Greens and Fairways gone!

Usually this is one of my favorite courses...has a great layout and priced very reasonable! Not sure what happened or what the maintenance staff did but the greens are pretty much gone and the fairways are in terrible condition.
The greens are so bad that they have dumped sand that has been dyed green to make them look better. You can hear the sand crunch when you putt on them.
I would not recommend playing here for at least a month till they get the greens and fairways back. I will go back once they have it under control again!

A nice layout with scenic holes, but needs work.

This is yet another course that I came to after seeing high reviews from other players. This course also does not overseed for winter. Their greens however were in a state of chaos, there are a lot of bumps in these fast greens. They are also spraying some kind of fertilizer that is unduly changing the smoothness and speed of the surface.Coupled with the uneven grass, it makes reading a putt difficult, if not impossible. The layout was better than average and a few of the holes are nicely scenic. The course however is currently not living up to it's hype.

Very tight, tree lined Course

We did enjoy playing this course although we found the fairways very narrow and you had to be very accurate, especially with your teeshots. On saying that we found it very pretty, especially the back nine.

Great Course to Play

Great Course to play. Good variation in the layout. Some long par 5's, but love the reachable in 1 par 4! Good value for the money. Beverages are reasonably priced and the course is always well maintained. Add this course into your rotation of courses to play.

A nice layout. Not overly difficult but a fair test.

The course was in pretty good shape for being the winter. The tee boxes are a little rough but the course and greens were in good shape. The back nine is a nicer layout as it meanders through trees more and less through homes.

This course is really beautiful and fun to play.

I inadvertently left my wallet in the snack bar. The course marshall tracked me down and returned my wallet. Then he refused to take a reward. This made my trip even more rewarding and I am extremely grateful.

Decent Course, but nothing special.

This is a decent course, but nothing special. The staff was a little dismissive to our group and the greens were in terrible conditions. Also, the range faces the sun rising so its hard to see your ball travel before your round of golf, little wierd setup. I personally try to avoid this course when I can.

Plays fine - amenities need improvement

Champions was right about in the middle, in terms of experience. It played all right, and we finished in 4 hours despite being stacked, but they need to build restrooms out on the course, and also install ice/water machines. I'm also a little bent that they only cleaned my clubs and not my wife's for what we tipped them. I wouldn't have any trouble playing here again, esp. now that I know what to expect - but there are too many good courses in this area for cheaper to make this a recommend.

Decent course, decent shape... It's just not the best in the area.

Pace of play was great and I saw a lot of kids in the practice area. It seems like a good place for families. I am sure it is popular with all the residences in the area.

The greens are in good but not great shape. The tee boxes are in need of improvement. Several were un-even and were struggling to grow grass. The weather has been too good for that! Cutting some trees may help but...

The fairways are also in decent shape but have a few rough areas.

The layout is fine but it is a true neighborhood golf course. I definitely would not walk. It is pretty tight for high handicappers but not overwhelmingly difficult either.

The course was in great shape

The course was in great shape, although the greens were just a little slower than I like. But they were in very good condition. They held every shot. The fairways were also in great shape.
