Wet day

Course as always was in good shape, and challenging. I was only able to play 9 holes before the rain started to come down in buckets. However, the staff was more than helpful in giving me a rain check for the nine holes I was unable to play. .

Nice historic neighborhood course

The staff was awesome. The course was in good condition, and I liked the layout, but the pace of play was slow. Also, there is no water on the course.

Stuck in the past

This course hangs on to the fact that they hosted PGA events in the mid 90’s. The staff was helpful and check in was easy. I got my cart, which I thought would fall apart after every bump, and made my way to the range. I discovered the range to be all dirt and no grass. Nothing is worse that a bad range session before a round.

The round began and the course appeared to be in good shape. The bunkers were packed down from recent rain so ball striking was key. Most greens had dead spots and rolled slower than I was used to. Pace of play was very slow and a ranger was non-existent.

Overall, the course was in decent shape and a good value for the price of the hot deal. I’m not sure I would pay full rate but would play here again.
