I don't like giving bad ratings BUT the first eight (8) holes had lots of problems with the overall conditions. We heard that heavy rains on Friday kept the weekend mowers off the course (True) but that doesn't excuse tee box conditions, fairways and lack of yardage markers. I believe years ago, this was a great track as the layout hints to, but most of the fairways needed weed control and the rough had bald spots mixed with thick grass. Had the yardage sticks in the fairway but miss the sprinkler heads being marked. The back 9 is the better side and leaves you with a feeling that, maybe I will come back under better conditions if price is under $25/18holes. Blue tee box note: Most of them have been abandoned and moved to share the white yardage. (6,559 to 6,134)
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Worse than average course for the area
