Can do better

Bunkers are almost unplayable! And most of the greens are awful! And the price is outrageous for no better shape than the course is in!!

Great when it's dry!

Consistent smooth Greens with lots of bite. Fairways were consistent also and the lies were more than reasonable. Bunkers were firm and playable (for some of us!).

Highly recommended.

Nice value

The course was in very good shape and is returning to being one of the better courses in the area. The greens are the best they have been in a long time. You can see progress on the greens and should be really nice by late summer. Bunkers need a little work and I wish the course would update the carts with GPS layouts for a better experience for those who don’t know the course. Would recommend for anyone in the area.
