Decent local public
Greens are in pretty good shape, but that's about it. Fairways are basically dirt and some patchy crab grass. Bunkers are like concrete and not maintained. Tees and beat up. Good course to practice shaping drivers off the tee

Great course layout. Course in good condition. There were some water/mud issues in the fairway. The only bad part is that there is no water on the course. The water fountains don’t work.

Great value. You can play with one ball
Pretty much all the holes are exactly what they look like. This course is pretty simple. It’s really wide and allows for some crazy hacks to still play with the same ball all day. Only complaints, the ball wash on the carts have no plugs or water. Some of the ball wash stations were out of water, and the pace of play was really slow. Round took 4h 45m. Still couldn’t finish the 18th.
