Disappointed

I have been playing this course for 17 years. The fairways need help. The bad areas in the fairways have been bad for years. Lots of mud holes between greens to tee boxes. Nobody will fill them. Lots of weeds and dandelions in the rough. This course could be really nice if it got some tlc. Greens are the best feature. Challenging and quick.

Played this course often before, 1st time this year. The course condition was good with even the sand in good shape. The greens were true.

The course has been a favorite of mine for many years.Staff is very friendly and professional. We drive 3 5 miles to play and the pace is always great-under 4 hours. Each of the 3 nines offer great holes. Not to much water with quite a few sandtraps. My customers always enjoyed the course-not to frustrating but still challenging. Clubhouse is inviting with great food and outside eating available. You always have a great time and it proves to be the best value around.

Foggy Monkey

As I got closer to the golf course off of I-94 I could see playing the early holes would be a challenge in dense, pea soup, fog. I had I a 6:30 Tee time & walked into the pro shop at precisely 6:30 a.m. . although I booked a tee time at 6:30 I thought I'd be playing with a twosome as there were only two tee times at that time of my booking. I went out to the First Tee with a hundred feet of visibility. I teed up my Chrome soft lower than usual to limit offline strikes. I hit a low bullet down left side of the Fairway.the greens were phenomenal today and the dampness of the day could not interrupt the Glorious round I enjoyed pretty darn nice an overlooked golf facility. everytime I'm there on an early morning there are workers on the course making sure the greens are perfect and bunkers manicured to perfection. I've been playing here for 35yrs and it never gets old. I alternate rounds playing from the blues and the whites and it's a different course from each Tee box. I look forward to the next 35 years.

Slow play, poor course condition

Took 5 hrs to finish the round. And the course looked so dried out in most areas but soggy in some other areas

Play as of Wednesday.

The greens where in very good condition . They were slower then they had been previously. The fairways had bee cut and the rough was not overly long. The pace of play seemed somewhat slow with a threesome ahead of us and a fivesome ahead of them. However, we still played the course in a little over four hours. Both my partner and I will play the course again.

Allowing 5 somes on a busy course with slow players who refuse to let faster groups play thru is a game breaker
