    Golf course is in horrible shape. Fairways are non existent and forget the rough it's nothing but dirt. The greens are ok, they overseeded the skirts around the greens this fall and that is the only thing in decent shape on the entire course. It's a shame as the course was in decent condition in September but apparently management made a decision not to water the fairways and rough and they are now paying the price since the course is suffering badly. It's sad because it's a pretty good layout but as I said it's just in horrible shape is all I can say.

    I recommend this coarse now Mr. Jim Bellows has brought in a new pro shop Manager (Elizabeth Glenn) a very pleasant personality also Abbey Will who is also behind the desk. Rich the course Superintendent has taken this course from a dying course to probably the greenest course on the west side. This man has added a new Chemical system to the watering system which took a excessive salt content that was killing the grass to real green greens and fairways. They are not paying this guy what he is worth, if they don't they are going to lose him and that would be a shame. Yes the worst person i have ever met is now gone and a real pleasant group is now in place. Their is nobody on the course at this time all tee times are wide open. Please call and give the new staff a try, they really need your business. New putting green and all brush removed on the left of 1,2 and 3 fairways. I am not an employee i play there every week and hate seeing only anywhere between 2 to 8 players total for the whole day.

    We played today Wednesday 12-05-18. Greens fee was about 29.00. Pace of play was good. I’ve seen fields in the woods that had better grass than this golf course. The greens all had disease and full of sand. Here is my opinion.nobody cares about this GC. The cups haven’t been changed in weeks the sand traps were awful. All it takes is someone who cares. Change the pin locations and rake the traps. How long wud that take? I saw workers there who obviously don’t care. We saw a girl driving a mower but never saw her mow one thing. But she looked like she was having fun. If your going to charge 30 bucks maybe u cud do a few things to show people you care. I’ve seen goat ranches in better shape! So save your money because the condition is awful. Bill

    Played this course in August and it was in good shape. A few dry spots but nothing that caused any problems. Only issue with this course is, if you haven't played it, on some holes it is not obvious where you should be aiming. Familiarity is an advantage.

    This course is awful, I only play here when my friend buys me a round, if its free I dont care, I wouldnt pay to play here..though it does have some nice holes this is not a course to hone your game...there are way better courses than this and not that pricey at all...

    Was in town for the Nascar race and wanted to play a quick round. Ended up being anything but quick. Five and a half hours to play 18 holes! No attempt at speeding up slow play at all. Course itself was in terrible condition. Dead spots, piles of dry dirt, dust so thick you couldn't follow another cart within 75 feet without goggles. Played here because the green fees are cheap and one of our players is a high handicapper. Still not worth the price. I've seen hacked up driving ranges in better condition. Trust me, the four and five star ratings are from someone with an interest in this course.
