Course is in Awful Condition

Greens were good and so were the bunkers. Well kept with white sand. The tee-boxes had no grass on 16/18 holes and the majority of the fairways had no grass. Basically hitting off dirt. The rough was patchy and the course was in terrible shape overall. Can't believe they want $60-$65 for a round.. won't be back.

Winter conditions

Historic track. Cart path only due to rain the prior day. Dormant zosia on fairways made muddy lies. Greens were good for the time of year. Traps had white sand that looks nice but packed down from the rain. Range permanently closed. Got a deal on Tee-off but wouldn't pay the published green fee.

The course has been neglected

The course was starving for water. Fairways were bare in a lot of spots . Zoyia looked to be about dead. Very disappointing for such a nice layout.
