Finished in under four hours for a foursome with me being the only walker in the group; definitely the highlight of the day. Greens were a bit inconsistent and shaggy. Bunkers had heavy wet sand. Fairways have good coverage and tee boxes were ok. Looks like they are either removing/covering some bunkers or killing weeds and repairing others. The employees in the pro shop early Wednesday mornings are nice guys.

Above average

Played just over 4 hrs due to slow players in the last 3 holes. Place was great due to greens are almost back to normal after aeration. Fairways were in decent shape and no issues at all.

3:20 Tee time, finished 18 walking

Course is in great shape, barely any patchy spots in the fairways, greens are a bit slow, and have healed up very nicely!

Course was fun

The course was in pretty good shape. Greens we about 95-97% healed from being punched. I hadn’t played here in 11 years. Nothing bad to say. I had fun. Look forward to playing again when I find a tee time. Super hard to get tee times here.

One more week and it’ll be PERFECT

As long as they cut the greens and fairways and make them nice, and leave the rough alone, and then rake the bunkers, it will be the best it’s been in YEARS. It hasn’t had this much grass in 20 years
