Cart paths

My only complaint is the cart paths need to be fixed.

Also a chipping area would be nice.

Good, inexpensive course

The course is in quite nice shape with smooth greens. A good value for the money, but pace was slow and there was no marshall. Also the snack bar was closed and there was no water on the course.

Course needs work, too many ruts and tree roots.

I'm hoping the staff will work on improving the course since the city took it over. There are way too many ruts and tree roots which interfere with play. Too many balls go lost due to hitting tree roots, twigs, and pine cones everywhere. The ball should not have that many interferences which cause bounce anywhere and everywhere. Cart path asphalt is mostly torn up with too many pot holes. Overall it's just OK. It's frustrating as maintenance and cleanup could be a lot better. I'm thinking of re-evaluating how often I play there.

Memorial Day

Played in a threesome, two walking and one cart rider. Memorial Day seemed to have better playing conditions than the day before, as the course had been wet. Good outing, pace was good, but kept having to wait for the foursome ahead of us.

Need to get the cart service going.

The greens need some work.
