Neglected

This is a golf course that I always liked to play. Nice layout and large greens. However I feel it is being neglected! The greens are in very poor condition and the T boxes are in need of maintenance.

I won't be back..

Decent for fall golf

Last minute decision to play and Ariss was available.

Played alone. Starter got me on before a foursome which was great.

Fairways were in ok shape. Some burned out spots and bare spots I wasn't expecting. Ground overly hard in some spots too. Greens were ok.

Giving the benefit of the doubt that it's mid-October. Haven't played here in the prime golf weather in years and years so can't compare. But compared to other places I have been to in the past few weeks, Ariss was ok. Decent value when booking on GN.

Would recommend and need to play in the summer next year.
