Course conditions need improving

Overall good. Need to seed the fairways. They are much improved after new irrigation system installed last year but still too thin overall plus there are numerous potholes and bare spots that could easily be repaired - I know because worked on the grounds crew at golf courses for 10 years. Also there is serious erosion on the down hill portions of the fairway on 5 and 16 but worse on 5.

Value for your money

The course is good value for the price. It's a municipal course so if you keep your expectations in check you should be pleased.

Great Balue

Good course that is forgiving for high handicappers. The fairways and greens are in good condition. Turf is thin in spots and some greens need attention but overall great value. Above average practice facilities ( driving range, chipping and putting greens). Staff friendly. We will return next winter.

Golf course

It was a decent course. I think it’s really only worth $25 at the most. Course layout as great but the greens and fairways aren’t the best. Good course to warmup on or for beginners.

Greens Bumpy

Good value, but lots of poa annua on greens makes for bumpy putting surfaces. Played in well under four hours. Course conditions OK except for greens.

You give most everything an Excellent even though the course is not in good shape. If you are an advanced golfer that good, you ought to know none of the categories are excellent so your review is obviously a fake of you're totally lacking of knowledge - Snowbirds go home!

Pretty good

Greens weren't in very good condition. Fairways and course layout were really good. Fairways we're fair width with a chance of scoring. Waited a little on every hole but still finished in a very reasonable three and a half hours Overall a very good experience.will play it again on my next time in the area.

Great pick

A real price-performer. Was worried we might not finish with 2 pm teetimes, but got out early and finished in just over three hours, great for a foursome.

Condition overall not bad

There are some significant washed out areas especially on holes #5 and #16 that seriously need fixing. These holes have serious downhill slopes so that makes it hard to get in good condition. They probably need to redesign those areas to prevent erosion. Could also use more grass in the fairways
