What happened to the greens?

The course has been in great shape for years, ever since the irrigation was redone. The greens are suddenly in sub par shape for my last two rounds here. I heard they got a new guy who is triple-rolling them, but haven't verified this. Need to keep the greens resilient the way they have been! Great course otherwise. I'll leave another review if I see the greens improve.

Great day!

It was an extremely hot day but the coarse and greens were in great shape despite the heat. The staff was great, they even had a guy come around with a cooler of ice water during our round which was much appreciated. Overall great day!

Gold is great here

Had a wonderful round here. Course was in great condition. Staff was super friendly. Highly recommend this place. Price is lower then pay but do not think that takes away from an incredible time.

George is the best starter around. Brandon always doing a good job managing everything. This course gets a lot of play and they still keep it looking solid. Always a fun round.

Ok shape not 4 stars

Greens were good, fairways not so much Fairways were thin in many areas. Greens were pretty good other than a lot of ball marks not fixed by players. Hilly course with greens on the par 3 holes being very downhill while a lot of approach shots on par 4 and 5’s bring very uphill. Staff was very friendly. Decent value for the money.

Good shape

Given the course a break. Some of the fairways were soaked in spots. Greens in good shape. Staff friendly. Some fairways are blind shots. If you don't have a GPS that shows where the carts are on front of you....be careful! Have one of your carts drive ahead to see if it is save to tee off. Prices went up this year. Veteran discount available. Some holes I like because of the elevation on them.
