Not much changed except clubhouse

If you played here before expect much of the same

New clubhouse and improved putting green

Same layout

When you re do the course you expect some changes and improvement to the course

None of that here

Staff is friendly

Clubhouse is nice

But , nothing inspiring about the re do

Greens were the only saving grace. Fast and true. Overpriced. You can do better for the money.

Nice course

Staff is very friendly. Greens are hard to read and incredibly fast. Good portion of tee boxes are pretty chewed up. Drink house in middle of course where multiple holes come together is really nice.

Greens - firm and undulating

Course is nice, not penal. Greens were undulating and fairly fast. No straight putts. approach shots bounced through the greens. Often hard to find a ball mark, even with short irons. Since many greens were slightly elevated, little opportunity to run balls up. Need to sand the greens better, maybe not cut them so short.
