$41 (cart included), played on Thursday, March 2012 at noon
I had not played this course in a couple of years and decided to play again since we had gotten a weekday special. Most of the time, the cost is usually more than we are willing to pay. The fairways have deteriated some and more houses have been built around the course. The greens were in pretty good shape. The big knock I have is the fact that we had a 12:30 tee time, but the powers that be there decided to squeeze in 3 5'sums ahead of us, delaying our time and making our round 5 hours and 15 minutes. We BARELY got our round in. Also, I felt bad for the cart girl also having to be the starter as well, and dealing with the large number of people teeing playing that day. Not what you would expect from a supposely up scale course like this.
At what we paid, $41, a good deal. But would not paid normal rates for this track. There are courses in just as good a shape for less money elsewhere.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles
Bottom line: Average course for the area, Better courses for less nearby
