Mixed Bag

I have been here about 10 times and pace of play is always an issue, but for the price you deal with it, however almost 5 hours on a Wednesday? It was cart path only and the drunk group in front of us had a hard time walking back and forth to the cart, then I saw this group after the round do something I have never seen at a course before. They were all urinating in the lot and yucking it up. Bathroom was 50 feet away. I did say something to who I though was an employee, to be fair he might not of been who said "well when you gotta go you gotta go". New carts are nice but the GPS is all wonky and shutting the carts down all the time. That needs to be fixed. Employees agreed it was a nuisance. I'll go back but if the same things happen I wont go again.

Too Early for this course

Played today. No tee boxes were ready. Several holes mushy and poor. If you're not ready, just say so. Just because the temps are up,doesn't mean the course is. Hope to be back in Summer to get my money's worth.

A Good Course to work on your game

First thing is you know what you are paying for. Not a top course in the area but a course you can enjoy working on your game.
Staff is friendly and helpful. Good to see maintenance is seeding all tee boxes and removing dead trees and brush. Another plus was new blacktop on cart paths where needed.
I know that they can’t do much about all the geese since course is surround by preserve areas.

First Time Playing

The greens were recently punched , but had grown in fine . Didnt effect play at all . Some of the fairways are pretty tight , maybe 50 yds wide . Enjoyed the play . Played along with some regulars so it helped , they knew the course layout . Some of the par 5 s very challenging.
