Over priced, poor condition.
$58 for a course that is almost falling apart, you have standing water on fairways. Greens covered in sand and decaying. Tee boxes are just a mess. For $58 you could play literally anywhere else.

Surprised at the condition
I had a great time. Greens were a little fast, but in great condition. Tee boxes were about 50%-70%. Pace was 4 hours for 18. I’ll be adding this to my usual rotation of courses!
