This course had 2 nice water holes.

There were so many gopher holes. I even lost a ball that you could see, but could not pull it out.

Prairie dogs have destroyed the place, bad greens that are only seen in nightmares. It's cheap but not worth it.

Dried up terrible fsirways

Once a pretty cool course with decent fairways, slow greens and ok tee boxes. Its looks like their irrigation died…trenches and wires open on some holes, huge spots of sand/dirt on many fairways, nothing is ever weed whipped around trees or fence lines, it’s worth $35. Hope it can make a comeback as greens were ok but bumpy and long….gem of place is the outdoor bump and run with good service, food and beverage.

They had a sprinkler system failure after oberseesing this fall. The fairways were not vey good on the affected holes.

I like the course layout and with they could get some rain to heal it up. Very long and well laid out course. Just in really tough shape right now!! To bad. Don’t think I can recommend right now.

Fairways in tough shape

The course has gone downhill each year over the past 3 years. So much potential on this course. Sad that the fairways are beat up so bad . Greens were okay. Staff inside and out are awesome. We decided yesterday that we would not come back.

Horrible conditions

Course was in horrible condition. Many bare and massive dirt areas in fairways. Greens slow and not in good shape. Figured the amount of play reflected the course conditions and cost. If looking for a decent course I would not recommend

Poor Conditions

Very poor conditions. Not worth the drive. Better off paying more money to play somewhere else. $60 is too much to charge for this course.
