Needs maintenance

Pretty park-like golf course with a lot of trees. Greens were in poor condition, fairways- were rough in spots and weedy on the edges. Needs an overhaul and they had signs saying the course would be closing from May 24- Sept to do repairs.

Bang for the buck ‼️

Nice lay out. Coarse is in good shape. Very little amenities. I was told they would be closing for upgrades at the end of the month. I played at a discount from my GolfNow app

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.

Whispering P.

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.
