Same Problem All Year

We love this course. My favorite in the area.

It is very challenging, and a lot of fun.

But they have had the same issue all year: the Tee Areas are in terrible shape. What isn't crab grass is so roughly chewed up we had to continually tee up beyond the markers. Can't blame the end of the season, this has been this way all year.

The second problem is not their fault... it is the ridiculous amout of unrepared fairway divots and ball marks on the green. Shame on the players who are simply too lazy to fix their damage.

Otherwise' i highly recommend this course.

Poor course layout

Challenging course in good condition boy approximately 13 miles of cart path. Course has homes thru out and at times front golf cart on public streets to get to next hole. That was dangerous. Nice staff that mentioned new owner just purchased course and they are going thru transition.

Ccp

Everything was great. The only thing we had trouble with was the slow greens. They held well but had to really take a big swing to get ball to hole.

Interesting course!

First time playing this course. Very interesting layout and 13 miles of cart paths! The staff was friendly and the conditions were good. The greens were very slow, however. Somewhat tight fairways but not extreme. Very enjoyable round and would definitely play there again.

Over the river and thru the woods

Which came first the housing development or the golf course? This course is over 13 miles of cart path driving through housing developments. Staff wasn’t great. Mostly asleep but not rude. There was a lot of rain so we can’t criticize the course which was not in good shape. The grass was high everywhere including the greens. But the layout is not good. We ran into two or three groups who got lost trying to get to their next hole.

Needs help

Would not play again unless a shift in management of the course. Need new staff and to invest money in upkeep of the course: tee boxes overgrown with weeds in particular.

Lots of elevation changes and carry from tees

Course is in very good shape, especially greens. I found yardage from Blue Tees a bit misleading in that many holes have quite a challenging carry even though the hole isn’t particularly long. All par 3s are at least 180+ which became a bit annoying. I don’t play mountain courses much, so maybe I’m just whining about things that are normal. I would definitely go back!
