Cold, Windy day; great greens

It was a cold, windy day. Greeens were in excellent condition--good speed and smooth. Tee to green it was typical winter conditions, so expect it to be a little sloppy in areas. Course was drier than I thought it would be, so that was a good surprise. But electric power carts are old. We needed to replace our power cart twice on the front nine (had to walk back to the clubhouse on the 2nd hole), then got another cart replacement after nine holes. Third power cart was excellent--strong "juiced up" battery. I ended up with an excellent score due to eight one-putts and 50% greens in regulation, surprisingly, despite the poor weather.

It’s in the middle of nowhere but great value. The greens were in really good shape as was the course overall. There’s no marshal at this course but it’s never an issue with pace of play. Kid at the golf carts found us and returned a range finder after a cart exchange following the front 9. They have a grill and drinks but even if you bring your cooler you won’t get harassed about it.

Fun course

Course is a fun course to play! Greens are very nice, and fast!

Electric carts are becoming a problem! in each of our last 4 rounds we had to swap out carts that were sputtering intermittently or were about to die. Yesterday we swapped one out for a different one after hole 9 and the new one barely made it through the back nine. Not a deal breaker, just irritating.

Frost delay

There was about an hour frost delay. I was there at 8:15a for a 9:04 tee time. I was advised of the delay and my tee time was backed up to 10:04. at 8:45 I advised Jeremy that I could make my 10:04 tee time. He ask if I wanted to reschedule or go later in the day. Than he asked if I would to tee off with second group off, which was only a twosome. That made my day. It eventually warmed up and I connect with two wonderful gentlemen for a nice day of golf and a 3.5 hour round. Kudos to Jeremy at River Oaks for great customer service.

Always a joy to play

This course is a part of my regular circuit of 3 local courses, and it’s my favorite of the three. Pretty forgiving as long as you avoid the few water hazards. Fairways and greens are in good shape. Some of the tee boxes could use some TLC, but they aren’t too bad. Bunkers are in good shape too with fresh sand.

I hit some of my best drives, irons were ok, and putting was great! Short game killed me though. Gotta work on those chips and pitches.

Well maintained but odd layout

The course conditions were great. Greens rolled well, the rough & fairways were well groomed, and bunkers well maintained. It’s just an odd layout with fairways so close together. Dealt with a lot of errant shots from adjacent fairways coming too close for comfort. It is also a layout that you really need to know where to place your tee shots to be able to have clear approaches to the green - driver not always the best club off the tee.
