I hope this review doesn't make it harder to get a tee time.

The old course is a fun and challenging round that encourages you to go for that shot you've pictured in your head a million times. The conditions are fantastic. The course drains very well and hasn't had any standing water during any of the rounds I've played, including a round I played in the rain. I play from the Blues and feel that distance offers challenging yet achievable shots that make for an exciting and enjoyable round of golf.

M U D

Played this course literally 100 times over the yrs. MUD in places you would never think mud would be. In my headcovers, cart wouldn't steer for all the mud on the tires. Worm holes, WOW, almost completely covered the fairways, tee boxes(no grass) but covered in mud.
Moved the ball around to avoid golf ball completely covered in mud. Shot 75 from the white tees, decent player here but will not go back, maybe dries out this summer, maybe

Sad

If you like dirt and sand in the fairway and on the tee boxes then this is the place for you. Used to be a good course many years ago. Looks like most of the upkeep goes to Lakes or Bridges. Not sure why greens fees are the same for this course. Should be half what we paid.

Great history, but lacking presently

Greens reasonable for the winter. Fairways were horrible. Many without any grass at all. Have to master hard pan off dirt approach shots. Clubhouse under construction.

Good option

Very good value for money and the course was maintained well. Greens were in good shape and fairways were mostly well groomed. Not overly challenging and a good layout.

Great Value

This was my first time to play at this course and it was very enjoyable experience. The course was well taken care of. Only feedback is that the leaves be blown off of the greens but other than that great course.

Olde Course

Practice options for a public course were very good. They have 3 courses and I played the Olde Course. It was awful. Fairways were mostly bare with sparse patches of a multitude of grasses. Greens were pretty good and had some challenging undulations. The condition of the course in general was so bad I will never even consider playing it again.

Pace

Really just need the staff to speed up the few groups that ruin it for everyone else. If a groups can’t finish in 4 hours on their own with a cart they shouldn’t be playing golf.
