I played Skylinks on 9/30/2012. Overall this course is in good condition. The layout is pleasing to the eye but is mostly flat with slight elevation changes on only a few holes. The tee boxes and fairways are in decent shape for a public course and the bunkers are in excellent condition with lots of fluffy white sand. There are a few holes with carries over water and a good blend of challenging holes and birdie opportunities. One knock on this course is that the greens aren't in the best of shape right now. There are a few greens that appear to have had disease issues and also some that show the evidence of high traffic. Another negative is that the pace of play was definitely on the slow side. (five and one half hours) I will play here again provided I can get a discounted rate as the standard green fee is a little steep as compared to the other local courses in similar condition.

Course gives a good overall appearance until you arrive at your first tee shot. Fairway on the 1st hole is just about as much dirt as it is grass. The tee boxes and the bunkers are very poor also. One of the bunkers I found myself in was hard packed dirt without any sand. Too bad, because the course has potential to be real nice. The only real plus were the greens. They were in nice shape and rolled true and were medium-fast. Also, I played on Labor Day at 1:00 and finished at 4:30 so the pace was great.
