Beautiful layout with very tough elevations & bunkers. Greens held well & were difficult. One of the best public courses in the state - give it 4 and 1/2 stars.

Fairways were all in bad shape. Alot of the greens were marked off and alot of the tee aress were in horrible shape No way worth the price we had to pay. Will not go back again

Played early in the year and conditions weren't great. Layout is fun and there are some challenging holes. I liked the feel of this course and had an enjoyable round. Greens were Ok for the time we played. Will be back to play it again.

I've played this course a handful of times and always look forward to the challenge and quality of the course. I was sorely disappointed in the shape of the course. There were a lot of areas in the fairways that had major damage from the heat or some such thing. Several fairways had burned stripes that you'd see from an oil leak on a mower. Despite the heat and dry summer to this point, the greens were extremely soft and in terrible shape. A lot of pitch marks and spike marks. No true roll on a single green. For the money, the course was in terrible shape. Regardless of the weather, there's no excuse for this considering the fees they charge. I like this course, but wouldn't recommend going to it until mid-2011 in hopes that the cosmetic problems get fixed by then.

Day 72 - 100 days, 100 courses (Friday, May 24, 2019)
I LOVE going out in the morning and playing 18 at my pace before it gets hot.
Today I got bored at the hotel so went to the course early and they sent me out on the back 9 because it was empty.
The course had a lot of nice holes and my only complaint is with Mother Nature. 3 straight days of an inch or more of rain makes for one very wet course.
I lost two balls and in spite of that, I shot an 84.
