You get what you pay

Nice that they were able to get me out 30-40 minutes ahead of schedule. Course was kind of rough. Greens were slow, very hairy. The rest of the course did not seem very well maintained, Tee boxes were very soft and the grass was cut high. More like the length of a good courses rough. I was a single so I was able move at a good pace until hole 12 when I caught a two some who was behind a foursome. You get what you pay for. Cart and green fees $21 it’s worth that but not much more. I drove 25 miles I would not do it again.

Course was in good condition except there were a lot of low areas that were all mud. Also it was very difficult finding the next hole (very confusing course). Once you are used to the course I guess it wouldn't be a problem.

Wet

While local conditions have been dry the course was very wet. Greens were good but fairways were very soft.

Expected more

Greens were slow played with 3 guys who all shot over 100

We let 2 twosomes play through and then a very rude member foursome play through also after that the starter came out to tell us we were behind absolutely ridiculous he should’ve paired up the twosomes and there wouldn’t have been a problem

Nice day on the course, with few exceptions

Overall the course is in good shape, the only issue was the greens. Though the greens were in good shape they needed to be cut and rolled, when putting the ball would bounce instead of roll making it impossible to get a read. Other then the issue with the greens, the course is in good shape.

David

Great little course. Tee boxes were in great shape as were the greens. Fairways are coming in nicely. This course is in better shape than many in the area charging quite a bit more.

Staff is always friendly seems like they are glad you’re here. Will continue to play this Jem
