Great Layout

I played back 9. Super friendly staff, gave great advise and provided a play book. Course condition could be better but I really enjoyed the layout. User friendly but still challenging.

In rough shape

Tee boxes were nothing but dirt. Fairways extremely dry and patchy. Greens covered in unrepaired divots. Will not be going here again.

Sad

I've played throughout the years and though it's not a great course and it's narrow its always been a course you can walk on and get out right away and get a quick 9 in for your fix. It will challenge you to hit straight. It had been awhile since I played but the course and it is in the worst shape I've ever seen it, everywhere you go in the cart your constantly bouncing up and down due to gopher holes everywhere. Greens are the only thing maintained, other than that the rough is weeds and fairways are 50% dead and in terrible shape. Bunkers are ...well I can't even call them Bunkers. Course should be charging $10 to play. Very sad

Soggy greens

Several greens on back 9 were flooded and soggy. Standing water made it squishy when walking and putting. We just picked up and took auto 2 putt.

Not well maintained

If you don’t hit the center of the fairway & green then it’s a lost ball.

Greens were the only thing good about the course

Pro shop staff was friendly, food and amenities were poor quality. You had to go into the cart barn to go to the bathroom. It was a short course made difficult by giving you blind tee shots. To narrow sloping fairways where even when you hit the center of the fairway your ball ended up in the right or left rough. Frustrating

It's been awhile.

Since the last time I have been here (1year ago). The course has been worked on and I see improvement. I was pleased with the landing areas in the fairway and greens were good. I believe the course is heading in the right direction, keep up the maintenance. Good job.........
