WET COURSE BUT GOOD TO GET OUT

The course was extremely wet. It was cart path only so there was lots of walking. Course conditions were typical of a winter round. Cart paths are in poor shape and in need of repair. The cart attendant and the snack bar attendant were extremely courteous. Although we were the last ones in the snack bar, she was friendly and made us feel welcome.

Tough Course but Fair

Narrow fairways, with serious elevation changes. Rolling greens, in great shape, but tough to read in the rolling countryside. Our game was hampered by fallen leaves, it made finding your ball difficult, even in the fairway. All in all, a challenging but beautiful course.

Cut the greens!

Inexperienced players may like the greens, but they were so slow they were unplayable. Great condition but like Velcro. One crazy up on a cliff hole that was ridiculous.

Gray course

Course was great, friendly staff. Greens rolled very true, fast and not many times that I was tricked by where the ball rolled. I’ll be playing again because it helps to know where to hit the ball with some blind shots.

Great layout and fun to play.

Definitely have to place your shots in the right place if you want to score. Well maintained and will play it again.

Cove Course Update

Played the Cove this past week and was impressed with its condition and pace of play. Greens were in excellent shape with few ball marks and rolling well. Traps could use a bit more sand and TLC but other than that a good experience was had.

BEAUTIFUL COURSE

The course was in great shape. Everything was green and lush, with the iris' in full bloom. The rough was thick but manageable.

The course was in exceptional shape; however, the clubhouse closed early (approx 5 pm). We wanted to go in and have drinks after our round, as did a large group who finished after we did. They lost out on a lot of business by closing early on a beautiful afternoon.

Not worth $100 a round. They should have been charging off season prices. The fairways were not good.
