Only one redeming quality…its a great layout. With a little love it could be a great play. BUT..

-Tee boxes are squishy/muddy mid afternoon on a hot summer day, crowned on the middle so finding a flat lie is impossible
-Fairways are muddy in areas, with crabgrass and other weeds and grass types making up 50% of the playable area..some areas not mowed, so its a 50/50 shot of catching a flier in the middle of the fairway.
-rough is the same story..thick with encroaching clover and crabgrass, bermuda, zoysia, you name it youll find it. Areas that are just flatout muddy from lack of drainage and way too much watering.
-bunkers are just stone mixed in with a thick clay, except for a few which arent packed on the faces, so all the way to the lip of the bunker its powdery…
-greens feel like a kitchen sponge. Thick layer of poa on top, but it didnt seem like theyd been rolled in years, and the root layer underneath the grass surface is a half inch to an inch of rootbed. The result is an incredibly bumpy surface that plays relatively fast, but can result in overspin on wedge shots. A sharp wedge shot is bound to skip once and rip off the green, whereas a chunk and run tends to stop relatively quickly…kinda backwards.
-driving range…they boast a grass driving range. In reality, its mostly sand/bark, with half rooted patches of grass mixed in there. On top of that its kind of a moonscape, so finding a flatish lie is impossible. Expect to find 1/3 of the balls to be in poor condition (cracked, chunks missing/no dimples)

I played with a local who said on numerous ocassions “ooo you got windsor’d on that one” when a ball would bounce wildly from its line on the green while putting or chipping.
Normally i would just say “well its a public course”. But charging $80+ with cart….with such a lengthy list of issues…thats not acceptable
