Course in decent shape for time of year

Pace of play was slow due to a tournament that I was unaware of.

terrible course conditions

The range was soaked. I figured they might have over watered. Nope it was the entire course. You’d think it just rained but there hasn’t been much rain in a few weeks. Yet the fairways were muddy. Fairways were scalped -pretty much played on dead grass.

This course is usually in great shape but the day I played it wasn’t. The staff are 100% cool. The layout is fun. Just bad conditions made it a waste.

The layout is the best feature

No homes on the course. Water comes into play on several holes. The course is very challenging and requires some shot making. Fun to play.

Great Course Bring Food

Great course! Some holes were a little damp and it hasn’t rained lately so I assume that’s from over watering. I bring food though no grill and food there is limited!

Really nice layout

Really interesting layout, makes the most of the natural landscapes and woods/creeks. Greens were fast, fairways were plush.
