Positive Trend

This is the old Teamsters resort course. Nice layout - scenic and challenging. Greens were lush and immaculate- pretty slow but very consistent. Fairways and some tees were getting hard and crusty but there's a drought going on. A real marshall did his best to maintain pace of play. We got stuck behind a foursome playing a two man scramble. Round took 4.5 hours. Waited on most holes and shots. This round was a great value and we will return to play again.

Pleasantly Surprised, GREAT Value!

We had a great time at this course! 18 of the most blemish free, thick, dense greens I've seen in awhile. They hold a shot well. They are quite on the slow side, but VERY consistent. Teeing grounds were uniformly nice. Fairways were hard and fast for the most part. Some areas a little thin, but we're in a drought, and this course is still under a well planned rehab program that is going to result in a fabulous course. The layout is interesting and fair. Real course marshalls doing their job!! They were polite but firm about pace of play. Our round lasted exactly four hours. We will definitely return and recommend this facility.

Horrendous conditions…dry as as bone. If there was something green, it was a cool layout.

Great layout, pace of play was terrible and he fairways were in very bad shape.

Loved the course layout, fairways were basically weeds better off playing from the rough. Greens were in pretty good shape. Wouldn’t come back for the same price.

Enjoyable Day

Course was in pretty good shape. Pace was a little slow on front 9. Marshall came around, was excellent keeping things going and and a great guy. Only frustrating issue was waiting 15 minutes for a couple of bratwurst. Didn’t tell us up front or we would have just skipped the food.

Oak Valley

Very dry course, tee boxes were rock hard, fairways had patches of grass but too many dry spots and dirt, greens were rough with newly laid sod patches throughout the entire course, they aren’t watering the course and I won’t be going back this year.

Needs Improvement

Course condition was rather poor. Both the fairways and greens were in poor condition event factoring in the bad weather lately.

Very good value

Tee boxes and fairways are a bit tired. Some fungus on greens but playable. Staff is always great. Good value for the money compared to some other courses around.

White sand bunkers and decent greens

Fairway was a little rough in spots but nothing major. Greens were the same. Bunkers are white sand and play nicely. Very nice buildings, carts are all very nice.

Looking a little tired

This course was really nice a year and half ago. It's beginning to be a bit tired on the fairways and some of the greens are suffering from a fungus. Overall it is still a fun course and a great "hot deal" value. I'm sure they will get it back in shape in the near future.
