Great except aeration
West course: Very enjoyable first round this season but for the aeration holes on the greens with the sand. Understandable, of course, but slowed down the greens dramatically, very bumpy rolls on the putts and substantially reduced break.

Surprisingly good
This course is beyond what you might expect from a county operated course. Give it a try and you will agree with me.

Fun Course
Fun course, worth the money. Wish the half way house was open, but the cart girl did come by twice. Greens were aerated so putting was tough.

Greens were terrible
Greens were aerated and covered with sand or fertilizer. It was like putting on a beach. Maybe if they charged a lower price this would've been acceptable. Everything else was fine.

March Gold!
For the time of the year I was not expecting the Course to be as good as it was. Fairways were good. They did alot of work to the course and the excess bushes/grassy areas. Pace of Play was good considering a 2hr Frost Delay.
