The course layout is interesting, with a few holes that are different that most courses. The only problems I had with the course was the condition of the fairways and greens (and bunkers). The fairways are not bentgrass and seem to be just a mixture of grasses. Considering the weather (it's been a draught for several months) they were in decent shape for the type of grass. Also, the rough basically is identical in the type of grass and even the length - the only difference is the grass is fairway was in a little better shape. The greens were not horrible, but all seemed to have way too many spike marks around the hole, making me wonder if the do not move the holes very often. Overall the course was a good price with a variety of types of holes and presents a decent challenge. If they put in bentgrass fairways and took better care of the grees this would be a nice course.
Would travel: 10- 20 miles
Bottom line: Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
