Played an early Sunday round in under four hours. That was the best part of the round. The course had issues with water which we were aware last time here. What we didn't know and were NOT informed of when we paid for the round was the greens had not been cut in a few DAYS. We asked the marshal on hole seven about this and he said it wasn't his duty? The course has greened up with the water being dumped on it and the late season warm weather. The back tee boxes were all barren with most having NO grass at all. The rough is now very thick again and extremely wet. The fairways are coming back with many places on the course still thin and/or dried out. Most holes still require a foot wedge for a legitimate second shot!! The greens were all WET and had the longest grass I've ever seen on a course in 45 years of playing the game. The traps were all in very bad shape still. Overall the conditions have improved since the last time here with the exception of the long greens. Not sure what the owners think they're doing?? It will be some time before we play here again.

Early 4.5 hour round on a surprisingly open course. The staff is friendly and the carts are good but now lack gps. The tee boxes were all level with good coverage but needed to be cut. The rough appears to be changing over to the dreaded kikuyu. The holes where it is present were somewhat dried out from the recent warmer weather. Playing from it was not too difficult in the fairways but green side was another story. The dry Kikuyu was thin around the greens and really hard to play from on touch shots for our group. The traps on most holes have been filled with nice white sand which was fairly compact and easy enough to hit from. The greens were not what you usually find either. The first few greens were bumpy and felt like the top inch or so was floating off the sand underneath? Really weird. As the round progressed the greens returned to almost normal but were slightly slower than the usual quick greens you find. Near the end of the round the greens had what appeared to be worm holes in places that resembled small tine marks, which they were not? Strange condition for the greens which are usually firm and quick. The course continues to provide a good test for golfers at a fair rate.

Early morning 4.5 hours round to beat the heat. Our partner who booked the round had no idea the course has been struggling with water issues. We were told upon checking in that they have had a broken water main and the course would be discounting the rate. There were many many dried out sections on every hole that required you to move the ball to hit. The Bermuda has even dried out? Not sure it was just a broken water main? The tee boxes were all thin and dry but had adequate coverage. Most of the fairways had spotty coverage with patches of green and a lot of brown. Many tight dry lies. The rough was really not visible and was usually dried out Kikuyu along the sides of the fairways, closer to the hole and green side the rough was mostly green but thin and difficult to hit from. Most of the traps were in sad shape with little to no sand in several I saw. Green side traps were hit and miss depending on the hole. The greens were in passable condition with a few in terrible condition and several in really nice shape. There were dried out sections on a few that reminded me of courses that were shut down because of the lack of water. Those greens with shade were in much better condition and mostly green but much slower than usual. The present conditions really are discouraging to see. Hopefully the maintenance team can somehow bring this place back into what it was becoming again the last couple times we have played it.

Midweek early morning four hour round. The staff is always friendly here and the new carts are much improved. The carts have gps and windshields now! The tee boxes were all in nice shape and trimmed down. The rough is present on maybe half of the holes and is shorter than most courses and not very thick either. The fairways were in good condition with a few thin sections or patchy grass here and there throughout the round. They were trimmed tightly but were damp enough to allow good contact. The traps were all groomed very well with mostly dark brown sand and small pebbles in most. Hitting from the traps was difficult with the damp thin sand. The greens were all in fantastic shape but were somewhat slower than usual. The members we were grouped with said they hadn't been mowed yet and the maintenance crew has been keeping them damp with the warmer weather. There were nearly no ball marks and less break than one would play. The weekday rack rate is reasonable for the area and the 19th hole has some good views.

Early morning four hour round on a much improved course. I've played here since this place was first owned by the McMillin Corporation. The staff is friendly and entertaining. The carts are in good shape with gps and small speakers with hookups for phones and the like. The tee boxes were all in great condition with total coverage and tightly cut Bermuda. The rough is penal in places throughout the round but for the most part was cut at the perfect length allowing you to locate your shot and put a decent swing on it. The fairways were close to best shape I have seen them in over the years. The Bermuda sat your ball us nicely and allowed for roll out where they were not damp. The traps were all perfectly groomed with most having damp thick sand. I did find a couple traps that had large pebbles and small rocks but that was my only complaint. The greens had total coverage with hardly any ball marks! The speed was somewhat slower in the morning but sped up as the day went on. There was much less break than our group read which made for many missed putts. The overall condition of the facility is much improved and worth the weekday rates but a little steep for the weekend. Definitely recommended

Early morning cold Sunday round in 4.5 hours on the Oaks/Creek. This place is always busy. Staff had everything moving smoothly as always. The foggy start was a little uncomfortable not knowing if the group in front of you was clear and hoping the group behind you didn't hit into you! The fog lifted around the fourth hole and the pace of play picked up with the sunny skies. The tee boxes were all in nice condition with good coverage and very few broken tees. The thick damp rough has finally been trimmed down to a nice length that allows you to find your ball and make a swing. The fairways were in excellent shape with total coverage and were being cut as we played. There are sections in the fairways where unfilled divots come in to play. The sand traps have all been groomed nicely and they all have plenty of sand (many of the traps have small pebbles/rocks in them). The greens were all in great shape with a few ball marks in need of repair but overall pretty good. They held shots okay and were slightly slower than usual. The course is in the best condition I've seen it in for some time.

