I play this a lot and send in reviews but I don't think they pay any attention to these. The course needs water and as mentioned several times some seeable yard markers especially at the 100 yard point would be a great improvement and for less than $100 some painted stakes would do.

It's too bad.

Played this course a few times last year. Have only played a couple times this year. Needs help. The fairways leave a lot to be desired. Greens are semi fast but bumpy. All in all, this course could be bad with a little TLC.

Course with good bones needs time to heal

As a local, this is one of my go-to courses. Moderately challenging layout, tees and greens are decent, but fairways are dry. Need a healthy dose of water to improve the fairways. Pace of play was 4 hours, a little slow but not too much. Value for the money is very good.

Nice course

The course is in pretty good shape. It’s not pristine, but it’s better than most courses in the area. The layout is good. The facilities are nice. The staff was friendly, but the food could be better. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Poor playing conditions

For a private club I’m so glad I’m not a member the course conditions are poor. No grass on fairways. Mostly weeds and sand. Do they ever water? Greens were ok. Not worth paying more than $25 to play. They better get conditions back to where it was 2 years ago. Needs a lot TLC.

The group in front was so slow that I had to quit after 12 holes. Maybe a good idea to have some marshal slow play.

Fun and challenging

The layout of this course is fun and challenging,but, it needs a lot of work on fairways and around greens. Greens,with a few exceptions are fine. Hope new owners are planning on making this course the great course it has the potential to be. Some grass and fertilizer, weed killer and TLC should do it.

Hope to see these improvements in the near future. Prices at this time competitive but any increase without course improvement will hurt attendance.

Course is much improved over last fall. I have never seen so many workers out on the course working on it. Greens are much improved. Love playing this course. If you haven’t played it in a while, try it.

Not worth what they charge

Haven't played this course in years since it was southern woods. Grabbed a tee time for wife and I at $40 apiece and looked forward to it. But The conditions of the tee boxes and fairways were awful. The greens were so so. I refuse to play courses like Rivard and The Oaks because it is like playing in a cowfield, and this was pretty dang close to that. Wife and I actually quit after nine holes because it was just frustrating with the lies we got, even in the middle of the fairways. Won't be coming back.

Fair value

We love the course layout, proximity to where we live and the course facilities. The price was terrific when using hot deals and promos, but grass was scarce on many fairways. This is common on public courses with sand based soils and limited budgets. It was great value for the deal we had.

The fairways are getting better. Some t areas are bad like #7. They really need better yard markers especially for 100 yrds.

Keep improving fairways and t areas. Greens are best they have been in a long time. Need better distance markers. Some painted sticks wouldn't cost much and would be much appreciated.
