Bad shape

Horrible condition. So many of the greens are dying and are super slow. Tee boxes are destroyed from the players and the birds eating everything

First Time Playing

Solid Choice and Great Staff.

This is my first round for playing four days coming down from New York and I think it was a good choice because it’s not so hard and not so tight but still a good challenge. Solid 4 stars shape not great but I’ve seen a lot lot worse. Greens had a bit of sand on them, but rolled very smooth and true. We played winter rules and everything was fine. Nice holes nice variety had a great time and the staff was wonderful. I needed to charge my phone to be able to take an Uber and I had three people looking to see if they could find a charger and then finally a kind woman in the restaurant was able to find one or else I might’ve been stranded. lol. I think it’s worth putting on the rotation if you’re coming down for three or four or five days.

Nice day playing golf.

We had a good time playing with a couple from Canada. Pace of play was good. Course was good but not perfect. Most of the greens were good, a couple were really sandy. Overall we had a good time and will be back.

Hit or miss

While the practice facility is very small and limited to 205 yards or less, it’s tough to warm up before your round. The putting green has seen better days. Course greens are slow but consistent. Pace of play is horrible. They let just about anyone go out and play.

CRANE WATCH PLAY

COURSE NEEDS WORK AND GREENS ARE IN ONLY FAIR CONDITION. Beautiful homes surround the course and lots of cranes and other birds to watch. Probably a little expensive for course conditions.

Course was in good to condition, but apparently undergoing some new or altered layouts. Some greens were much better than others. Still for the money it was a bargn!

It used to be a hidden gem

Not sure what has happened to this course. Multiple greens have been replaced or in the process of being replaced. We played a few temp greens or new greens that replaced more enjoyable greens. 90% of the greens were poorly maintained, they were scalped or basically putting on dirt. The tee boxes are also being moved to make the course shorter? I would assume the members complained it was too tough and they making is easier? I have played this course multiple times, and this will be my last.

Its coming back

We have played here often and the staff inside and outside are always terrific. The course conditions went south a few months back, but have rebounded very well in the last few weeks. We will definitely be back.
