Challenging but fair

Tees are ok. Fairways have grass. Bonus. Greens are in good shape but slow. Bunkers: some good, some bad, some disgusting. No starter or ranger or beverage cart. But I really enjoy the layout of this course. Will play it again if I can get a deal.

Great greens

Greens in superb condition. The fairways seem well maintained. Bunkers need attention. The rough is rough. A nice layout. Back nine more challenging than the front. Pro shop is spartan. No starter but the pro shop staffer did a good job of organizing and getting everyone off number one on time. Looks like a course that fell into disrepair and is recovering.

Could be fantastic

This course could be amazing if some time and money was put into it. The layout is great and the greens ok but tee to green and bunkers were terrible. Please put some TLC in and you have a great course. Would love to recommend this course but can’t in its present condition although for $30 you get what you pay for.

Condition of tee boxes and traps

1. Tee boxes for green tres were almost all in bad condition - very little grass.

2. All the traps had no sand in them - more like a light brown dirt.

Greens and fairways were great - winter rye was very nice. Greens a bit slow.

Good golf course

Golf course was a very good layout. The greens were overseeded and putted very nicely although a bit slow. The fairways were very green but a bit thin due to overseeding. The tee boxes were in rough shape though. Its worth playing because of the layout. Great value for the money. I would play again.
