Always Great Conditions

Play this course once a year and always look forward to it given its fabulous conditions. Soft, fast greens. There are 3 nines so you never know which 2 you will be playing until you arrive which makes it a bit surprising.

Afternoon start

It started raining when I teed off. That made it car path only which made for a long day. But I enjoyed the layout of the course. Will definitely come back!!!!

Great course and a pace of play

As always, never had a round last more than 4 hours and always play on the weekend. Great staff, course, and conditions. Very welcoming members and I travel an hour to play this course when my normal Saturday group isn’t playing. Always satisfied and impressed. Well done. If I were closer I would consider a membership.

Great Staff, Good Condition

First, it must be mentioned that the staff could not have been nicer. From the folks at the bag drop, and the pro shop and the entire staff. Everyone was fantastic! Unfortunately, we were placed behind a foursome of exceptionally slow players. Had waits of nine minutes on one Teebox and 13 minutes on another. Ranger did his best to move them along but course was crowded enough. There was nowhere to go. Turned what should’ve been a very pleasant Sub 3.5 hour round into 4+. Overall course was in good condition considering the lack of rain and the intense heat. It did show on tee boxes and fairways. All the greens were wonderful.

Burned

University has always been one of the best maintained and favorite coutures in the area ! I have played ther well over 100 X. I played there 7/28/23. The conditions were something I have never seen at this course. Even during the summer months of excessive heat, the course has always been green and pristine ! The course is in deplorable condition ! Every fairway was total burned out not just in isolated spots but in entirety even the area that had green grass I was very sparse and lacked density.
