Meh

No water stations out on course. No beverage cart. Play was extremely slow. No course marshal to push pace of play. Greens currently aerated.

Pretty good for November

This course is always open. Had great weather for November. The greens were slow but that’s expected for this time of year. This course has a great layout and is setup for anyone to play. This could be a championship course by narrowing the fairways and adding a few more bunkers. As it’s set up now, it is one of the most forgiving courses off the tee.

Overall a very good course

My only complaint is the high number of unfixed ball marks on the greens. I know I fixed over 50! The staff should have some sort of campaign to encourage the public to take better care of this nice course.
