$61 (cart included), played on Wednesday, July 2012 at 8am
Played here 7-11-12 at 0830, and paid $65 as a senior, which is about $25 too much, considering the general state of golf these days, and the competitive climate. It is a nice course, has some interesting holes, but oh so many houses, with more abuilding (guess someone's economy is rebounding!). Course conditions were good, with very large greens that putted medium fast. Bunkers are plentiful, some are VERY deep, but all were in excellent shape, and very playable. Clubhouse is quite nicely done, but the pro shop staff seemed a little indifferent. Similarly, the on-course maintenance folks seemed pretty surly, and didn't even wave as they went by. I played well, and enjoyed the round, but can't recommend the course, simply because there are other "better" places fairly close more reasonably priced, and that make the player (and payer) feel more welcome.
