A solid course

Course was in solid shape. Greens were about a week away from rolling great after punch, they were pretty fuzzy.

Front nine is subtly challenging, the back is an entirely different course with the various elevation changes.

It’s a CC that doesn’t take itself too serious, but make sure you get there a few minutes early in case there’s a line at the gate to get into the development.

Will be returning in a few week once the greens firm up.

3-star for country club course

Still waiting for sand in the sand traps. Greens are nice and quick. Fairways are very patchy.

Will be worth the $60+ once they put sand in the sand traps and seed the fairways.

Great layout and pace. Just needs a little $ put into it to get it back to a country club level course.

Great back nine.

Greens are very fast

Bunkers need more sand.

Second nine has 9 good holes.

If the bunkers were better it would be a great course.

Course crowded play slow some improving scene

We recently read that there were Menz being made into this course, so we wanted to check it out. This course has some challenging features and some really long holes. Unfortunately, sand traps are still pretty much dirt one or two new ones actually have nice white sand we hope to see more of that in the future. Play was very slow today. There were some groups of five and six and even eight on the course we observed so they didn’t appear to be Marshall to speed up play. Behind those groups. Several trees have been removed, but it doesn’t seem to improve play? Only seems to improve the aesthetics of the course the greens have improved since we were last year and are very fast and it’s good to see that there are free range balls included with your green fee. Nice cart Fairways this time of year are brown and fairly muddy in spots so your ball does roll but making good contact with your clubs on very short grass is challenging.

We will probably give it a try when things warm up and hopefully the course will not be , very slow next time

Punched Greens

I love this course and appreciate the deals on golf now. Only issue I had was that the greens had just been punched and sanded. Nothing was posted to let me know that until after I paid for the round and showed up This would have been better if they had told us of the conditions.

NOT RECOMMENDED

I have played this course MANY times, and have never been so appalled at the conditions. The greens were a solid 4/5, I will give them that. The fairways and rough hadn’t seen a mower for over a week, massive grass clumps in the fairways, unkempt and weedy tee boxes…it was absolutely terrible. I love this course and it’s a crying shame what it has come to.
