The short rough was a little. The ball could hardly be found.

Not in good shape

I have been playing this course for almost 15 years and yesterday was the worst I have ever seen it. All the bunkers have been washed out and on hole 16 the bunkers have grass growing in them. I do not plan to play here anymore soon. The course needs a lot of attention.

Was Excellent

I played this course about 2 weeks before this round and the course was excellent. It’s amazing what 2 weeks can do to a golf course. The greens had divots everywhere. People need to fix there divots

Great Value

Beautiful fairways and well maintained bunkers. Greens weren’t perfect but very nice nonetheless. Really good price for a very nice course.

Good course: no starter

This course desperately needs a starter. People jumping on the first tee box when ever they are ready, twosomes, threesomes, going out with tee times set for foursomes being paired. Get to the tenth to find someone starting on the back first. Ask for a Marshall to address, only person that came out was a kid in pajamas, just to pass by. Greens need some work from players not fixing divots.

Needs Help

Greens are going bad. Members don't fix there ball marks, and the greens keeper is letting in a bunch of weeds on the greens. Other then the greens the golf course is in pretty good shape.

Excellent shape

Haven’t played this course in awhile. Too my surprise this course is in excellent condition. My only problem was the bunkers need some attention.

Course is Good. Everything else is not

I’ll start off with the good. Course is in good condition. And typically always it minus some tee boxes littered with broken tees. What gets me is this is the second time that I’ve played on a holiday weekend and not only is the restaurant always closed (which means your only choice of beverages or drinks is m&m’s and chips to powerades and cokes and waters) but they also have no beverage cart on the course. Was told they wouldn’t be there until 12pm and by that time we were already on 17. There’s no Marshall so pace of play here is essentially unheard of. Never played a round of 18 here in under 4.5hrs. Top that off with the lady that always works the desk at the pro shop always has a smug condescending attitude. This course charges premium rates for weekends with nothing about it being premium other than it’s a good track.

Can definitely attest to the other reviews of how bad the bunkers are. Terrible condition. Some greens in very rough shape, and most tee boxes in rough shape. For the money it’s average but definitely not worth a penny more
