The course is coming back.

The course is in pretty good shape after the cleanup after the storms. The pace was great. The staff is always very friendly. Great layout.

Absolute dog track

New owners are driving it into the ground, course conditions continue to detonate. Obvious money is not being put back into the facility.

It’s getting better!

The course conditions continue to improve.

The layout is good and the course challenging.

Happy to see it bouncing back. Still a lot of storm damaged trees around the perimeter, but it did not affect our round.

Goat track

Whoever owns this course needs to invest in a riding mower and actually cut the grass all around the entire property especially the second cut of every fairway

Not Fun Spent more time looking for my ball than playing

Course needs a lot more work, Grass bordering fairway was so tall you could not find your ball. If you did find your ball you couldn't hit it. Rest room trash can was overflowing. No water on course so you have to go into clubhouse. Went in to get water and cooler was empty. Does not give you a good feeling course is improving

Wait till the rain stops for a while before trying this course.

NOT a pretty course. The course has been poorly managed IMHO. The course needs work, particularly the fairways and at least first cut.

The Good!

Greens were maintained. Which was weird considering we found balls on the first cut off the green. Like a foot off !

Maybe they haven't been cutting because of all the rain. Maybe not. For now. It's rough.
