Usually the course is in decent shape, but they allowed winter play on frosty greens and a half dozen of the 27 holes have large bare spots and a few greens appear in danger of having to be redone entirely. Hopefully, warmer weather will help. The greens that are okay, apppear to suffer from neglect, they are bumpy and a little fuzzy. Not up to their usual standards.
