What once was

I had a fond memory of playing here and talked it up to friends. Felt like a fool when we actually got out there to play. I heard new management. Horribly shaped conditions.

This course needs improvement

I played this course on a Wednesday. The pace of play was horrible. The group in front of us could have played from the whites to improve their pace. There was no course marshall to get groups to speed up play. The course itself was in rough shape. The grass was bare in spots. The greens had bird droppings on them.
