Decided to check this one off the list today. Booked a GN hot deal at 12:24 for $17, which I think is less than the normal walking rate and included a cart. I was hoping to get out earlier and there were openings with twosomes and threesomes going off when I arrived, but the starter said his supervisor behind him wouldn't allow me to go out any other time than my scheduled tee time. Ultimately, they did send me out one group early, as part of a threesome right after several fivesomes of seniors. Gee, thanks! Though we waited a lot, the actual 9-hole pace was reasonable at 2 hours, 15 minutes.

The course was in decent shape. The greens are all but healed from aeration. I could see temporary greens cut on most holes, too, so I'm not sure if they were using those recently in the midst of maintenance. They were soft, slow and a bit bumpy at times, but not bad and not nearly as many unrepaired ball marks as I would have expected at a muni course like this. Tee boxes fine. Fairways mostly pretty lush and green. Some mushy spots throughout and some thin spots here and there, but overall as good as I'd hope for here. Rough more hit and miss with some really thick patches and some bare spots, too. I wasn't in a bunker, so no comments there.

This is a very boring course during the first few holes, but gets a little more interesting from the 4th hole on. Holes 5-7 are fun I thought. It's a solid enough overall course for what it is, but a one and done for me most likely because it's not that close to home and I'm sure it's usually quite busy.
