Overall, good.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Driving range used floating golf balls. Irons only. Pace was a little slow, but that was directly related to the VERY windy conditions. Greens had blotchy spots, making it tough to putt. Would recommend to friends when greens are healed.

The course needs a lot of work, the fairways were in bad shape as well as the greens.

That area of Marion County had a lot rain, I’m sure the course will be up to par by mid season.

Damaged greens and fairways

It appears the course has not recovered from last year’s turf issues. For the higher green fees I would expect better course maintenance.

Conditions need to Improve

Multiple greens had damage to the greens from last year, tee boxes need work, and there isn't a range here. I would come back to check it out during the summer to see if it improves, but they have a lot of work to do until I would.

Course has really gone downhill

Third or fourth time playing here. Used to love it here, but conditions and upkeep has really diminished. Poor markers around sand trips to indicate, unkept tee boxes, and the greens are atrocious! Due to all the black tar/cracked conditions on the green, the pin locations are right up front or in random valleys between two hills on the green. Some placements felt like putt putt trick hole courses. Disappointed how much this place has been neglected

Course needs work - but the layout is fantastic

The greens and fairways were in dire need of repair. Perhaps they had a tough summer? So many bare patches and spots with no grass on the greens.

Aside from the bare patches and massive amounts of unpatched divots, the layout of the course is fantastic! A ton of well-placed bunkers, water hazards, and other obstacles definitely made it challenging. A few short par 4s made it tempting to try and squeeze an extra 50 yrs out of my driver.

I won’t likely play again there this year; hopefully their groundskeepers can get things back in shape for next season.
