Thanks for being open on Thanksgiving

The only downfall was the greens (but they did have they overseeded, so it was expected). I can't thank you and your staff enough for remaining open in the morning to allow folks to play on Thanksgiving. Not everyone has family to be with and the normalcy of play makes it much easier to deal with the holiday if you are alone! Thank you!

great layout, but course conditions notiso great

The fairways were passably playable, but the greens were in sad shape. We live in upstate New York, where the opposite is often true. Probably lost 9-10 strokes on bumpy, sometimes bare greens. Interesting that the women's tees on some short holes gave a major break, but on some of the par fives were ten yards forward of the geezer men's tees.

pleasantly surprised

Wow...gorgeous course, especially for the price. For those complaining about the greens...get real...unless you are a pro , you can accept the average greens...

Not a walking course..I was tired just using the carts..

And if someone finds my Callaway Mack Daddy 60* wedge that I lost on the back nine, please turn it in!!

Tee boxes & greens need some serious work. Fairways were decent. I did have the fastest cart I have ever been in! 2 some played in 3 hours.

Bad greens very bad

The overall conditions of the course were good, but the greens were so bad they matched the exterior of the clubhouse run down, sad because again the course was in good condition.
