course review

first time playing there in a couple of years. sand traps have greatly improved. putting green and several greens on the front nine had clumps of poa annua growing severely effecting the pace and accuracy of your putts. greens were slow overall but at least they were consistent. played course as a single and two foursomes allowed me to play thru on #3 and #14 respectively so pace of play was good. fairways are not as hard due to increased growth of grass resulting with better lies. but could still use some improvement. tee boxes had high newly planted grass which needed to be mowed but was much better than being sparse.

Best it's looked in some time

course is in its best shape in some time, played here several times last year and either the teeboxes were bad when greens were right or greens were messed up. course looks great currently, bunkers even played well. Glad to see the improvements. Also happy they changed out the mostly destroyed tee markers.

Great course

I loved the course. I really liked the big cypress knees out in the fairway to give you something to aim at.

Huge overall improvement

I was very impressed with the overall condition of the

Course.

Greens were very well groomed an well watered

Fairways were mowed leaving the right length of grass.

We have had a high level of rain but this allowed the course manager and his crew to properly groom the course.

Overall on a one to ten scale I would give the course condition to be a nine plus

Noticeable Improvements

I haven't played the course in over a year and it is getting back to where it once was. The improvements are definitely noticeable. The sand traps are in much better condition (a couple of years ago they were filled with weeds). The fairways and rough are in good shape. The greens are a bit slow, but they do roll true. The pace of play was excellent. I played 18 holes in 2.5 hours. I would recommend playing, especially at the Hot Deal rate.
