THE COURSE WAS IN VERY POOR CONDITION EVERYWHERE - GREENS, TEES AND FAIRWAYS. THE SAND TRAPS WERE O.K.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COURSE TO ANYONE WHO HAS TO PAY $40.0O U..S. TO PLAY.

Poor condition

There wasn’t any part of the course that wasn’t in crappy condition. The fairways suck and the greens are horrible. Wouldn’t waste my money on it in the future.

Needs Some Love

This course was probably lovely once, but it is in pretty rough shape. For sure we played in the winter and perhaps simmer would show improvement, but from tee box to fairway to green it just needs love and investment. The shining light was the staff - pro shop and starter were simply very nice people and very accommodating when I had my tee time mixed up (although the course was pretty empty). Bring your sense of adventure (and humor) and have some fun for an inexpensive round with a couple of pretty views and lots of practice on less-than-ideal surfaces...
