Great Course

This course has seen plenty of work in the past year are so. Course was greatly improved, most greens in really good condition and some bare spots in fairway but overall good condition. All this said, play the course, great layout, beautiful setting. and friendly staff.

Still keeps improving!

Great improvement in overall conditions in just 2 weeks. Fairways, tees, and greens are all very good. Worth the trip.

Aerated greens and tees, but not bad

The greens were just aerated with a light top dressing of sand. Most of them putted very smoothly with medium speed. Fairways are starting to come in nicely. There is a lot of work being done on the course, including some tree removal to provide more sunshine on tees. In a few weeks of sunshine and rain, the course should be excellent.

Poor Management and horrible Green/ tee boxes conditions

We were all jammed up at the 2nd 9 on hole#10 as they had an afternoon league and new groups were asked to start from Hole#10. With no starter /marshall, there was a group of 6 players and they did not let anyone pass through. Beside half of the greens and most of the tee boxes are in horrible conditions.

A challenging course in declining condition.

This is an old, state-owned course that is quite challenging and requires real accuracy. It is set in rolling hills in a state park full of trees and vegetation which seems to make it very hot/humid in summer months. The fairways are only decent and several of the greens are in poor condition with large bare spots. It is still worth playing simply because the price is lower than most courses and it's not hard to get a tee time on weekdays.

Great Layout in Terrible Condition

At least 11 of the 18 Greens were unplayable. I’m not sure if it’s a budget issue or if it’s incompetence from the staff. Someone needs to step in and save this course. It used be a real gem of a course. It’s a real shame to see it like it currently is. Not worth $45, it’s barely worth $25.
