Beat up.

The course was a bit beat up. It could use a bit of TLC. But you pay for what you get. The carts have very nice seats on them. The cart guy was very nice and wasn't pushy for a tip. The lady at the check in desk wasn't very nice.

Slow Play and Slow Greens

Pace was slow on a very hot week day. Greens have lots of grain and were super slow.. The price was decent but I prefer a faster pace of play. Maybe I just picked the wrong day to play. Tees and a fair number of fairways need TLC.

Good value but 5 hr plus round

Pace of play was not good, over 5 hours. But that can change daily. The course itself was in good condition for the most part. Some bare tee boxes on back nine but they were driver holes not par 3's. It's been very dry in these parts so you can't expect lush conditions. Course layout was good, very generous off the tee, no houses or roads to worry about. For $29 I'd recommend playing. PS. No beverage cart on course.

Needs help.

Tee boxes and fairways need help. Greens will soon. But for $29 it's ok.

Played here for the first time and just heard they are under new management as of May 1st. The course is a fun layout and with the no rain the course is a little dry but in good shape. For the price you can’t beat it. Excited to see where this course goes in the near future!

Hopefully the new management takes care of the tee boxes and a few bad spots on the greens. It is a county course so I don’t expect much when it comes to the rough. Overall greens are good and the layout is great. Fairways need some improving

The price drop in May was great. Course was dry, but lack of rain here. Greens were in good shape. Friendly staff.

New management needs to get on it

So I heard it's new management on here. We'll the course needs urgent care before it slides into oblivion. Tee boxes and greens have been sorely neglected. Needs improvement in all aspects
