Terrible all around. Never again.

Course conditions were atrocious. Greens slow and bumpy. "fairways" thin and hard. Tees bare - except for the one that was not mowed. Sand was like wet mud. How can the grass be dying for lack of rain and yet the only bunker I went in was mostly full of water?? Service was poor - no beverage cart, halfway house closed, bar closed, water cooler empty....no water at all after about the 2nd hole on an 80+ degree day and we are seniors. I will not be returning.

Interesting track

Teed off at 1 pm. The lawn mowers were running the entire round. 11th tee was basically like hitting out of the rough. 10th box was a dirt box. This course could be worth the $55 dollars if they decided to sink a little money in it. Instead they are letting it go to crap

Not a bad 18 hole course.

Played this one with my son and we had a great time. Some nice views on a few of the holes. The back 9 are around the ski hill equipment and made for an interesting round.
