This was our warm-up round on Thursday morning before Wilcox Oaks. rgm2525, ppark81 and I started around 6:00 and finished quickly as the only ones out there so early. The new owner knew we were coming for a quick dawn patrol round and greeted us in the parking lot as we arrived. Super nice guy who is putting a lot of time, money and effort into resurrecting this little old course. Price was $22.50 with a cart. Conditions from tee to green were decent. Tee boxes were fine enough and the fairways were good enough for the most part. They were running the sprinklers and we had to play around them often, so that was an added challenge. Rough inconsistently cut, but fairly lush throughout. The few bunkers there are need a lot of work. The greens were very shaggy and slow, more like the fairways we played at some of the country clubs this week. However, they are putting work into them and he warned us they wouldn't be very good after such a wet winter and all the work they are doing. This course actually closed for some time, so the new owner came in. They completely revamped the little restaurant/pro shop and it looked nice inside. He has also been working hard on the course to get it playable again. The 9-hole layout is pretty basic and there isn't anything too interesting here, but I like seeing any courses come back to life after some very tough years and I'm sure it will be good for locals to have their little home course back.
