Our group of travelling seniors played here October 18, 2017 on our annual golf trip from MD. We were attracted by the Donald Ross name, and that was a mistake. The course has good bones, and some really challenging holes, despite being pretty short. Conditions, however, were terrible. Fairways very patchy, with lots of bare/thin patches, and inexplicable wet spots (leaky irrigation pipes, underground springs??). Bunkers were almost unplayable: several had significant standing water. Greens were even worse: very inconsistent, bumpy, bare, grass clippings, and lotsa unrepaired ball marks. Course obviously gets a lot of play, but is barely worth the $19.63 fee. Staff was cordial and very competent. City fathers need to put a few $$ into what could be a cool little layout. We do NOT recommend.