Sunday morning 4.5 hour round behind the posers again. There are a couple of groups who play here early weekend mornings that like to be SEEN but never set a PACE!! The staff is always on point and efficient. The tee boxes were all damp from the rain and scruffy from lack of care. The rough has grown back with the cooler damp days making for and egg hunt on many holes. The amount of weeds and clover have overwhelmed a few holes. The fairways have declined with mostly dormant bermuda and patches of green clumps of various types of grasses. Some of the fairways resemble a cow pasture now. The sand traps are in very poor condition and many were so wet you had to remove your ball to hit a shot. The greens were all in really nice condition with total coverage. The smooth greens held shots well but were somewhat slower than usual with the rain over night. The rates remain reasonable in comparison to the other local offerings but the conditions are not very good right now.

Morning 4.5 hour round on a very good course. The staff is great and the carts have gps now which was not the case the last time here. The practice area is small but very nice. Tee boxes were all pretty much level but a little damp and shaggy on a few holes. The rough was the perfect thickness and length to stop a ball and allow a decent shot to be made from it. The fairways had total coverage and were all in great condition with some roll if you found them. Every fairway provided nice lies on mostly green grass with the occasional dormant bermuda lie. The traps were the lowlight with damp muddy conditions and some were not playable. The greens all were in excellent shape with 100% coverage and very few divot marks. The greens held shots well and were fairly quick with good lines and subtle break. There are many places on this course where you can find trouble. The layout and conditions more than make up for the long drive up the hill to this gem. Definitely recommended

Sunday morning round in almost five hours on the Creek/Stonehouse nines. Staff is top notch as well as the carts. The tee boxes were all a little thin and shaggy but very few broken tees this round! The rough is JUST ridiculous still. Most groups spend sooo much time looking for their shots in the rough which REALLY slows down the pace of play. The rough on the Creek ans Stonehouse nines ranged from a few inches to several. Not sure WHY they cannot get the rough cut down to a reasonable height??? The fairways were damp from recent rain and many were cart path only WHICH also slows down the pace of play. The ninth hole on Stonehouse had no defined fairway as the the entire landing section was a 3-5 inches long? Maybe the mower broke down or it was too damp to use?? Frustrating round for my partner and myself. The traps have all been trimmed up and are free from grass and RAKES on a few holes?? THe greens were in very good condition but slightly slower than usual. The Stonehouse nine greens still showed signs of aeration and were slow but held shots and rolled well enough. The views on the course are great and hopefully they can get their rough under control.

Sunday morning round in slightly over four hours. Staff was great as always. The tee boxes all had good coverage but they really need to level out the gold tee box on hole six. The rough has been cut down nicely and finding a wayward ball is pretty easy. Making a good shot from the rough is also much easier with most of the clover gone now. The fairways have maintained good coverage and most tee shots found fluffy lies even on the dormant sections of bermuda. There were places throughout the round that were being drenched for some reason? The fourth fairway had work being performed in the landing area with a ditch and trenching equipment present. The traps have all been trimmed up nicely but many still need to be raked and the sprinklers directed away from them. Probably quite a few traps are also in need of sand. The greens had great coverage and were fairly quick. A big gripe has to be made about the crew that resets the pin placement. Every green has numerous previous pin placements that has been set below the level of the green. Making for round low lying circles that definitely effect the line of your putt if you had to go through one. The greens held good shots and there were not too many ball marks in need of repair. The course has held steady on rates which is rare in the golf course community anymore. Still a good place for a reasonably priced quick round of golf.

Mid morning Monday round in about 4:45 hours. The staff is friendly and helpful. The carts are still in barely passable shape with many not even having a windshield on them. The tee boxes were all level and had pretty good coverage front and back. The mowers were going on the first few holes which is always exciting and annoying. The smell of fresh cut grass in nice but the noise of the mowers can be a bit much. The rough is pretty thick along the fairways and gets longer the further you stray from the middle. Finding your ball in the rough with the many forced carries adds minutes to the round and can get frustrating with the sloped sections on some holes. The fairways were all a little dry and some holes were slightly thin in places. For the most part you would have a decent lie but might find your ball sitting down in dirt at times. The traps range from thin hard packed dirt/sand to good sand nearer the greens. The greens were all in excellent condition and pretty quick with the strong winds that were present. They held well enough with some roll out on those low approach shots. There were few ball marks on most greens with none on others. The scenery and peaceful setting of this place makes a trip up the hill worth it if you haven't had a chance. The rates are steep on the weekends and holidays but reasonable enough during the weekdays.

Played an early morning Sunday round in right at four hours. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The gold tee boxes were all a little thin and shaggy from start to finish but playable. The rough is not too long but will help stop you ball if it finds itself in it. You can hit a pretty good shot from most of the lies you will find in the rough. The fairways are quite a mix of grasses (with bermuda the prominent) on almost every hole. You will see quite a bit of clover and weeds in sections of the course. The still green bermuda fairways do provide fairly good lies on most holes. The traps are still just hard packed dirt and sand with many being fairly damp and wet. The best part of the course remains the greens. There were very few ball marks on the greens and they were holding shots really well. The speed was slightly slower than usual but it was still a little damp from the rains the day before. A couple of the greens were somewhat bumpy from worms possibly? IF the maintenance crew had rolled them they would have been in better condition. There are a couple holes where the pesky pine needles come into play. It would be nice to carry a small battery powered blower for those. The green fees, location and ability to get a tee time here make it a good place to play a quick round if in the area.
