Andy Davis Review

Close, clean and friendly. Course is in great shape. Challenging pen placements with a few tight fairways. Can be crowded so playing under 4 hours isn’t always a given. My go to course for sure!

Great Shape

Played for $40 after 1pm on the weekend. The course is in great shape. It’s a little tight and has some tough greens but that doesn’t determine this review. 8/10 and one of the best public courses around by far.

Had a good experience playing at the course. The greens were extremely fast, so if you found yourself above the hole you were in trouble. If you knew the layout you could play to be below the hole. Other than that I had a good time and will play this course again.

Not great, not horrible.

Greens were probably 13 on the stint meter. Some of the greens felt like you were on a putt-putt course with 3 different levels. Sometimes there was no way to stop the ball from going off the green on a 10' putt downhill. Layout is kind of sporadic, especially on the back, but it was an OK course. Glad I played it.

Must get a ton of play because greens were full of pitch marks. Most were un-repaired.

Tee boxes need some work.
Compared to other courses I play in the area, it was in average shape.
