Good Landscape, Terrible Greens

Greens were in poor shape. At least two dirt patches on all 18 greens, and they all look like they've been pelted on.

Ok course

Pretty, mature course. Green in rough shape. Layout is confusing. I enjoyed playing it on a par with most other city courses.

Horrible course conditions

Played a good round because it’s a pretty straight up and down course. Zero amenities here. Bathroom in the clubhouse was disgusting. The course hasn’t been kept up at all. Ball washing stations were all broke, no towels attached to those. Weeds everywhere. Huge craters all over the fairway. Greens were horrible. The worst I’ve ever seen

Hidden Gem

After a 2 year absence from golf due to a shoulder replacement I recently played this local course again.

I was quite impressed with the attention given to several greens that had previously been in poor condition. They were in spectacular shape.

I look forward to playing here again after some 'range time'.
