Lost Items

We left our callaway jacket a cover for my Taylormade mini driver and the cover for my 3 wood in the cart . Called the office and they said they have it . Told them to hold it till we get back in 2 weeks . Went there after 2 weeks and told me they dont have it. The manager did not even bother to ask around . My team was asking me if we are going to go back there. The answer is a big NO . Now the next tournament will never be in this course.

Course is in bad condition and pace of play was terrible

Its hard to justify a $50 green fee on a week day when pace of play is about 5.5 hours a round and half the greens are punched and sanded. Wont be back.

Great greens. Overall improved

I have been golfing here for several years and I have never seen the course as good in the fall as it is now. October. 2021. There has been a steady improvement to course conditions and while they still have a ways to go I give them a ton of credit for taking the conditions seriously and making efforts to improve them. Jim, the course superintendent, needs a trophy for the work and dedication he’s put in

Decent course, a little over priced.

Good layout and easy to play but they were watering holes in the middle of the day causing people to miss playing some holes. Greens aren't in the best shape. Lots of dead grass and dirt but still playable.

Course review

Course fairways are considerably dirt hard pan dirt but the greens are suitable The water drop the or course maintenance has taken its toll. It is not worth the $50 greens fees.

Dry, dry and dryer with a bunch of slowness!

It’s been a great course in the past. It just seems the stopped watering it and over book it all will increasing their greens fees. Overall rating 1 out of 10.
