The course is in the worst shape that I have seen.

I live next to the course and it is sad to see.

Lovely Course

I played this course yesterday and it was just what I was looking for. It was challenging with water and bunkers but also nice wide fairways. The greens were in great condition. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this course. Loved it!!

Slow play

My tee time was delayed, and after three hours of play, I had only completed nine holes. I waited for at least two groups to tee off / clear the fairway in front of my group on every hole. I was informed that a youth tournament earlier in the day had put them behind, but I have to imagine there is a way to better manage starts and/or police the pace of play to avoid a potentially six-hour round. I had heard good things about the course, and the front nine met expectations with respect to layout and condition. Unfortunately, I still haven’t had a chance to play the back nine. Unless you have a lot of time, be cautious booking a tee time.

Fairways are dirt, greens are super bumpy, bunkers are dirt

Title says it all! By the way, the restaurant was also closed because they had a health department problem… Wow, what are they doing there?

very dry

Liked the course, but at this time it is very dry. The whole area is, so it's not just the course. The greens held true. The course was challenging; especially the back nine. They have a great practice area with several putting greens. Didn't get a chance to try the bar/restaurant, but heard it was good. Busy course, so get there early!
