Coming along nicely

Have played here often over past 25 years and the new management is doing a good job with this now municipal course owned by the city. Renovations are underway so clubhouse and pro shop are make shift now but the course is really shaping up nicely. Always loved the old course feel and layout. Very walkable which we did and enjoyed on a day hovering under 40 degrees. Greens are in very good shape and fairways are showing improvement over the old days here. Good value for the money

Making progress.

This is an old line, well-designed course that is making a slow but steady comeback under the new ownership. Keeping the price reasonable even for a public course, the course keeps improving. Enjoy playing there.

Greens in great condition, course in good condition, still a lot of downed trees from summer storm to clean up. Looking forward to more improvements under new management.

Course was well worth what we paid for

The course was in very nice condition for the price. We had a great time playing. The only issue we had was the pace of play was extremely slow. But other than that it was great and we would play it again.

Overall the course was OK. The sand traps were in excellent shape. The fairways and rough could have had the leaves blown off them and there were downed trees throughout the course that appeared to have been there for some time. Use caution while on the cart paths as they are in horrible shape.
