Terrible shape

Fairways in poor shape. No sand in the traps. No GPS and distances were way off. Greens fair at best.

Tee boxes are very rough.

Several areas of weeds and bare grass in fairways.

Greens were in very good condition.

Good pace of play.

Too many consecutive Par 3's on back nine.

Concession/bar area after round was very good.

Bar Tender was extremely nice!

Could be a better value

Despite the friendliness of the staff the course is a mess. There does not seem to be any maintenance There is a reason why you can play for 15$. If it was cleaned up and better marked I am sure it would be more enjoyable.

Dump some money into this course

Very poor conditions

Started with a great experience in the clubhouse, the lady in the pro shop was very helpful and friendly. Howe ever the course was in woeful condition. Tess and fairways were mostly dirt and weeds., which made it overall not a good experience. On the positive side, the layout is quite challenging and the greens were smooth and quite fast.
