Disappointed

Course is in terrible condition and I will not be back until course conditions change which will take lots of money. That said its a shame because the staff were outstanding. They are professional, friendly and engaging getting five stars while the course gets one star.

Yardage Markers and GPS

The Crane inro has not been added to Garmins golff app. Still has Evergreeen info on Garmin. Yardage markers on back 9 are almost non-existent. Fix this and I will return.

Dissapointed

Greens were way way way way too slow and shaggy. Like they hadn’t been cut in the few days. Definitely hadn’t been cut the morning of playing

Steadily improving

Midcentury-modern courses often have good bones, and keeping them relevant for future decades is often a matter of fleshing them out intelligently. Under current ownership, Crane Watch seems to be heading in that direction.

A couple of redesigned holes have added some intrigue while keeping the original, relaxed 1970s feel of the place, and the friendly people make it a place worth supporting going forward. If things continue to track well, it is on its way to being one of the better-value courses along the east coast of the state.

Decent Value for the season

Had not played here since last April. Despite all the recent rain, the course was in decent condition.

Good value and fair layout.

We will be back!
