This course is in the best shape it’s been in years

Great weather with lots of rain this year plus the traps now all have sand and really great to see this course improve over the last year.

Some of the rough is now pretty thick so you gotta keep it in the fairway.

Still quite a few go for mounts that bounce you along as you drive over them in your golf cart so don’t drive fast. Check with the pro shop starting in late March to make sure no high school golf tournaments are scheduled in the afternoon that will slow play.

Good for high handicappers

Course is in decent condition. Fairly flat and easy to walk. Pretty wide open fairways. The rough is full of gopher holes and there are rough areas that are nothing but high weeds. Can’t find your ball if you end up there. Even though it was busy, it’ll we played in just over 4 hours. Prices are right if you get a hot deal. They also have good pricing if you subscribe to their text deals.

Hadn’t played here in a little while. Good shape mostly.

Found the conditions for winter to be pretty good. Had lots of good looking fairways. The first couple of holes have some overgrowth on the sides so you can easily get in trouble. But not being a pro it doesn’t really bother me. I work for a living.

BTW, I play every other week. There’s not a box for that.

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
