Challenge your shot

Like the layout . Is a cerebral course . Need to think about placing your shots to make the approach. Like the setting ,may have been built in the 50s era . Greens, the cup needs to be another 1/2 inch deeper , the ball hits the top plastic and pops out .

Course has improved

A few years ago I suggested that a cow would not venture into this pasture. It was that bad.

I was not going to play it ever again. But I was in the area, got a great rate at the right time of day so I gave it a go.

Much improvement. I will play it again at the right price. Though private, It looks like a Muni and is worth Muni prices. Holes number 1 and number 10 are still in need of TLC. #10 is now a par 3 but it is ugliest par 3 I have ever played. Shortened from a Par 5, I wonder why they don't just make it a short par 4.

Aside from these 2 holes the course is in decent shape. Needs some TLC around the water hazards. Word is they have a new Manager or Greenskeeper. Whichever, I hope they continue to work on the place.

Managed by JC GOLF, this course is the worst of their bunch.

not bad

Reviews claimed course was a dog patch. There were some spots that needed a little tlc. But it was a real good layout with some real interesting holes. Greens were real slow. Some bunkers needed sand. Fairways were ok. Played with a coupe of real nice guys. Had a real good time.

Not worth it

Course is poorly taken care of. They force you to sit in carts with strangers or ask you to pay an extra 30 for your own cart. Why would I sit with a stranger when they’re sick. Staff inside is rude and starter is a little touchy

Fairways anad greens need work

This course has a nice layout and there aren't any gimmicky hazards. Fairways had a lot of dirt spots where grass was missing and the greens were rough and very slow.

Course conditions

The greens putted like you were on shag carpeting. Fairways were mixed with clover. Sand traps had little to no sand.
