Golf now sent me the email to review the course when we were still on 16, could have been better pace. Decent greens and fairways. Price was very reasonable. I’m playing TPC tomorrow.

Fun Course

I've played here a few times now, and enjoyed each round. On this particular day the track was soggy, it was cold, and fog heavy enough to limit visibility to about 100 yards rolled in for four or five middle holes to make things interesting. The greens were a little rough and need some work, but the course was generally in good shape.

Ok course

This is a good course that is maintained in a less than awesome manner. Understanding there are budget constraints for most golf courses yet more could be done to makes the course much more challenging and esthetically pleasing.

Postives- The greens were in great condition and rolled really nice. Also the bunkers are much improved.

Decent course

Very good course for the money. Greens are in good shape but are quite small for long approach shots. On toe of the Par 3’s, the green is protected by water. There are no deaignated drop zones so basically you’re 3 off the tee and still have the water to contend with. Not so much of an issue for lower handicappers but average players may find their score inflating quickly.

Areas where the irrigation system is being repaired are roped off but not listed as GUR (ground under repair).

Good Value

Course is in great condition, greens roll fast, fairways are well maintained. Some fairways have minor sprinkler drainage issues but overall great track for the value.

Good course

Good course, long and challenging. A little wet, looks like some irrigation problems, but doesn't really affect play. I just moved ball to a dry spot. All in all, very good value for the money. I will be back.

Average course

This course has a nice layout and with some work it could be really nice. Starter maybe hadn't had his coffee yet so wasn't very friendly and loaded my own bag. Full mature trees on the course offer some challenge for sure. The greens roll pretty good but are quite hard so no luck holding the green on approach shots and some are patchy. Fairways are good but there are some issues with the irrigation so lots of wet spots on the course. Played as a twosome in the morning in 3 hours so pace was great. Booked as a hot deal for $20 so was worth that price but not much more.

The Course is in Great Condition

I have played this course many times in the past five years. It is in the best condition now than I have ever seen it. Just need to work on and improve the sand traps.

Thumbs up to the greens keeper.

My once a year

My regulars are backnorth for Xmas so I decide for a cheap round. The course is in better shape than the last 2 years BUT is still in poor shape. The staff does not have any idea on how to water a golf course. Too bad as this couse has the best layout in the area. Get a qualifie head groundskeeper!

Good Course

The greens were a little rough, and the rough was made dangerous by the presence of numerous open sprinkler service holes, which made for very dangerous impediments when driving the cart in search of errant balls. But the course itself is a fun tract that will present a modest challenge and present well-maintained traps. Very little water. Lots of green grass and enough mature trees to make for an interested day.
