Disappointed
I love the layout on this course but course wasn’t in very good shape. They need to run the sprinklers. Need to teach the guy mowing some golf etiquette. Lots of burnt areas from no rain but some of the rough needed to be cut. I used to love this course but not sure I will go back until we get lots of rain.

Golf etiquette completely out the window. 89 degrees two elderly foursomes ahead. Waited 20 minutes to play a hole. All eight of them walking the weeds looking for balls. 3.0 hours to play 9 holes! No ranger to speed them up. For what it’s worth I’m 61 years old.

Good for a quick 9.
Course was in way better shape than it was last year. Kudos to the grounds crew. Staff is friendly and kind. Just kind of a boring course layout.
