Friendly staff, but course is in need of some TLC.

I played April 15 at 6:45 am. I was the first golfer out. The course has some holes of challenging length for plus 10 handicap, but also has a couple short par4's on the back nine which made it enjoyable. The problem is the grass in the fairways has plenty of bare spots and when I played hadn't been mowed recently, although they were mowing on this day. You could barely notice the fairway from the short rough while standing on tee box. Tee boxes were not mowed and lots of bare spots. The sand traps needed to be mowed...enough said. Clubhouse signs need painting. Overall, the aesthetics of this place left a lot to be desired. My impression was this place looked like it may be closing soon. Money is not there for upkeep evidently. The positives are I enjoyed myself, the greens were in good shape, and the gentleman employee was friendly and helpful. A large bar and grill sitting area is provided. It has the potential to be a very nice course.

Long course

Course was in nice shape and the greens are rolling true.

Just glad they’re open to get some swings in.

I had a nice time

The greens were smooth, with few ball marks. The front 9 is straight forward. There is more quirk on the back 9. Could be fun and interesting finishes if you're playing match play, as holes 14, 15, and 17 are short par 4s, while 16 and 18 are par 3s.
