Tees and traps were in ruff shape. Greens had some bare spots. Layout was good and the staff was amazing. Well worth the on line fees.

wrong direction for a wednesday

staff fine, course rough all over, carts turned down, not much oomph for one player. weather improved throughout round, but fairways, tee boxes and some greens really need some tlc. quick pace, though so overall, a good time...but course can be better and quickly.

Fun with a many challenging holes, but ...

Fun with a many challenging holes, but the greens had not been cut and were sooo slow. Fringe and fairways were spotty. Many tee boxes were mostly dirt. The rate was OK for the condition of the course, but it really needs some TLC to meet expectations. If the greens were excellent (as nearby NSB Muni is) all else can be overlooked.

Much Improved but the greens still need work

The tees and fairways have come a long way from last summer. It was so bad last summer that we stopped playing this course. The greens still need work. They have bare spots and weeds. They were bumpy and slow. When they greens come back so will we.

Great value!

This course is close to me and I love getting quick 9 in before work. Staff is always super friendly. Course is in pretty good shape, greens could use some attention but they look to be trying. Nice layout some elevation holes (for FL), holes with and without water that comes into play. Love having this place close to home.

LOOK AT THE COURSE BEFORE YOU PAY

Very rough and dried out conditons. Bare spots on tee boxes, fairways and greens. Conditions warrant emergency assistance or they will lose the course.

There was almost no grass on the fairways and greens were patchy and hardly mowed so very furry. We were very disappointed because it is a good layout.

Tough but enjoyable course.

Not the cheapest but reasonable value for money. It’s one of those courses that you’d play better the second time around! Accuracy off the tee was vital on some of the holes.

Fuzzy greens needing mowing and rolling

Not bad for a very dry March. Lots of the fairways were quite thin and bare in some spots. They are trying because I see aeration holes in quite a few places. Front nine basically flat and wide for landing zones. Back nine needs good shot making. You can get in trouble swinging all out. Greens mostly OK with a few bare spots. Needed cut the day I played. Slooow! I'll go back when I want a flat course.
