This used to be a fairly nice 9 hole course, not the best layout, but okay for a quick nine holes. We never had to wait for a tee time, because there was no one there besides the regulars sitting at the bar. It's a locals course. Uncomfortable with the locals watching.
Since the clubhouse burned down it looks like they've given up. I've played a few times since the fire, but not any more. The owners attitude seems as if they don't care. Several greens have more dirt than grass. The water hazards are filled with scum. It's just a place that I wouldn't go back to.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Worse than average course for the area
None worth mentioning
