Great Course...New Owner!

I heard they had a new owner so I thought I would give the course one last try. I went and was amazed. The greens, tee boxes, and fairways were emaculate. A totally different course than I played before. After speaking with employees it sounds like they have a whole new staff and they have a lot more planned. We also grabbed something to eat at the restaurant after. Decent menu and good place to grab a beer after.

Pasture

First nine grass was way to long. Couldn't find your ball even in the fairways. Seemed like you were playing in the pasture. Back nine was better but not much. Dry, long grass, tee boxes weren't kept up either. Bathroom smelled like urine. Not going back.

Lot of Potential

The course is in terrible shape, we had trouble finding balls in the fairway, due to the fact that it had not been mowed.
Sad to say but the course could be a really good one, if only it was maintained properly.

The Great Cow-Pasture of the North.

What else can you say.......Just horrible. No Sand Traps....Just Foxholes. Might as well put flags in your Back Yard.

Poor Time Management

The course had set up a scramble for a half an hour after we tee'd off. The course manager Basically said that we could play the back 9 until they finished up on the front which took more than three hours. I was also a bit disappointed with the tee boxes they were very uneven and not kept very well. The womans and seniors tees were worse it was like they just threw tee markers down in the rough half the time. Which made it a lot harder for my wife to play. Bottom line save your money and play else where.

shaggy

tee boxes were as long as the fairway grass, the fairway grass was as long as the rough. and the driving range was a sorry excuse for practice area, it was like hitting out of thick rough for every iron shot! Get a mower out there guys!!!

Worst Course Ever

Course fairways were made of crab grass and clover and very bumpy surface from ground moles. Tree limbs overhanging everywhere along fairways which made it impossible to use any club higher than a 4 iron. Greens were in nice shape, but were very small. Ground was hard as a rock.

Good couse, but confusing layout.

Friendly staff, Nice course, but the layout is crazy.

I finished on 2, then went to the next tee box and took my first shot. When I got over the hill to where my ball should be, there was a water hazard. I looked at the map on the score card again. Oops. I hit off 7, not 3. I looked at the map again and you have to take the cart path from 2 to 3. Huh. I paid closer attention the rest of the round, but there was still a couple times I had to pull course map out to find the next tee box. I'm sure the next time I golf there it will make more sense.

Otherwise the course would have gotten 5 stars. Everyone was really nice, the course was in great shape, greens were well maintained.
