Great course but NOT after a rainy day

I played this course for years and never had issues. I always enjoyed playing here but recently, I played twice but it was few days after a rain and the course was basically destroyed by the rain and the water didn't drain as well as other courses leaving a lot of muddy fairways and water patches all over.

Avoid playing here after the rain... you will not enjoy it. Just want and go play once the rainy season is over.

Chris

Course was closed. They sold me a round of golf as a “hot deal” to a closed course!!!! It was hot … then golfnow app would not let me cancel or refund me. I was not happy … basically stole 30 bucks from me and then asked me for a review. You suck. That is my honest review …

Wet weather
Walked

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.
