Fun course

Very friendly course, from the staff to the course, and the grill.

Really fun, and the fairways are awesome!

Punched greens

With the exception of the punched greens, the course was in “good” condition. This is an old course in need of renovation for the price. It is fun, has long par 4s that make it challenging. The layout is “good”

Muddy

Course was very muddy. But this is not Mathers fault, rather Mother Nature. Greens were rolling ok. I will say the tee boxes are not great. During winter you’d expect work to be done, but we will soon be hitn sunny days and the tee boxes…yikes. I’d recommend the course to a friend when the fairways dry out and the tee boxes are recovered, but as of now I wouldn’t. Staff is always great. Pace of play can be hit and miss, but the last couple times I’ve played here it’s been around 4 hrs.

Walked

first time

that I paid the rack rate through the GolfNow site for the round of golf. Usually, there is a discounted price through this site. I mistakenly assumed that the prices had gone up at the course since I last played, so I booked through golfnow. Checking in at the Pro Shop, I asked what the rate was for my tee time slot if I had just walked in, and it was the same price that I paid through thie golfnow site.

Fast greens but rock hard bunkers

Greens were running fast and true, but the bunkers were rock hard underneath the surface. Marshals were present all over the course, but pace of play was still over 4 1/2 hours, unexpectedly slow for a morning round.
