Decent course

First time playing. It’s a decent course. My only real problem was the staff working the course didn’t seem to care that people were playing golf. I understand they have a job to do but at most course staff tends to move to the side and let you hit and won’t run there mowers around tee box as your teeing off. Courses staff acted like the golfers were just in their way.

Not bad but not great

Course was in decent shape, except for the greens. All had been aerated and some were missing large patches of grass.

Very Green!!

Great course to play. Greenery is in full bloom and the course is in decent shape. In two weeks it probably will be in great shape. Challenging layout. Greens are coming back from being punched. Hole 15 still has patches of bare spots on it but you can putt on it.

Not bad.

I booked the tee time then started to regret it after reading the reviews. I thought I’d be putting on dirt all day. But there were only 3 greens on the back nine that were in really rough shape. The green on the front were pretty nice other than an occasional spot on the edge of the green. Fairways seemed pretty good all around. You’re not going to beat the lay out either. I’ve been playing here for 10+ years and it’s in similar shape as it’s always been. Definitely worth playing.
