Sadly it’s changing

The course was great throughout the winter and early spring. Now the fairways are drying out and the grass is disappearing. The greens are still fine and it looks like they will keep them in reasonable playing shape. I’ve always liked this course and have played it many times over the years. It seems like every year the same thing happens. They get the fairways in a reasonable condition then let them go.

The staff, the practice area, the grill and even the pro shop at great. The greens fees are reasonable but not if they don’t keep the fairways up.

Hectic

Management does not control activities on the course. We had 1st tee time of the morning and numerous groups behind us rushed out to open holes in front of us . Players were jumping all around and several started off the back nine which slowed us down when we made the turn. One elderly gentleman was on hole 16 playing by himself and playing three balls each hole. The last 3 holes took us an hour to play behind him.

Won't play here again.

Had to check it out for myself

After seeing all the poor reviews I had to check it out for myself. I use to play here quite a bit and even considered it my home course for awhile.

I was pleasantly surprised by the condition. Tee boxes had just been worked on but fairways were in good shape and the greens still rolled well, Pace of play was a little slow but you are always gonna have people trying to give lessons while they play. But a beautiful day and the threesome I played with were good company. Getting ready to move soon but I wanted to play The General and stop and see my Dad who is buried on the other side of the driving range.

Had a great day.

Not my usual good experience

I assumed the course had been aerated when I saw the discounted rate and that one-half of the course might be closed, which means I would probably have to play half the course twice to complete 18 holes. But I did not anticipate an hour delay to start the repeated of the first 9 holes because of a tournament that begins as I finished the first 9 holes. So I could not wait and finish an hour later, which would make me late for a previous appointment. I would not be as upset If I had not used my $15 credit. I"m hopeful that Golf Now will allow me to recover the credit.

Needs a lot of wokr

With the high demand for golf these days, it would be nice to see General Old use the money they receive from many slow unmonitored golfers to keep up the course and facilities. Weak marshals only on their phones, a starter with no personality.
