Beautiful round.

Course was dry and slightly fast. Although we didn't have a tee time, we were able to get on after a very minimal wait for a senior morning wave to finish. Staff and management were very courteous and professional, as always, in assisting us getting tee off in ease.

Best Municipal Course in Eastern Virginia

This course was by far the best municipal course I have ever played. From start to finish, this course did not disappoint.

Course looked good

Overall, the course was in really good shape. It had just rained the day before and was not terribly wet. The green were in good shape aside from lazy people not repairing their ball marks.

Wish public would fix the damage they do

Sections of all greens are unputtable because of pitch marks which go unrepaired.

Fringes are mostly POA annua but fairways still have decent turf.

Solid Course

Solid Course with some really fair and some challenging holes. Conditions were good and greens were great. Pace of play was a little slow but that is just because I got caught behind VSU team. Solid time all together

Hatchets everywhere

Multiple five-somes in front of us with non golfers hacking up the place. People - pick up your ball after 7 strokes. Need a starter badly.

Greens on the back are getting beat up pretty bad. I guess that’s to be expected considering it’s a public course and nobody fixes their pitch marks. I end up fixing 5 or 6 marks on every green.
