dusty's take

What makes this course enjoyable is it's nature and limited housing around the course, which is changing. The improvement to the course of an added lake and additional sand traps on the front nine makes things a little more challenging and picturesque.

The course it's self was in good condition compared to a previous visit.
Very disappointed with all of the building around and on the course. It will not be the beautiful course it was any longer.

dusty's take

It was very obvious that the weather had been dry, the course was dry and hard and the ponds and lakes were low, so much so that some of the water hazards were not evident from the tees. This being said the course was still in decent condition and was enjoyable to play.

The gentleman in the Pro Shop was very friendly and and did something that was unexpected, he actually introduced the members of my foursome to each other, since we consisted of a couple and two singles. This made the hookup very easy.. Very friendly staff.
The course is a little different in that you play 11 holes before get back too the club house .

Dusty's Take

Very enjoyable course to play. I asked one of the staff members for tips on how to play the course, his reply was keep it in the fairway. Best advise for sure;

Luckily the starter moved me up with a twosome who played there often, or I may still be looking for a way out . It definitely is not a course meant to walk, between the quicksand and the gators. I jest only a little.

A distraction for some might be the flight classes doing touch and go, but didn't bother me. I will be playing there again for sure.

dusty's take

This was the first time playing this course. I found it difficult to navigate the course because the signage was minimal to nonexistent getting from hole to hole.
The cart paths are so far away from the greens that in many cases you can't see them if you didn't drive up on them.
It was a little windy and the course was wet from an over night rain that was evidently heavier than the staff was aware of.

This course will be a good course to, if it ever quits raining so they can keep up with all of the mowing. The greens were good but the rough in areas were tall. It took some time to find your ball. I'm sure this will be remedied when the weather clears up and they have a full staff on board for the summer.

Dusty's Take

I have never seen fairway grass taller than the ball. Also the rough was so deep that it was time consuming to locate your ball, let alone get a decent hit. The grass around the sand bunkers was even worse and balls were actually lost. I don't know if it is the season and they were preparing for the winter golfers or if this is typical procedure, but it made for slower play as well as difficult play.

Dusty's Take

If you like forced carry's over water and narrow fairways around water then this course is for you. Not a good course for someone having trouble hitting the ball. That said I had a great time the weather was perfect and the company was enjoyable. We were a mixed group of Golfnow users, a local couple, a pretty good golfer and this hack. The most annoying thing was the rough was too long for most golfers and the time spent looking for buried balls was extensive. and hitting out of the nasty grass slowed play considerably. Since I was the one in the slower group it wasn't a problem for me but we did let some groups play through. Losing balls just off of the fairway was very annoying.
Over all it was a nice course to play and the staff works hard to maintain it .

Excellent course, busy on this day a Friday but pace of play was good. The only negative for the day was the pin locations, too many were in impossible locations that prevented you to score well.

Dusty's Take

This course in my opinion has not see any serious maintenance in years, the fairways and the greens are overtaken with weeds and sand burrs. The fairways were almost unrecognizable uncut for weeks rough potted and full of ant hills. The sand traps had foot tall weeds growing in them and had not been maintained. The carts are very old and possibly dangerous, the steering on my cart had quarter turn slack in it.I would not recommend this course to my worst enemy.

Dusty's Take

The course was in good condition, except they need to add sand to most of the bunkers. It was like playing out of ground under repair. The bunker on 10 had rocks bigger than my golf ball and no sand at all.
Other than that it was a good round.

This course was a big surprise. lots of elevation change, water, and trees.
The only improvement would be that the fairway rough be cut shorter.
