Transitioning

They course layout was fine. Some very interesting holes, I think they are fun. Unfortunately the GPS didn’t know what hole it was on so yardage and hazards where unknown. Selecting the right clubs was impossible.

The grounds needed attention. Mowing, cleaning etc. No driving range, being developed into housing.

The staff and price of this course was very very good. The course layout as well as the condition of the tee box’s and the fairways did however turn me away from this course. For an average golfer the fairways tend to be a little tight because of all of the surrounding houses which I wasn’t a fan of.

Construction

There's aot of construction (or destruction as the staff called it) going on. The driving range was demolished to make way for more housing. The course it's self is in good shape and the staff is really nice. The normal price is a little high considering there's not much in the way of practice area but I'll go again when GN has a discount.

Has gone down since I played about 5 years ago. Lots of weeds and clover in fairways, around tees, and around greens. Greens were in good shape. Confusing starts on Bay and Marsh courses. Not sure why foursome was started in front of us (twosome) on back nine… waited on every hole.

Construction Changes Course(Not for the better)

The driving range has been given over to condo construction. Same is true for #1 and 2 holes. Sad.

New holes not yet groomed @ tee boxes etc. What was a nice place to practice and play has changed, and not for the better.
