Greens very slow but rolled true.

Course Needs Serious TLC

I played this course for a pretty good deal to celebrate my dad's birthday. A couple of things that need immediate attention for the course:

Bunkers: currently filled with standing water, rocks, and mud. It was apparent fresh sand hasn't been added in months, possibly years.

Fairways: standing water and mud throughout the course. Also, a few fairways were torn up with dead spots down to the dirt.

Tee Shots: many of the longer holes had blind tee shots with elevation changes. If this is your first time playing this course, be prepared to look for your tee shot for quite some time. There aren't graphics/illustrations/GPS flyovers of any holes on this course, so a lot of the blind shots are pure guesses.

Nice course needs some TLC

The course was in fair condition. The greens were excellent. The bunkers had not been worked, and were muddy, full of water and unplayable. We had to play them as GUR. The fairways were thin, but they should fill in soon with warmer weather. Some of the fairways had large bare areas which will need more careful attention.

Par 5 hole number 10 is quirky and virtually unplayable. I asked several locals how they play the hole and they laughed and said they don't know how to play it either.

The pro shop employees were great! Very friendly and helpful!

The restaurant staff was great, especially Maddie! The food was great!

All in all, it was a very good experience. Hopefully it will be in better condition later in the season.

Course Is Looking Great

For a very busy Saturday pace of play was wonderful. The course is really starting to come out of winter and looking great. Staff as always was amazing. Kallie on the beverage cart was a pleasure.

Members ruin the experience

Winter toll

The greens were in good shape, but there were a number of places where rain runoff created bare, rutted areas. Hopefully withe the warmer weather they’ll attempt to repair these places.
