Lots of Hardpan

I only play this course when I'm working on my game and pay around $30. It's never in good shape but it is a good course to walk and get some exercise and it's close to where I live. Keeping score is ill advised as you're frequently hitting off hardpan lies and today it looked as though the greens were recently aerated and done so poorly (i.e., they didn't sand the greens to fill in the aeration holes!). I would recommend this course if you're playing a match play with friends as then your score against par doesn't really matter.

Great Value - Beautiful Course

I had a great time on this course my first time there. The greens were well taken care of. The course overall was in great shape. You can't beat the price. The clubhouse is limited now due to covid and so is the proshop.

Tees need work

This is a decent layout, generally in fair condition. A lot of the tees are currently under repair (or just closed) so the course played shorter with the white tees often moved up considerably from their measured yardages.

Pace of play was good, and is generally reasonable.

Please refund for error of a second tee time

I was charged for two tee times at $52 and I used one for 18 holes. The clerk at the check in indicated I must have accidentally chosen a 9:10 am tee time when I intended and actually used the 7:10 am tee time. He mentioned tha he would verify those facts to GOLF NOW. So o would be issued a refund of $52.
