Course is getting to be in fantastic shape, especially the bunkers. Some greens are in need of a little help but overall it’s a wonderful place for golf.

Needs attention

Great layout, course needs some TLC.

Fairway grass is sparse, some tee areas are pretty bad, they've punched them but unplayable. Most greens were in pretty good shape but super slow, a few need a lot of work.. They've been working on bunkers and most are good, hopefully they'll start concentrating on the rest of the course. I'll try again in a few months to see if it's progressed. It's a really fun course to play.
