Perfect greens...no more?

This course has long been a favorite to many of people in the area. Usually priced appropriately, a good amount of difficulty for your decent weekend player (not for hacks). However, the once praised greens were lacking this time. They were plenty fast. Almost too fast. But the greens that used to putt so true were marred by unexplainable breaks and wiggling lines. They were very difficult to read and trust for this round. Hopefully they will come back despite the high amount of traffic this course gets. This round: 4 hours 50 minutes. OUCH!

Great experience

The course was in perfect shape except for the fairway bunkers they are working on. It looks like they are turning them into tall grass bunkers which will be very difficult to hit out of. Everything was fantastic from the starter to having beverage girls out going around on a Wednesday, which is very rare.

Best Greens in Town

The course is in fantastic shape, and the greens are smooth and fast. They are still upgrading some of the bunkers, and once they’re finished with that this course will be amazing.

First game of the year

Course is in great shape other than the greens. They are currently sanded which makes putting a challenge. Should be great in a few weeks.
