Overall layout & design is great.

We spent over 3 hours playing 12 holes. The course requires a lot of maintenance. Weeds cut, trees pruned, flowers planted. Overall very messy and we will not play it again.

Good bones

Course seems to be suffering from neglect or lack of funds. Layout was good and greens were 100% but rough was spotty, traps were very coarse but fairways were in good shape. Pro shop attendant was unfriendly and starter was having issues. 4 1/2 hour round. Charge for range balls!. Would play again in spite of my rating.

Hard to find even with Google maps. First and tenth holes are as ugly as can be. Need a full revamp. Very slow pace of play. Had to wait at every hole. Long rides between several holes. Not good value for money.

Not bad for the twilight cost

Conditions are good. Course needs some work. Several bathrooms are closed with no warning or alternatives. Three pin locations were put into unplayable locations and when raised the staff ignored the comment. Not very business like IMO.

Overall worth that rate on twilight but not at full fare

Where the grass?

Course was interesting and modestly challenging with some narrow fairways. Fairways, however, had little to no grass in many places. Pace of play was good with only a few holdups.
