Used cart

not worth the price, greens were in il-repair

there were literal spots on the green, the pace of play is embarrassing, it's not worth the cost considering the course still needs a lot to be fixed up, the guy checking me in made some pretty interesting comments about the Asian people that were playing before me

i'll happily play again because i live so close - but i will never pay full price - it's not worth full price

Times are a changing.

I believe a new name, new ownership, new management

Is making a positive impact. Course looking good all around (spend a little more time on the traps).

I have no idea if the above stipulation is true, except for the name change. But I was pleasantly surprised at how much better the course is then when I played it in 2022.

Quick Par 3

Quick course to get a round in…..as long as you hit it at the right time. If you get stuck on the front 9 it may take awhile. The course is pretty easy and straight forward with a couple Par 4’s. The course they keep in pretty good condition.

A nice walk

Overall this is a nice course to walk and practice your short game. There are a few holes where longer clubs are called for, which makes it fun. The greens were in good condition although I would place signage around and request people repair their ball marks as well as instruct how. There was a few places where the ground was pretty mushy but overall good condition. A bit pricey for an executive but still worth it.

Nice views but horrible greens condition

The course condition was awful. I have played at courses that are 1/3 of the cost in much condition. Very disappointed.
