WATER!

The course needs water desperately. Greens and tee boxes are terrible.

Poor conditions

Had not played the course in a year. Conditions are embarrassingly poor give the layout and challenge. The tee boxes and fairways are dirt and hardpan. Hope some rain water arrives sooner than later.

It was the middle of a work day so not many people trying to get on the course. It is also middle of winter so the only green grass was the greens lol. The Marshalls were very friendly offering advice and even talking about other course in a positive light. Hoping they can keep this pace of play close to what it was today when they days get warmer.

Improving conditions

Course is in better shape than the last time I was there. My biggest issue was my white balls were hard to see with the dead grass from winter. It was a little cold but not too bad. I finshed in under four hours.

appearance of a driving range

Fairways are baked to near dirt, and bunkers are mostly collections of dusty dirt, not sand. However, the greens are pretty good!

Horrible conditions

Greens and fairways were in horrible shape, some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Tee boxes looked like they’d been run over by a bulldozer. Plus, they charged a $32.00 spectator fee for my teenage daughter, which is what I paid for the round of golf. You’d think with that kind of price gouging, they’d have the money to pay an average greens keeper.

In very bad shape

Course is in bad shape. Fairways are mostly packed dirt, like hitting on concrete.
