Greens and bunkers were well groomed. The tee boxes and fairways had many, many bare spots. Sometimes had to hit off of pure dirt in fairways.

Rough is polite

Tee boxes and fairways are horrible. Greens were ok just long and very slow. This place was probably a great place in about 1980.

Conditions on course.

Fairways were in horrible condition. All disked up no grass mostly dirt. You were better off hitting off them, you would have a better lie. Got better within 50ft of greens and greens were in excellent condition. Fairways have been like this for at least last 6months if not more. Won't be playing there again no time again this yr.

Poor customer service

Greens are very good, otherwise very poor.
Got yelled at by pro shop staff after he directed us to start on the back 9.
Won’t go back!

Horrible tees and fairways

Bring a patch of synthetic grass for mostly every shot. The only thing in good conditions are the greens

Woah Nelly

UNDERSTAND...you can NOT "play golf" in the current conditions. one can however, "practice" and if you get a hot deal for under $20 ..it is only a bit more than a couple of large buckets at most driving ranges, and might be less ! it is a real shame just how poorly maintained this Ross design is... played back in Oct and thought "OUCH" ! but Now...Yikes !!! lost a ball in the fairway ! ...I did know this going in however, well not so bad, but knew it was likely very poor..but approached it as practice AND though I thought, from other reviews " O K can do some putting" do Not think that ! the claims that the "greens are pretty good" to me is a result of a "relative" statement...and yes, relative to the rest of it, o k..but do not think that means good .... evidently a new general mgr for 3 weeks, I was told 3rd in the last 6 mos! the owner seems minimally concerned.... too bad ...but, we all know how important practice is !!!

Great layout!

We had been by this course a thousand times and never played until we found a great deal on golf now. We enjoyed our round and the course very much despite the condition of the fairways. We are told they are under new management which is good because with some TLC this course would be a real gem. We especially enjoyed our after round refreshments. Great price for a draft and Amanda was the sweetest, kindest and most wonderful bartender!

Dirt Fairways

Played for $20 so not too upset but the fairways were literally all dirt. Rough was in poor conditions too, however the greens were in amazing shape and the layout of the course is fun. Just went out to have a good time and moved ball around on tee boxes and fairways to where there was actually a slight patch of grass.

Very Poor Condition

Fairways are dirt. Bring a artificial turf door mat that you can hit off of. Only positives is the greens are in pretty good shape and the water hazards all have water in them. Donald Ross is rolling in his grave.

Course in terrible condition, greens are ok, fairways are mostly dirt, tees mostly dirt.
Shame to see this course in such bad condition, I probably won't be back for at least a year.
