Hot and Humid

It was a Hot, Humid and cloudy day. The fairway grass were lumpy in spots the ground hard, playable for some tuff for others. including myself. Pace of play was somewhat slower than normal because of an outing. All-in-all I still like this course.

The creek

Very good course for the money, offering three nines. The carts could be upgraded but the course is in good shape and challenging at times.

Goat Ranch Extraordinaire

Usually we view this place as a cheap round of golf. No amenities, no practice facilities, nothing. This day was a major headache. Slow groups in front of us made the front nine painful.

Four seniors who thought they were playing the Sr. US Open took forever on each shot, and they were NOT good. The family in front of us was pitiful. Dad, son and young daughter. They would wait until the group in front was 350 yards away before the kids hit their shots 20 yards. Oh, this was a Saturday at 9:30AM. NOT the time to teach your kids how to hit a golf ball on a crowded golf course.

3 hour front nine was painful, it ruined the day. NO rangers on the course....EVER.

Conditions were not terrible, but I would NEVER pay their asking price. It's way to high for what you get here. Do yourself a favor, find another bargain place to play and let this place die a quiet death.

Changes

I played the course last year, this time we found that the white and blue tees were moved back. We enjoyed playing from the white tees being the first time this year playing for one of the players.
