The course is in good overall condition but the fairways are very wet. I had several mud balls which shouldn’t happen in August.

Play It

This is a nice course. Has a little bit of everything, water, traps and forced carries. Requires that you hit it straight most of the time. Greens were in great shape, traps were actually pretty good, best I have seen in a while. Fairways were in pretty good shape, they were over watering today, don't know why. Overall the course was in pretty good shape. I will play it again.

Hot; but it's Golf, so who cares?

Excellent day on the course. Like the COVID procedures. Able to get off early. Finished in under 4 hours. Greens, fairways and most T-Boxes in excellent shape, particularly for this time of year and out hot spell.

Nice local course.

New management company is allowing dry areas on fairways to evolve. . . New white #7 TEE BOX IS DEAD GRASS now.. Time to reduce geese population so seek assistance from Fish and Game Dept. Course is in good shape otherwise.
