Great Layout, but fairways need more water

More bare spots in the fairways than there should be

Just Awful Course Consitiins

Glenn’s are passable but everything else is just awful. No maintenance l, brown and bare ground everywhere. Avoid playing there if you value your time and money.

Fine day on a good course

Overall I enjoyed myself, but like most courses these days it could use more H2O to make the course more green and lush. Unfortunately too many dried or browned out area’s. Greens appeared patchy but the balls rolled nicely.

Much improved Franklin

They’re watering the place again!

Perhaps by charging $60+, they can afford water.

It’s in nice shape and we had a well paced round on a Sat afternoon: 3 hr, 45 min. Fun day.

Trampoline greens

I’d played here a few years ago and it feels like it’s gone way down hill.

Greens were rock hard, fairways were patchy, bunkers were inconsistent. Not worth the $$$.
