Clubhouse is closed for renovation. Office is a construction trailer. No real practice facilities. Tee boxes are uneven and poorly maintained. Greens are of a good size, but have lots of weeds. Fairways have stones. I play this course once a year to remind me what a golf course is not supoosed to look like.

Very spread out course. Greens were very undulating and difficult. Balls in the rough would sit down and make it very hard to find. Beautiful course and surroundings, but very difficult course (especially in the 25 mph winds we played in). Would enjoy playing this course with less wind and when my game was fairly consistent.
