Greens are bad right now

Still like this course, it's where I started to learn and play. Course conditions could be better, with greens uncut and unrolled, they were rolling slowly and were affected by the grain. Lots of dry spots around the greens, but fairways were pretty healthy looking for the most part.

for the price and a relaxed day of working on my swing, it was good

Turkey Haven

This used to be my home course but not my favorite golf course in the area. Lot of potential to be a great course if properly maintained. Overall, it's a haven for wildlife especially turkeys. Brent rocks!!!

Good time at Franklin Canyon

Really enjoyed playing a traditional canyon course.

Greens are well cared for and pace was excellent.

No food available after 4:30 PM☹️

Even though the pro shop was open there was nothing available to eat or drink after 4:30 PM yesterday. Seems unreasonable to me that the golf course can’t even offer a candy bar or a bottle of water to a hungry customer.

☹️

The course is not in good condition. They need to water more and reseed the fairways. It is like hitting on hard pan in the middle of the fairways.
