Needs more time before ready

We had a nice time here this am. Practice facilities still aren’t open and the course needs a bit more mowing after just being opened following the summer. Given another two week or so, this place will be great to play. Today, greens were sickeningly slow and 2nd cut areas and fairways were too long. Understandable given they just opened back up.

Worst conditions ever

Well. Where do I start. First from the very first hole tee times backed up. No Marshall on course to speed play up. Waited every shot. 5 hour round. Course in horrible shape. Fairways 2 inch thick grass. Can’t find your ball in second cut. Must be in fairway or you spend 10 min looking for ball. Greens are slow as ever. Needs a lot of help. Course is waterlogged so with that comes mosquitos. Everywhere. Had bug spray and still eaten alive. Staff was friendly. The only good thing about today. Will not be back.

The course demands good shots to score well.

The par 3s play longer then expected. If you dial in 1 club extra; you will be pleased. I always enjoy playing this course.

Great course to play

Love playing such a great course so close to home. Great pace of play, friendly staff.

The one bad thing is I wish they had a place to buy snacks and drinks during play. They have a vending machine but it does not always work.

Greens are dying, irrigation still a problem

We used to have a membership here. Last year the course shut down from May 1 to Octobet 8th.

Nothing was done to the course all summer. This course was built in 1962! The irrigation system is failing. We didn't feel the course owner cares enough to fix the problems.

It shows on several holes that get overwatered. Some of the greens have bald patches that will get worse when the course shuts down June 1st this year.

It's okay for the occasional round, but I won't waste my money on a membership. It's sad to see this as I used to really enjoy playing here.

Just OK

I expected more out of a resort course. Layout was OK, there were some interesting holes. I got away with a lot of bad shots, because there are acres of rough. Staff was really good. The bar is great and there is a lot of history documented in the photos on the walls.

just OK

Very forgiving, lots of rough and little OB areas. I got away with a lot of bad shots. Course is in decent shape. Some interesting holes but layout is nothing to write home about. I was expecting more from a resort course. Overpriced for sure, this should be a ~$25 round but I played double that.

Great spring golf

This is a challenging course. The courses at excellent condition and we must have timed it right because everything had been freshly mowed before our round. There were a few hot spots but that is to be expected with the heat. I will definitely be back to play again.

Course and greens were in good shape. To much water in a couple of places but was not a bother.

Greens rolled good. Traps had lots of sand which was nice.

Pretty dry

The fairways were pretty dry an hard. Tee boxes very dry hard to put tee in the ground. Greens were pretty good. Our round was very slow, waiting on every hole.

Meh

The course itself was in mediocre condition. The fairways were hard, so we definitely picked up some distance. The tee boxes were shabby, and it was a good grunt to get the tee in the ground. The further into the course we got, the more neglected it got. There’s lots of room for improvement overall. I also look for the little things - the bathrooms were just OK, the cart paths were rough and some had weeds growing through them, ornamental pavers were askew - just things that make the course look sloppy. But, for the money, it was a good way to spend a day in the sun.
