Great course

I play this course often and enjoy very much. I drive by a couple of courses just to reach this one because of the value for my money and because the course is in pretty good shape. Cannot beat the value.

Additional Course Maintenance Needed

The course needs additional attention with its greens and tee boxes. Greens were aerated and very sandy. Greens were not rolled so putting was not exceptional at all. Tee boxes were fair. Hard to find a really good spot to tee from with a lot of divoted areas in the blue, white, and blended areas. Fairways weren't too bad. Overall, the course offered an average experience.

Pace

The pace of play on Saturday was so slow. I had to walk off the course.

Golf @ The Del

Great time.

We were paired with two (older) golfers.

They were some of the finest men you could

meet anywhere. My partner and I enjoyed there

company.

Improving but…

The course is in pretty good condition as far as the fairways and greens go. But the Senior tees and sand traps need work.
