Course Improvement

Course was great, Chalenging and different holes.Cart Boy Niko is great. Your check in personal, I think who is also the course pro, however has some personality issues. Not easy to talk to . Have had no problems with Phil but this guy today was anything but friendly. Love the course. Your grounds superintendent has done a great job with the greens and fairways over the last two years. Huge improvement. We finally have grass to hit out of on all fairways.

Golf motorcycles

I enjoy this course but while it is not the best around, they invested in golf cart motorcycles and they are the greatest advancement in golf fun since the start of the cart girl.

Golf motorcycles are fast, nimble, easy to drive and so much fun.

Fun outing- bring bug spray

We have had lots of rain, so the course is in good shape!! Great day- it wasn’t busy and so the pace of play was perfect.

Bring bug spray!! The mosquitos were terrible, even in the middle of the day.

Improved

Hadn’t played here in a couple of years. The course conditions were in a steady decline for a number of years. It seems as though the tide has turned and the tee boxes, fairways, and greens have undergone a vast improvement. The biggest problem is with pace of play; instead of grouping players into foursomes, you can have a single in back of a foursome, twosomes and threesomes mixed in. Add in some extremely slow players and it can be a frustrating long round.

The greens were very good and so were the sand traps and waste bunkers. The fairways were decent but the rough needs some work. Lots of bare spots in the rough but then again you should always keep it in the fairway!!

Going down hill

Paid $40 for 18 + cart online. Course was in rough shape. Greens were bumpy and only partially grown in. Fairways were sparse and hard. Tee boxes were chunked, sparse and hard. Bunkers were like cement. Not going back here in a long time.

Pace of play

I don’t know what it is this year but for some reason this is the second course in the last few weeks that have been letting people out on the 10th hole. Maybe I’m old-school, but this shouldn’t be happening because it really bags up the backside with so many players.

Unfortunately for me and the rest of my group we quit after the 13th hole because we just couldn’t take it any longer.

The views were exceptional as always, and I can see that they have made improvements to the course by cutting down some trees along the rough in opening up a little bit. The greens are still coming back from being aerated, so they were quite bumpy, but I can see that knowing this course it will improve as usual

Great day on the course!

Challenging Donald Ross course. Greens are exceptionally challenging and are coming around from recent aeration. Fairway conditions were good for the season, looking forward to conditions after grass is really growing!

Hot deal makes an exceptionally good value.
