Good value

The course is playable for high handicap players. The fairways were in good shape, but the greens looked water deprived. The staff was pleasant and friendly. The only thing I didn’t care for was the rule of not taking your cart beyond their marker, even with a 90 degree rule, established 100 yards away from the green. This I believe slowed the pace of play to a fault. Most if not all golfers know enough to respect a distance from the green that’s closer than 100 yards.

Nice course on a windy day

Our foursome played on April 15. Unfortunately the wind was a significant factor on this day. Although we loved the course layout, there is some work to be done to improve the course rating. The bunkers were unplayable and the tee blocks had varying conditions.

Course needs much attentioin

Course needs irrigation and much maintenance. Tee boxes uneven and some bare. Fairways are thinning and has many areas that are void of grass. Bunkers are more like brown dust instead of sand. After a two hour rain, most bunkers were full of water and unplayable. Greens are 95% poa annua. Staff was very friendly and cooperative. I would not recommend this course until it undergoes some renovation and maintenance.

Fine course. Some of the greens are struggling and need attention. Other than that the course is fine. Played on a Saturday, so rather slow play but still nothing out of the ordinary.

Will come back.

Bad greens

The greens were patchy, in poor condition.

Putting was difficult due to the bumpy greens.
