Slow and slower greens
Every green was slow or slower. Every green should be the same pace but a lot faster.

Course Decent; Staff Needs a Lesson on Customer Service
Course was in decent shape for spring. The guy working the clubhouse has an attitude. Gold carts barely work - had to keep turning on and off to get it to work. Should post on the site and in GolfNow is you are doing cart paths only so people know ahead of time.

A sad decline
This used to be the most beautiful, well-kept course but is in a sad state of decline under the current owner. New management fired the head groundskeeper and laid off staff. As a result the greens are rotting away and fairways are town up and full of divot holes. I can no longer recommend and won’t be playing here myself. So sad.

Good Course but getting a bit concerned about its upkeep
I have always liked this course but the past couple of years the course is not being kept up like it once was. Still a good place to play but hope it doesn't turn into a neglected course.

Great course, needs TLC, especially cart paths!
Always a great course to play; one of best layouts in the south suburbs (#7 is a true treasure!), and offers a good challenge - bring your “A” game. Course needs a bit of attention : 1) tee boxes as hard as a brick 2) car paths very bumpy, like that for several years and just getting worse. Greens and fairways quite nice except for a few localized rough spots.

Like the course but I am getting concerned about the upkeep over the past couple of years. Hope this doesn't turn into a neglected facility.
