, bring it here and challenge yourself.

Great city course

Upkept city course. Greens were in great shape. Bunkers could use actual sand instead of dirt, but they were playable. Rough is rough. Make sure you place your tee shots for your next shot. Lots of trees.

Overseeded

Course was over seeded but greens were in good shape. Rough was thick and fairways were muddy or hard pan. All tee boxes were temporary. Conditions will probably be really good in a month or two.
