Greens had a good pace and balls landed and stuck even though ground seemed hard.

Good condition

The greens are in good condition. I don't remember any of them looking bad. Running fast and pretty true. Tight lies in some places which gets you a lot of spin. Wide fairways. Played well so I can't tell you about bunker conditions :) overall had a pleasant day. Would recommend for players of any level. Staff is always nice!

Excellent Condition

I had not played this course in a few years, but it was well worth the drive from Chanfder. Fairways, greens, and tee boxes were in much better condition than many courses I have played lately. This is definitely worth the drive from the Valley.

Nice, still rounding into shape

I've read several comments about the condition of this course and I can see that it's getting pretty good. Fairways and greens were nice. Tee boxes mostly nice. Bunkers looked ok but I avoided them. Most of the water hazards were pretty gross. Some of the rough was chewed up. Fun course, looks like different designers on the 2 nines, and the second is a little more challenging and interesting, but overall a pretty nice day.

Lots of driver play

Long par 4s and plenty of par 5s.

Great course for the $50-70 range. One of the few courses I've played where we RARELY waited on the group in front of us or saw the group behind us waiting for us.

Great Conditions

Was not expecting course to be in such great shape . Fairways had plenty grass Tee boxes lot of grass and level . Greens excellent ball rolled smooth no bumps and cut nice . Couple tricky pin placements but that is what is about , Excellent time and rebooked to go back out there . Thirty miles or more from the house but worth the drive and all in our group agreed to go back out next week
