Course was in very good shape with tough pin placements.

Rough was cut short enough to find and play balls that missed the fairway.

April Course Conditions⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Greens & fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were understandably slow being early April. If you’ve played it you know it plays long & tough even without leaves on the trees! The bunkers get a pass until season kicks into full swing so hopefully they’ll maintain them. Best flags in the game!

Nice course, but needs work!

Great layout, but I won't be back until I see what the new owners do!
