Course ok

Courses in good condition but big problem. They only on weekends still led out a twosome. When there's another two some waiting they should send out foursomes so the course can play quicker and food at halfway house and inside is way too expensive and not worth it. Two butters rolls cost us $10 at the halfway house. That was ridiculous and

The course is back

All greens are back in shape in 2022 the course was lost 9/18 greens had literally died - tee boxes still nasty

Greens pretty and consistent but quite slow.

Good walk fast round early am nice experience back to the old days when playing there was fun.

It’s good for beginners. Pretty easy, but very beat up. There wasn’t a starter when I played (it was later in the day). Overall, a slightly below average muni course.

As others noted, some staff seem like they hate the job and probably shouldn’t be working in a client-facing role. Course tends to be flat, but interesting yardages and doglegs. Pace is hit or miss.. No cart for refreshments on a 90+ degree day, but Manny at the 10th tee runs a solid hut.

Pretty good alternative despite....

Slow pace (warrants a ranger), tee boxes need a break from the rains, high humidity requires refreshments from a (missing) cart person. Greens weren't bad though.

Nice, accommodating clubhouse and cart staff made a good impression.

Nobody Cares

This is a poorly maintained golf course.

The tee boxes are patchy and overgrown. It as if they weren’t mowed in days.

The greens are a s l o w. Bunkers, poor.

The pace of play was b r u t a l.

No ranger in sight as the group ahead of us was beyond slow. They were clueless. Literally moving in slow motion.

In the clubhouse, the guy who checked me in seemed like it was the last place he wanted to be at that moment in time.

The one bright spot was the guy manning the concession at the turn. He was bright friendly quick and competent.

This layout is simply not good enough to keep me coming back, this entire place seems to have an attitude problem.
