Greens vs land mines

I’ve played this course many times from 2020-2024 but it seems the last 7-8 times I’ve played, the greens weren’t maintained. I just played here last weekend and the greens were completely full of little weeds about 3-4 centimeters off the actual surface of the green. And I wish I were exaggerating but they’re all over the greens. I’d compare the greens to bubble wrap putt-putt course. The course layout itself is fantastic and it’s a shame the greens have been, and continue to be, in terrible condition year round because this was truly one of my favorite courses to play, and I travel an hour to come.

Additionally the last 5-7 times I’ve played here, during the week and weekend, the pace of play is extremely slow. Every hole you’re sitting on the tee box for at least 10-13 minutes with 3 groups in front of you on the same hole. Every hole on the back 9 was even worse, 3 groups on one tee box every hole. The pro shop needs to limit the amount of golfers they let out or at least give a larger gap between when they send people out. Again, truly disappointing because this course is one of my favorites and I don’t think I’ll be back for quite some time, there are many other courses with better greens, better pace of play, and not as packed within the same driving distance.

Course was good as expected after 8 inches of snow in January

Greens were quite fast. Fairways were mostly brown. But this is regular January type grass.

Greens were wasted.

Probably from too much traffic during winter season.

Bunkers are in great condition.

First Time Playing

Greens were not very good

We played and the course was wet but still challenging. The greens were pretty rough, but playable. We got a cheap deal so it wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t pay $60 plus dollars for it, but I see the potential for the course.
