Not worth for $70+

Paid over $70 for this course and we went there with high expectations. While they provide free food, soft drinks, and range balls, we were disappointed with the course. Many tee boxes had bald spots, uneven surfaces, and hard. Greens were slow with longer usual cuts, and fairways were not that great. I think the most of green fee was for views around the lake. I would rather play at Reunion or Chicopee with much less damage on my wallet and in my opinion, those course are in better condition. I would not play for $70+.
