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.........

Sad

It seems, the greens are the only part of the course that is getting maintained. The tee-boxes are completely worn-out, the tee markers haven't been moved in weeks.

Great casual rounds

Great course to work on your game. Not frustratingly difficult but will make you pay if you aren’t accurate.

Less than stellar

I was disappointed in this course. It is a bit rundown :(

With some maintenance, it would be a huge improvement!
