Enjoyed
Hadn’t played course for several years. Enjoyed the layout. Greens aerated so that was a negative.
Tough Tract with Punched Greens
The course is demanding. There are some very long par 4s. I am 220 to 235 off the tee and some were tough to reach. The greens had been aerated with 1980s style 1/2 punches. The sand was missing from 30% of the punched holes and others were not filled fully. 6 footers were a complete guessing game. Good putts were bad and bad putts were good. Overall it was not completely enjoyable due to the greens.
The restaurant next door was very good with nice service.
The course is middle to bottom half of my list for going back. Might be better in summer. Not off the list.
The Greens
The greens were punched and half filled with sand making putting impossible. Fill them up! I understand this needs to be done but did you run out of sand? The bunkers were avoid of sand to. Hard pack made bunker shots impossible. The employees were not friendly. Other then that the rest of the course was in good shape.
Fun Course
Course was in great shape and the green were lightening fast. Highly recommend!
Better than Expected
The course is friendly and fun. Pro shop almost non existent. The bar restaurant had awesome burger. A lot of ball beaters made it slow, but food made up for it.
Gorgeous Course
Beautiful parkland style and in great condition. Priced very reasonable. Multiple tee choices to make it as challenging as you like. Got behind a group outing that slowed things down considerably, but still a nice day.. Worth the drive and would definitely play again.
Couple Retreat
Great way to enjoy the weather on a beautiful golf course
