Great Municiple Course

Actually played the Pines Course, but it defaults to the Oaks Course for some reason. The course is in great condition. The fairways are green and plush and the greens are also full, no weeds or bare spots. All in all, excellent condition.

Pace was slow because of a fivesome ahead of us. Greens were a little bumpy on some but overall a good value.

Bad Greens

Nice old municipal style layout. Fun to play but greens are in very poor condition. On a 4 foot put your chances of making it even with the proper line and speed are no better than 50/50. Really a shame.

Course in bad shape

Played the course a great deal five years ago and it was in great shape. They have really let it slide. Not a level spot on the tee box and all torn up. Fairways were full of divots and dead in spots. Greens had weeds all over. Used to be my favorite public course but will have to look elsewhere.

Pace of play is horrendous!!

Since the Pines is partly open the Oaks has been severely backed up. Atleast 5 hour round. Greens are patchy so putting is inconsistent. Can't wait for the Pines to be opened.
