This course has a tough and challenging layout. I suspect this has influenced some of the poor ratings. Golfers tend to be in a bad mood after a course kicks their butt.

The course does need some work, but it is not in the terrible shape some have described. The vast majority of the fairways are in decent to really good shape. The cart paths are a mess, but who cares? Exactly how does that affect your golf game. The one legitimate complaint is about the greens. There are several greens that have areas of no grass. But it really was not a factor when I played. On the greens with bad patches is was about 10% of the green and the pins were not placed in the baf areas.

As long as you don''t go to the course expecting a resort or country club experience this course is fine. It is what it is. . . a public course within a county Park. That being said aside from a few rough maintenance issues (1/2 of green number 2 is under repair due to water damage, a few dirt oatches in a few fairways, rough cart paths, and a few sketchy spots on other greens), I thought the course played great. Enjoyable layout overall and average course conditions.
