Off the beaten track. Ridiculously cheap. Well-maintained in general, but greens and fairways a bit weak. Greens are slow and bumpy right now. Doesn't get much play, so play is fast. A great sunny day diversion. The layout is fair with some surprisingly challenging holes. Drainage is poor on #3 and #4 so in spite of a local drought, they are soggy, but play OK. The folks who run this course and staff the pro shop are personable. This is an undiscovered treasure for cheap fun golf.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
