First Time Playing

Needs a little work and it’’ll be gem

First time playing CCC. I would have rated higher but every bunker is in need of attention; weeds and pebbles everywhere. The 9th green is destroyed. Rough was long enough but not too long. Greens were in good shape but really long, similar to putting on a shag carpet. Fairways were nice. Great design, you need every club, few holes are blind from the tee and others require strategy; perfect challenge for all skill levels. For $30 it exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be back.

Great Donald Ross lay out

This was a fun course to play, a great Donald Ross layout. Staff very friendly, professional and helpful. The greens were generally in great shape, about 10 on the Stimp. The only reasons I didn’t rate it a 5 are 1, the holes weren’t consistently marked or which direction the that the next hole is located. That it is okay for regulars, however, since I only played it once before 2 years ago it added time to my game and a little frustration. Also, there were weeds and grass growing the bunkers and a lack of rakes to rake the bunkers. Other than that it is a fun course to play and reasonable challenge.

A Course for Golfers to Appreciate

Having played here last year and now again, I can say that the course conditions are better. If you are someone who needs pristine manicured conditions then you should look elsewhere. But if you are a golfer that can see the beauty of an old school design and are up for a challenging test, then you have found it here. The course is destined for the bulldozer and redevelopment (sad) so don’t expect to be catered to with a lot of amenities, it’s just golf and that is it. Those who expect more from this course are there for the wrong reasons. Many bunkers are becoming more like waste or natural bunkers due to time and resources to maintain them as sand bunkers I’m sure. So play them as such. The job they have done maintaining this course with limited resources is impressive. It’s a shame that I see and hear golfers trashing the course. I imagine they are the ones that can’t see it.

Good course

Love playing this course because of the history, sad to see it go one day. Fairways and greens still in great shape, no work being done on the traps due to situation of course.

Greens are sick/unhealthy. But fairly priced

The greens need some work, the greens are sick and whole 9's green I believe is in pretty rough condition. But overall the course has a great layout and some really nicely designed holes!

Downhill fast

This place sucks. course is not being properly maintained. We were told to speed up while waiting for the group ahead of us almost every shot. Just seems like amateurs are running the place. I get ownership just wants to sell the land. But this group is destroying a Donald Ross piece of art. So sad.

Agreed... The owners used to make a half-baked attempt to keep it playable, but now they just let it go to ruin. Sell already if you can't maintain this Gem.
