I Recommend This Course
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

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.
