Course us getting Better!!

They over-seeded which is a great start!

They gave a new owner who’s promised to upgrade the golf course.

So far he’s coming through!

will try next year

Very nice layout but course is in awful condition; greens are terrible. They reseeded the entire course so it was cart path only and quite wet. We had trouble finding some of the tee boxes as they were in the middle of the rough. We were not told in advance of the conditions. however friendly staff and nice layout. We will give it a try next year but it needs time to grow back.

Nice layout

Greens don’t roll true. Are slow now. Recently reseeded so should grow in well. Tee boxes need a lot of work.

This is not golf course

Horrible condition of green and fairway.

Now you even have to pay for range, used to be included.

Are they closing? Don't know, but never going to play there again even though it's free.

It’s a shame

Tee boxes were awful, cart path only which was acceptable if the maintenance people would follow same rules, some areas are definitely in trouble because of maintenance crew Use to be a wonderful place to play. I would not recommend this course.

Go elsewhere!

This course was always a great place to play. Not any longer... Very disappointed with the overall condition!! Tee boxes were terrible, mostly sand. Fairways were marginal and most greens were average at best! Cart path only due to over-seeding. Recommend finding another course! Stay away until they decide to put some effort into this place.

Looking forward to replay.

The course was really good overall. We caught a soft ground day since it poured the day before. It beat us up because of 30mph wind. Course layout only had 1 and 10 downwind. Want to play it with much less wind. Very good condition!

Just really bad conditions

Course was in just terrible, terrible condition, very little grass, dry and brown...really horrible on tee boxes, greens in bad shape. Clearly this course has failed on all aspects of maintenance. Have played this course over the years and was always a nice track. At $40 it was a rip off.

Whats happened to membership here??

Beautiful Golf Day

The layout is fantastic as well as staff friendliness. The course tees can use attention as well as cart paths in various locations. Rest rooms were clean and well located. Greatful that green fees are affordable!!

Terrible Shape

This course is in terrible shape from tee box to green. There is no beverage cart, and the food in the bar is horrible, especially the stale hot dog buns. When we arrived, there were several groups in front of us who couldn’t tee off because they had no carts. The whole place is disorganized. I couldn’t imagine being a member at this place and paying for this type of course and amenities. Go play somewhere else

Nice layout, but maintenance is spotty

Enjoyed the round, but the course needs some TLC. Several tees had no grass at all;; greens were hit or miss.

They have a lot of work to do to get the conditions up to where the should be. If they do, though, the course layout is nice.
