I will not bring my tournament group back here. There is no excuse for the condition of the tee boxes. Extremely uneven and overly dry so there are tee boxes that are almost dead. The tee boxes are absolutely the worst Ive played on in the past 10 years or so. The fact that they are undulating due to tons of bumps makes finding a good spot to tee the ball up damn near impossible. The traps are not in any better shape than the tee boxes they are extremely bare of sand in almost all traps. Some are actually completely empty and sport GUR signs in each. The strangest thing is that while the tees are dying from lack of water the fairways were so over watered that it was impossible to not leave muddy cart tracks everywhere. When you hit a shot that you know will run you don't get any because the ball just landed in velcro. On a 1 - 10 scale I'd give this course a solid 3 maybe 4. I used to feel it ranked in the 7-9 area.

Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I won't play again, I wouldn't recommend this course, More than a field, but less than a golf course, Better courses for less nearby, Any price would be too much for this courses
