Fun course and a challenge for your short game.

Greens need a little TLC but I can see they are being up graded from the prior times we’ve golfed there

Good little course for your money

Course grass is pretty rough.

First off, have played this course for 10 years. Found the greens in very rough condition. Love the course and the staff. Hope by next fall, it will be in better condition.

Will never play there again

The greens were practically dirt or full of weeds and you couldn’t tell where the fairway begun or where it ended. It’s a very short course and I only played it since I haven’t played in 5 months and wanted to work on my swing.

Never Again

In the past 18 months I have played 14 different course in the are including this one many times. The course layout is very nice and challenging for a ayer of my caliber. The Greens have never been great. However the greens ad they are right now are literally unplayable. Hole 8 should be totally redone. Every green has minimum grass and and abundance of silver dollar size weeds. When you putt you have no idea where your ball is going as it bounces off one weed then another. Judging how hard to hit your out is an exercise in futility. The Greens keeper should be fired.

A real shame

The course has nice layout for a short course. It would be a nice course if it actually had grass. In the 40 years I have been golfing I have played some terrible courses and this ranks right at the top. There is no grass on the ter boxes, the fairways or the greens. The greens are painted dirt with clumps of crabgrass weeds. 18 dollars for the afternoon rate on golf now is still too much.
