Bunkers need a little help

Course was in good shape. Greens were very good. Most traps had a lot of water in the bottoms.

The course was very wet the greens were mediocre from what they’re usually like. And all the tee markers were in the rough and there was no sand in the bunkers.

In good condition

Greens are in very good condition. Fairways are good too. Just some patchiness in some of the rough around the greens.

First time here, definitely will be back!

Had a great time playing this course. Starting with the friendly staff, going to the driving range, moving to the putting green and then to the first tee, everything was great. And the burger dog at the turn was excellent.

Overall in good condition

For the most part, the course is playing pretty well. Greens are in pretty good shape. They just started cutting down the rough yesterday. The only bad thing is that there are patchy areas around the collar of the greens. Hopefully those spots grow back soon.

JUST OK

My first play here and it's meh. Nothing wrong with the course per se, it just isn't for me, with the routing through so many houses. Rough was extremely long which made finding balls difficult and affected the pace of play. No GPS in carts or markers in the fairway so you were on your own. Greens in great shape but semi slow although most putts were fair. Strange practice facility layout as well but suffices. Guess this is what $75 gets you these days

Great Course

Considering the recent wet weather, the course was in great shape. Of course, a lot of the traps had water, but that was to be expected. The greens were a little hard but generally excellent shape. Surprisingly good pace of play. The shop staff were super helpful and courteous. The bar seemed to close a little early but we got the last round of beers...
