Tight fairways and thick rough.

The greens were in very good condition. The rough was deep and thick. Bunkers need maintenance. The fairways were in decent condition, but any ball not on the fairway was difficult to find.

Nice course but issues being kept up

I’ve played here quite a few times and normally I don’t have any issues. But this time the rough was so thick you were unable to find any of your balls if you hit it there. Course held a lot of water but that was expected with the storm.

Great terrain

I play this course often and I never get tired of it. Some holes are easier but many are very challenging, which keeps me coming back.

Cut the grass

How can you lose a ball 6 foot off the fairway? No sand in the sand traps. Greens were nice but very very slow. I won’t be coming back until they take care of these problems. It’s a shame they don’t take better care of this course.

Maintenance poor

Traps were not taken care of . Many had wash outs. Our group adheres to the rules, but after 3 holes decided any ball in the trap could be removed without penalty. Rough had not been mown for a long period. Finding a ball in the first cut of the rough was nearly impossible. Several balls were lost in the first rough cut. Greens had worm sand all over them. Very poorly maintained!!

Sunny Day on the course

Played this course several times always enjoy playing. Several local storms and excessive rain has damaged the course requiring attention. Course hadn’t been mowed was shaggy, bunkers damaged and flooded with water all unusual for this course. Recommend checking on mowing, cleaning debris and repairs prior to playing. We will return once repaired.

Great layout. Demanding course. Rough is very high and tough. Stay in fairway. Lostballs in rough. Bunkers need work so stay out of them. Greens are great. Layout very challenging. Stay away if you want easy. Play for the challenge. Well worth it.

Great course…AND great value

I play here a few times per month. They’ve done a great job maintaining the course. No one is going to call this course easy, but it’s not the hardest I’ve played either. Some of the big oaks have grown out over the fairway, which will sometimes leave you with challenging shots from the short stuff. It’s also quite long, so don’t be afraid of moving up a tee box.
