Perfect weather
Used cart

Wet Greens

There was a water line break and all the sprinklers were running and flooding some of the greens. Also no bathrooms because of this. Pace of play was slow.

Cost

Food cost was high, course usually 48.00 to play I got discount thru GOLFNOW for 24.00 this is not a premier course, ground hard, greens fast. Liked to seen water coolers out there but none. This course should be at the most 36.00 for 18 .

Nice time

Greens were a bit fast and it was hard to put the tees in the ground but that's what a lack of rain can do... Course really was in good shape .

Good bang for buck

Solid course. Not great but good for beginners and practice. Staff is great. Greens were in good condition. Fairway need work. Sand was playable and cart paths recently redone. Conditions are improving from what it used to be

Good enough if it’s a deal on greens fees

Decent shape, nice greens, but super short. Beginners layout. Had no rangers, and several singles and doubles backed up behind slower foursomes.
