Crane Watch Club

The course had fallen on hard times. Fairways are full of weeds and several of the greens are so patched they are almost unplayable.

In the past few years, they have put a lot of money into this course, and all of a sudden it took a nose dive. I was going downhill! I don’t know if the owner died or what happened, but it went from four down to a 10 in my ratings I would not suggest playing this course until they fix the problems. They don’t have court pass so they close more than never opened during the summer or you have to walk which is 7 miles around.

Another booking that they didn’t mention the course was all torn up!

They’re changing the par 5 17th into a par 4 taking all the water out of play. There’s a temporary green

This course will be a very nice course. Once they finish all the repairs and work on it greens are in good shape, but all still aerated, and some holes were still on the construction.

Course condition is very very poor. I’ve played here many times over the years and this was by far the worst I’ve seen it. Punched greens. Most greens were dirt with very little grass on them. Lost of course construction with a temporary hole on 17. Tee boxes with little to no grass. It was hard to have a good time with such poor conditions.

Despite a downpour the previous night (that the course can't control), the overall condition of the course was awful. Not the Evergreen conditions played previously. Greens were punched and burned out. Several bunkers were flooded. No warning provided by GN either. A few new tee boxes (temporary tees) and a temp green #17. The course was sopping wet from the prior night and only allowed carts in rough - the course did send an email out in the morning with this info. Honestly, the course should be closed until renovations are completed and maintenance has a chance to improve tee boxes and greens.

Some issues on greens or tee boxes in terms of coverage or it would be a five. Even so, it was good value and interesting and enjoyable. I will play again.

I love playing at the Crane. Course needs drainage work badly. I know they are working on the course to make it better. The employees are really nice.

You should mark 200, 150, and 100 with pvc poles that are blue, white and red. This would both improve pace of play and enjoyment of play. Pretty easy fix for a large impact.

Prepaid in advance and when I showed up today the course was closed. Don’t know how to resolve thru the course or GolfNow but this is a disturbing situation!

The round was good and they are working on the course. Nice to see money is getting spent on it.

Greens were slower than other courses I have played and had distressed areas. Fairways were decent with a few thin areas. Most tee boxes were good, but one was dirt.

Staff was great and pace was good at 4:15 on Saturday morning.
