I played a senior team match at Cottonwood (Ivanhoe) on May 31 and was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. I last played the course in October, 2012, and the course was not in great shape. Now it is in good shape with nice fairways and greens. The food in the 19th Hole was very good. If you have stayed away from Cottonwood because of the bad reviews the course has received, revisit the course. It's now in much better condition.
You will enjoy your round.
