Love the course but saturated due to rain

Cart part only. Bunkers were in bad condition but they’ve have lots of rain and only a few days to dry out. Greens are in great condition and rolling about 9.5. Rest of course was really wet but playable.

Break in the rain

This is one of the best places to play after lots of rain - it drains exceptionally well and the greens were in great shape. We really enjoyed the first good weather day in last 2 weeks.

Would give it 5 stars and it’s not their fault that it was a little muddy. Had record rain fall. Love the layout and considering the rain amounts it actually drained pretty good. Haven’t played here in a few years but plan on coming back soon. Let it dry out a bit first.

The greens were in great condition and seem to roll true. My first time seeing a par 3 finishing hole. Overall a good experience.

they let a 6 some out

I noticed a group of women in holiday garb at the practice area. The starter let another group out ahead of them. I joined a group(as a single) after them. They went off the first tee as 4 and 2. After that they joined up and created a bottleneck. Starter said they all know how to play and will pick up and move on - they didn't - and when they couldn't keep up with group ahead - marshal flirted with them and got them more out of position. Who lets a 6-some play - and on a FRIDAY

Not in very good condition

Wow, I was shocked. The last 2 times I played, it appears that a new greens keeper may be needed. They claim the water pump went out and they could not water. What....no back up plan. What about a water truck? Not sure water has to do with the weeds in the T-boxes and the women's restroom not working for almost a year. Not worth the money at this point.
