Played on Oct 30th at noon as a single walkon.

A lot of changes are going on at the this course, apparently they got a new owner and they are fixing up the restaurant?? So hopefully we will see some change.

Pro Shop is bare with only a few shirts and hardly any golf balls. Snack bar is closed so they moved everything up in the Pro Shop. Did talk with the head pro before my round and he was nice and helpful he remembered me from another course I played at so that was nice. He told me about the new owner and some of the plans they had coming, made it sound pretty hopeful for the next upcoming months.

Golf course is a mess and hands down has the worst greens I have ever played on or seen many bare spots and roll was unpredictable!! I was told about them before my round but still the worst I have played. one of the guys I teamed up with on the back 9 said they have been like that for several months, he said they did aerate a month ago and put seed on them to try and bring them back. Tee boxes were ok, 50/50, some were rough and uneven and some were flat, mostly the par 3's need some attention. Fairways are the only good thing on the course, most are in decent shape. Rough is too long, lost several balls just missing the fairways by a couple yards, I get it that you should be in the fairway but a couple yards off shouldn't constitute a lost ball. Sand traps are mud and dirt, don't think I saw any sand in them, thank God I didn't find any of them during my round. I didn't see any maintenance crew on the course when I was out there, seems they aren't doing anything with the course other than the morning jobs such as mowing greens or in this case dirt and the fairways. They are redoing the cart paths on #1,10,12, but let the greens die, doesnt make sense to me as a golf course but you be the judge! On #1 they have boards up so if youu hit it to the right side in the rough you have to drive all the way down the hole by the green and come all the way back, big inconvenience.

Restaurant is a mess but they are doing what looks like most of the work, had a guy sanding the front doors and the bathrooms for painting. Food was ok, service matched the greens, waited 15 minutes for food and nobody was in the bar, finally the head pro went and got an older lady who was suppose to be working the restaurant. She had nothing but an attitude as if I was lucky enough for her to be serving me. She was talking with some other people about the new owner and didn't seem as optimistic as the head pro, guess she doesn't trust him because she said that.

Overall there is a bunch of work that needs to be done and some seems to getting started. hopefully they can get the greens growing grass. Rate was good, some of the staff is really nice and some are the complete opposite. Golf course has to be in better shape for me to return or anybody that plays it now and sees what shape it is in. Too many courses in SD that are in better shape, actually all of them, dont mind paying more if the course is nice. Lets see if this new owner can get it back in better conditions. Used to play this course a lot in the past but it was in good condition back then. Skip the restaurant and the wait, attitudes and just bring you own food, if you want beer just go to the pro shop. Will check up on the reviews and see if its any better in the spring maybe try it again then. Not worth it now!!

Been a bit since I played here, and always wonder why I stay away so long. Staff is always friendly and the course is the best that it has been since I started playing, guy in the shop said that they have really been focusing on the greens to make them better. Should be back sooner since I always have a good time. Only drawback is no range.

Where has this place been!!!! Course is in great shape, greens are still a tad bit slow but are full and healthy. Played yesterday (Sat.) a little bit busy but once you start to play you can understand why. Weekend rate is $64 but sooooooooo much better than the courses around it. Love this course; HATE 10, 11, 12, hardest back-to-back holes in California. Get out and play this one, you'll be glad you did!!!
