SLOW

Everything was great minus the 5some somehow let out in front of us. They wouldnt let us play through the ranger said nothing to how slow they were so the round was 5 hours long. Everything else was good

No covid restrictions whatsoever

No masks inside, staff amd dining with no masks inside, people were taking out flagsticks. Apparently out in the country no one cares. Got plugged on the back nearly 3 hours. No rangers.....just not a good day for here on a 90 plus degree day

Old school

So havent played here since 1999. A few changes which was great and the staff and layout are still awesome. Pace was slow i even was paired with 2 ladies who were good and the 4somes in front wouldnt let us through so a 4 and a half hr round but i.will be back asap to play the blue course. Gold was my conference course and the blue was my regionals so cant wait to go back

Yikes

Tee times were booked solid but was a 5 hr round and the greens and tee boxes were beat to pulp. People.dont take care of this golf course so the constant attempts to repair ball.marks and hitting out of unfixed divots was insane. People are nice and there was a cart girl to save the day but covid has not treated settlers well....

Always fun to play here

Always in decent shape rough is alittle.high and greens were alittle baked but everything's always good here. Outdoor dining after and good food. Yeah now that its getting hotter hopefully they dont let the greens get to squirrelly and lost a few balls in the thick rough that hadnt been mowed but no big deal its golf and it was fun on a beautiful day!

No covid practices?

Apparently covid doesnt apply out in the country. All staff were indoors the bar was reopened with food and everything which is nice. No masks or gloves anywhere. Every group was touching and pulling flagsticks, racks on bunkers so unless i heard something else they are full open i guess. 5 hr round no rangers to push the slow 2 somes everywhere on course. The course itself 8snt bad the greens are solid and slow but the fairways and rough are dried out. Not bad but if i get sick i know where i got it from.

91 degrees.......no water

There are 0 water buckets on this course so if its hot your spending 3 to 8 bucks everytime the cart girl comes just to stay cool. Rain has all the bunkers destroyed but love this course.

Solid

Course is in ok shape....lots of goose crap everywhere and the bunkers are as little sketchy but greens are always good and the old guys never let a 2some play through so we had to skip a hole so the 2 4somes in front of us would notice how slow they were playing. Back 9 had a water main break on 17 so almost got the cart stuck until it was to late. Lunch was very good!

Winter conditions

Bunkers were the worst I've seen....could be it's early March but on 3 occasions I hit 3 shots where the sand was so thin the underlining ripped up under the wedge and got caught and almost tore my wrist up trying to swing. Like I said it's a nice course but the conditions of the bunkers were bad....Might try again in a few months and the restaurant was closed on mondays....oh well

Needs help

This place is in terrible condition. Ant hills in the greens. The rough and fairways are all over the place either thick or dry or dead and some pins were 1 or 2 paces from being off the greens.

Monday madness.....

So I love this golf course and they have a Monday madness deal for 35 bucks.....my only issue is that it's also 35 to walk.....id rather walk than ride so why not cut it to 25 for those who want to walk. I tees off around 215 and finally caught 3 foursomes around 12 fairway in just under an hour. None of these 4somes let me through and no rangers were out to help push the back 9 along so instead of finishing 18 in around 2 and a half hours. As a single it still took 3 and a half with my front 9 only taking me an hour. O well still love this place but would like to see a small assist to us walkers.
