Played on July 1. The course is in very nice shape, but I have to agree with the previous poster - the grounds crew was absolutely terrible. They really turned what would have been a great day playing... Continue »

The only real negative feedback during our group's visit was the constant work being done by the maintenance crew, causing huge distractions. It was almost as if WE were distracting THEM from their w... Continue »

Avoid on weekends. Slowest round I've played in some time. Lik... Continue »

Greens are incredible hard and slow. Many of our shots would land short of the pin and bounce and run 20-30 feet past the pin.

Its a great short course that requires you to keep the ball in play... Continue »

A truely great job of reworking this old course. I remember coming here over 50 years ago with my Dad and uncle. I love the new grass on the fairways an rough. The traps have real nice sand.

Nice course after redesigning. Not too difficult in terms or rating and slope, but it is a nice place to play to work on your mid-short iron game.

Great confidence builder, rewards the player with... Continue »

played during TWL on the weekend. Course was in great shape. Played from the tips but was still pretty short, although the course does provide for you to make shots weather you need to draw/cut your... Continue »

UPDATE: I just spoke to the pro shop guy (4/15 - 2:45pm) and they have CANCELLED the AERATION ..... it is TOO moist for them to do it properly. The gentleman was polite, and agreed I should have be... Continue »

What's up with aerating the greens 4/18 & 4/19? They did NOT tell me of this when I reserved a teetime on 4/11. Not happy. I played there right after the re-opening (Tuesday I believe it was) and... Continue »
