Love this course!!!

Played in afternoon after an all morning rain. Course drained extremely well. Tee boxes were a little wet but playable when moved around the box. Greens were sanded a week or 2 before which made them a little long and very slow but beautiful. Course is in awesome shape and can’t wait to play again!!!

Huge improvement

The overall course score has improved from my score of a 3 to 8.

The greens are the biggest improvement with actual having a surface that’s putting constant.

The fairway has grass a n moisture that allows you to hit the ball a take a divot without spraining your wrists.

Again awesome improvements

good but could be wayy better

grass needs to be cut. I know they said their aerating soon but the greens were long and slow. several tee boxes are in poor shape. I will say this though, it rained hard for an hour 4 holes into the round and other than few soft spots the drainage was excellent and by middle of the back nine it didn't seem like it rained at all

Great layout. Great food. Great value.

Excellent layout. Challenging but enjoyable. Greens were in a transition phase and they were being cut behind me so grass was a little long. All in all an outstanding value. Restaurant food is outstanding. Make sure you grab something to eat while there. I highly recommend this course.
