Strange?

The greens look great but are extremely slow. Otherwise, some work being done around the course, trying to improve areas.
I sum it up as a wierd course with an expensive price to play and may take a long time to finish your round.

Beautiful Weather Daay

The course still playing like a Spring New England wet . Greens were very inconsistent, to be expected, probably unable to mow. Overall a great layout. Expect 4.5 hours of golf.

3rd time playing in 3 weeks

Love this course. Price is fair. Not too busy, only had to wait to tee off on a few holes. Greens are challenging depending on hole placement. Upstairs bar is nice when open. Some construction going on around the course but seems like it will be done soon.

Very Good Condition

The course is in very good condition considering it’s so early in the year. They’re working on a few tee boxes but besides that, everything was great

Last round of the season

Tee boxes were in rough shape but rest of the course was beautiful. Greens were perfect. All the leaves were raked away. Ponds were gorgeous. Pace of play was about right. Fun day. I'll definitely be back in the Spring.

Slow

Nice course with some challenging holes but greens were were extremely slow and bumpy. Fairways and greens were covered with leaves..very easy to loose balls.
The grill is below average too.
