Decent shape

Overall course was in good shape there were some greens that needed some love especially the 9th, but all fareways were solid. The front entrance could really use some clean up of weeds it does look run downed at you pull in and had me concerned at first, but the course made up for it

Costly for a course in need of TLC

Played on a holiday. Not enough carts so we had to wait for one. Pace of play was ok. Course conditions weren’t good. Tee boxes had weeds, many traps in bad conditions. A couple of greens in bad shape. Men’s restroom very stinky. Old clubhouse under renovation. Did have wide fairways for beginner golfers and red tees do give an advantage for non long ball players. Could be a good course just needs some money on course maintenance

Lots of fricking trees

Very fun course. I wish they would take a little bit better care of it. But this was very enjoyable course. Lots of trees.

Fun place to play.

Greens rolled very nicely. Pace of play was better than I expected. It use to be a private club. The tee boxes are a little less than desirable. The course itself is still very fun to play. I’ll definitely play again.

Past Its Heyday

This course must have been an absolute gem when it was taken care of. I’ve never seen so many dandelions in my life. If you don’t play scratch golf on the fairway you’re losing balls among the fluff. Everything is overgrown the tee boxes are rough. Surprisingly the greens are pretty nice. Challenging course layout, well placed bunkers and dog legs. Wish I could’ve played it about 20 years ago!

Maybe in the summer

6-hour round, backed up tee times, greens banged up, standing water throughout, no liquor license = no liquid coping with the rest. Maybe management will be better and course will be dry by August

Great course but fall season hampered play.

Like this course but unfortunately there were leaves every where. Balls were hard to find if found at all.
