SINGLE PLAYER

IT WAS MY IMPRESSION THAT I WAS GOING TO PLAY AS A SINGLE. AS IT TURN OUT MY DESIRE TO PLAY AS A SINGLE WOUND UP AS A FOURSOME. TWO OF THE PLAYERS WERE HORRIBLE, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NICE GUYS. ONE OF THE FOUR LEFT TO PLAY BY HIMSELF ON THE 12TH HOLE. I DID THE SAME ON THE 14TH HOLE. HAD I NOT DONE THAT, I MIGHT STILL BE OUT THERE.

Poor Upgrade

Played there yesterday for first time since their course upgrade. Must say I was disappointed. Greens were very slow. Different type of grass was put into fairways, didn’t seem all that good. Have played there many times in past 35 years. I think the money went into the clubhouse, which is very nice, but course is whats most important.
I’ll try it again in a few weeks, hope I’m wrong about what was done.

Not impressed

Not impressed with all the renovations. Greens were beat up, fairways were brown in parts, rough was rough looking in parts. $79 to play, not worth it. Also rangers bothered our group every few hole about catching up to the group ahead of us, even though we played at a pace of 4:20 and the group behind us was a full hole behind us…

Potential !

Played when it was called Sportsmans many years ago and now again for the 1st time since they re-furbished the course. Wide, generous fairways and the layout and the holes are nicely designed. Many bunkers but plenty of room to miss these with a well-placed shot. The greens are very slow. It was explained to me that since the greens are still new they will wait until they mature before they cut them lower. When that happens this will be a more challenging course but until then, the greens are way too slow. Potential is the word that best describes this course now (May18, 2022)
