Decent Track

Tee boxes and some greens in tough shape but not bad overall. Fairways were pretty good. Layout is faire and bunkers were well maintained. Good value for the money.

Crane watch will be one to watch

A lot of work has been done to this course. A lot more to go but it's going be very nice when complete. Currently back nine is much much better then the front. Tee boxes need work , fairways good. Bunkers and primary rough leave a lot to be desired. I will be back to play and see the progress being made.

Ranger needed

The front nine played in 2 hours. About the 12-13 hole things came to a halt. We were so backed up that we took a ride forward and found a foursome with 4 holes open in front of them. I attempted to call the pro shop but I got a recording saying line was busy. When we mentioned that there were four holes open shed to the slo pokes they threw a hissy fit and informed me that they are residents and play at that time weekly and they know the course better than anyone. This course needs a ranger so these interactions between players are not necessary.

Still OK

Crane Watch is a nice layout with enough water and bunkers to keep you thinking - but enough space to keep you swinging hard. I've played it twice within a few months. There has been a lot of talk about the owner making improvements - but the tractors sitting on the golf course appear to be collecting dust. Traps, tee boxes and fairways are average. Greens are hit or miss - some with bare spots, some with weeds. Staff are friendly and its a laid-back crowd. No starter at all this time.

Enjoy playing here

This was the third time playing this course this year. It is a good value and the course has a nice layout, It offers a number of tee options so you can make it as challenging as you want. I will play there again when I am in the area.

Tired

Staff is friendly. Practice facility is probably the best thing at this location - good turf, balls & targets with practice chipping/bunker area w/green. Middle, middle-forward and standard/senior front boxes are heavily used. Lots of debris and leaves everywhere off the fairway. I guess for less than $50 per person, including the cart it is suitable.

We enjoy playing this course. The layout is great and as challenging as you want with multiple tee options. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.We were disappointed with the conditions but that didn’t ruin our experience. We would return.

Great Value

Overall great value, some challenging holes. Some of the greens were a little patchy, however they still rolled fairly well. Potential for a great course if greens recover fully. I would play here again.

No Ranger

Early Sunday morning. One group that went out around 7:30 was jolding everyone up. On the par 5 One group on the grèn ,pne in the fairway and one on the tee box and then we puuled up..Waited for them to tee off. This 4 some was playing from the tips. Two barely made it to the women's tees. The other two slice the ball one left into the water ,the other onto the other fairway. I know its not the Courses fault they couldnt hit the ball.but if a ranger was out there he could have asked them to step it up . Its ok to play bad just play fast. . They need a ranger to keep pace of play moving. Not fun watching the group ahead of you play all day while your waiting to hit the ball

Fun course

We had a fun time playing this course. Only real negative was the condition of the greens. They need some work.

Also the tee boxes. Several didn’t have any grass. Could be a much better track if they fixed these problems.
