Tough shots good greens

Played the tips, shot 81 with the best collection of drives ever. The pins are tough, the greens smooth, soft and receptive. I fix 4 deep ball marks every hole. Greens are fair, very fast but deceptive. My playing partner who can usually hit the ball well, got freaked out by water in 3 places on some holes. Shot a lifetime worst of 127! I think the 80 year old Korean lady, pressing us from behind, beat him by 40 shots!

A Fun Course

We had fun. Bring plenty of balls! Restrooms are closed. Club has installed Port-a-Johns. Not sure what that accomplishes since there was no sanitation procedures. . That being aside; it was fun. And we will play there again.

Sand Traps

Great course with tight fairways good greens and challenging holes that require accurate drives. Sand traps absolutely the worse I've seen ever. But the price was right. Had a great day!

Nugent course so bring lots of balls

This is a typical Dick Nugent layout, not long but a mixture of relatively easy holes and holes that are way too tough for weekend golfers. Holes 2, 3, 4, 10, 13, 17 and 18 are very penal. I'd say on average I lose about 5 golf balls on those 8 holes. I'm no fan of Nugent's work, As I get older (I'm 67), they take more and more fun out of the game. The game's hard enough without having 6 or more penalty strokes a round.

Even playing the shorter tees doesn't help. Course was in decent shape, and the amenities are fine but Nugent courses aren't all that much fun.

Fun course

The course is in great shape, greens and fairways are in great condition. Sand traps need sand, still dealing with recent rains.

Staff is friendly. Bunkers not so good

Course is good for the money it charged. Has the potential for a great course if some money is spent And work done on it

Good layout

Enjoyed the course as there is water that can catch an errant shot - but the course is fair. Very good shape considering the rain that we got. Some standing water in traps and in low areas, but less than other courses this month. Note to staff - I left my range finder on a tee box and realized it about 2 holes later. Located a maint worker (George) who went back and retrieved it for me! Thanks!

Rough conditions

Frustrating conditions as the course was in really rough shape following some extremely heavy rain the previous days. Bunkers were completely full of water and were their own version of a lake. The lakes were overflow onto the fairways as well. Some holes on this course are tough enough in normal conditions and this made for an unpleasant round. I would consider other options if available...

This course is challenging with lots of water

This course is challenging with lots of water, and I will continue to play it as long as the pace of play continues to be very good. Last year things were a little slow and you couldn’t get into a rhythm. Very important to be in rhythm on this course since it is tough with lots of water. As far as a negative my only complaint is the 10th hole which is very difficult for the amateur golfer.
