Not much changed except clubhouse

If you played here before expect much of the same

New clubhouse and improved putting green

Same layout

When you re do the course you expect some changes and improvement to the course
None of that here

Staff is friendly
Clubhouse is nice

But , nothing inspiring about the re do

Nice course

Staff is very friendly. Greens are hard to read and incredibly fast. Good portion of tee boxes are pretty chewed up. Drink house in middle of course where multiple holes come together is really nice.

Greens - firm and undulating

Course is nice, not penal. Greens were undulating and fairly fast. No straight putts. approach shots bounced through the greens. Often hard to find a ball mark, even with short irons. Since many greens were slightly elevated, little opportunity to run balls up. Need to sand the greens better, maybe not cut them so short.

Where’d the $13.3 million go

“Not sure where that 13.3 million dollars went but it sure wasn’t the course. I grew up going to sportsman and to see that money wasted on a parking lot and clubhouse is despicable.

The greens are awful, dirt areas everywhere. The teeboxes are ball above or below your feet and torn up. I will never go back.”

Nice course to walk

Course is in good shape, challenging greens,, plays longer than it is. Great course to walk and a great course for the price. The clubhouse and amenities are all top notch, and the staff is wonderful.
