Great layout, very poor upkeep.

The course layout is wonderful! Clubhouse is huge and beautiful. Too much money spent on clubhouse and none on course. Bunkers in poor shape, greens have sand all over them and don’t roll well, fairways have lots of bare spots, and areas around the greens have weeds and junk grass growing up to 6” tall. Course needs major upkeep, not worth the price at all. With quite a bit of work done this course could be absolutely beautiful! Would not recommend at this time.

Not worth the monry

We have played here before but this was the last time. This appears to be a Country Club Wanna be. everything is self service no cart guy, poor signage and course in bad shape, no ranger. not worth our money. there was a 4 some, a 5 some and us. we finally skipped 3 holes to get ahead of the 4 some and no one was ahead of us for the rest of the round. I think the course is looking for outside play for the extra cash.

Water

There are so many ponds, yet the fairways were dry and greens very slow. Layout is pretty boring.

Great Layout

I always loved this course. It used to be a premier track , but now it’s just average with current maintenance. Not a single sand trap had been raked in a week and were crusty from being wet. Best carts in the area though!!!

Good value

Greens were in very good shape. A couple of tee boxes need some work. Good pace of play despite no marshal. Overall, good value for what we paid.

Pleasant Round

Fairways are dry and rough in winter mode. The greens, however, were receptive and in very good condition. Generally pretty open, but some challenging second shots with water in play.
