Hopeful

Booked there because times were available on the holiday compared to other courses and the price was the best. I’ve always loved the course layout but it is in disrepair and the greens need major work. But, for the price and lack of congestion, I will continue to golf there. After all, I’m just trying to relax, enjoy the day, and try to hit some good shots.

Decent course

First time playing here. Fairways were well manicured, but some of the greens were awful. Most of the back nine greens had large patches of dead grass and/or were recently aerated and had thick layers of sand. Despite that, I'd go back because it's still a lot cheaper than other courses that have comparable playing conditions. Went on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was mostly empty. Only saw a few groups out there.

Wait till next year!

Haven't played the course in several years and due to having quest from out of town set up tee time for late morning round.

Tee boxes were rough, but greens were in bad shape with burned out spots and no grass, Fairways were average, but course needed some tender loving care and lots of water!

Save your money and go somewhere else!

Hope the course hasn't run out of money because it's a great challenging track, especially the back nine.

Getting Better

While there has been some improvement since I played this course in May there is still room for significant improvement before the course returns to the condition it was in the past. Front 9 greens are getting better, back 9 greens still a work in progress. The price is about right and the pace of play was outstanding our 3-some played in 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Horrible Maintance

The greens were awful. Most of them were half brown and didn’t even have grass. The fairways were practically as trimmed as the rough. If the course was better maintained it would be a much better course but I’be never seen greens that bad

Good deal...

Greens were a little rough on 5 or so holes and tee boxes were long I think due to the heat we have had lately. Would come back overall at same rate, get what you pay for.

Return to Vet Memorial

It was an enjoyable golf day but there were some ares needing improvement Not all but some tee boxes and greens were in bad shape. Cart paths were minimal resulting driving primarily on bumpy fairways. Club house was under staffed resulting in us walking out of the bar/grill after waiting 15 minutes for any service

Needs to be re-grassed.

Most greens have severe damage.

Front 9 fairways grass is thin with lots of bare spots. Mixed grasses and weeds predominate.

Back nine is in better shape but greens show severe damage.
