Matched up with 3 other players and had a very enjoyable round. Two of the group were very familiar with the course and were helpful with some the holes.

I found the course to bein good shape.

Decent Bang for the Buck

I'd like to give it a 3.5, but I settled on 4 stars. The gentleman in the shop (I wish I could remember his name) was great. I had forgotten my umbrella at home in Oregon and he found one for me to use. The weather was wet, so I was by myself due to low turnout.

The course does not drain well, particularly the back nine, which is flat. I teed off the back first and it was wet in spots. The greens were in good shape however. The back nine is pretty boring. You basically play the same style hole each time - straight and tree lined. Not much variety.

The front nine is pretty good. A LOT more variety and fun to play.

Given the rain overnight I wasn't surprised by the course conditions. It was still playable and I didn't have any plugged lies. The greens were good. I didn't have to fix many ballmarks, which is surprising for a public course. I did notice the bunkers were not raked very often, which you sadly see from lazy golfers.

The value was great. I think I paid $40 for walking 18, renting a rickshaw, and a small bucket of balls.

Greens were in good shape

This course gets a lot of play & for good reason. It has a simple old school design. There are only a few holes that don't lie on flat ground. Basically, everything is right in front of you here. Greens are poa & they are quite tricky. Overall good value golf course. And right now its in great shape.

Good course at reasonable prices - pleasant to walk.

There was a frost delay the day I played and the staff handled it very well. The pro shot staff was excellent and promptly paired me up with a local twosome. Enjoyed the round very much.

Good Outing

Course was in great shape after the rains. What more can I say? Next time I won't write a review. You should ask for a long drawn out synopsis.
