Business as usual, more or less
Third time playing this course this winter. Found the greens slower than usual(?) and a few bare spots here and there. The fairways were generally good but again a few bare spots.

Love Playing Here
Staff is amazing. Always nice and friendly. History of this place is wonderful and always a good time. The course plays long, and trees cause plenty of trouble for novice golfers but always love playing here.

This course had 2 nice water holes.
There were so many gopher holes. I even lost a ball that you could see, but could not pull it out.

Dried up terrible fsirways
Once a pretty cool course with decent fairways, slow greens and ok tee boxes. Its looks like their irrigation died…trenches and wires open on some holes, huge spots of sand/dirt on many fairways, nothing is ever weed whipped around trees or fence lines, it’s worth $35. Hope it can make a comeback as greens were ok but bumpy and long….gem of place is the outdoor bump and run with good service, food and beverage.

They had a sprinkler system failure after oberseesing this fall. The fairways were not vey good on the affected holes.
I like the course layout and with they could get some rain to heal it up. Very long and well laid out course. Just in really tough shape right now!! To bad. Don’t think I can recommend right now.

Fairways in tough shape
The course has gone downhill each year over the past 3 years. So much potential on this course. Sad that the fairways are beat up so bad . Greens were okay. Staff inside and out are awesome. We decided yesterday that we would not come back.
