It was saturated with water sitting, but like this course!

It was a few days after heavy amount of rain again, so it was no electrical carts allowed. This course is very walkable and flat, so no big deal for me. The course was saturated and there was standing water in several areas throughout the low spots of the course. I will definitely come back and play soon! It is usually in good condition and after all the rain, it should be a nice spring with golf :-)

Could be great

With a little more love for the tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and cart paths this course could be really nice.

Courses was mush. Too moist and soft all over. Especially the greens. Pretty awful to putt on.

Greens were all too moist and mushy and bumpy. Just really bad.

The rest of the course is getting the benefit of the rains and the cold weather and grass is starting to grow everywhere which is good.

But man, why do people just drive wherever they want even if it’s marked off and tear up the place? Why does the course let carts out when the course is too muddy and soft and people will tear it up??? It’s so sad.

If the greens had been acceptable it wouldn’t have been so bad.

Nice course

This course is flat and has wide fairways. Perfect to gain one’s confidence back after a rough outing. For the price it’s a great place to play.

Why was the Range closed when there was teacher with a student on it hitting a full bucket?

Absolutely shameful. The range was closed on a day when it was barely raining, just a light shower all day, nothing heavy. But they had a teacher out there with a student with 2 full buckets at the ready, assuming that the teacher was going to have more students this day. Unconscionable.

The course needed this rain. It was almost dead. So many brown areas of grass drying out. Lets hope the rains help to bring the grass back, because the place looked bad. Greens had small holes.

I don’t understand!

Normally, when I pay at the starter, they’ve been giving me my own cart (due to Covid). But since I received a credit from the app that I used meaning the round was a prepaid, they wouldn’t give me own cart and expected me to share a cart with someone I didn’t know. Meantime, the other individual did not want to share. So I couldn’t play anymore since it was time to tee off and they were putting me to a later tee time. I don’t understand why couldn’t they assign a single cart for me when the 3 other players had their own.
