Greens are in rough shape
There are a few greens that are in terrible condition. It appears that they are working on the trouble spots but they are still there. Only recommend playing here with a deeply discounted green fee. I paid $42 thru GN.

Great layout
Conditions were a bit dry but course was still green throughout. Greens were blazing fast. If they thicken up the rough around the greens, it would up this course another level. Tee boxes were clean. Great layout of a course with varied terrain. I played this course a long time ago. Loved it then and love it now. Friendly staff.

OVERCHARGED
Made reservations for 4 and we all played. 12-26-20 (7 days later) I got notified by GOLF NOW that my entire group didnt golf thus they charged me for the other players who didnt golf. I CALL BS! We all golfed and i've tried to reach out to GolfNow, but they have not direct line or contact points...
SAD, they just lost a customer for simply mistake by clerk.

Good shape!
My last review for this course was rough.
They’ve improved significantly. Sand traps were groomed! Hole 1 no longer has a pile of grossness in front of it. They’ve made it into a legit little water hazard. Still not pleased with the grounds within 25 yards of the green. A ton of crabgrass, tough to hit with any touch. Greens are rolling good.
They’ve come a long way.
Fellow golfers:: fix your fairway divots. They give you sand. Use it. Too many hacks out there tearing up the course. Be respectful.

This course needs more attention to fairways
Overall a good course. It could use more up keep throughout the entirety of course. Dead trees, unkept surrounding, lack of watering does create golf difficulties. The Staff was nice , pleasant and professional.
Won’t be playing again until Summertime
