$16 (cart included), played on Tuesday, October 2013 at 8am
Our group of travelling seniors played here 10-1-13 for $20, with the Tee Time book, a fair price for this quality of course in this condition.
Have reviewed the course before, so will confine remarks to conditions. In a word: rough, largely because of no irrigation system. Tee boxes are OK, but have some bare spots. Fairways were VERY firm, with lots of sparse patches: had to move the ball to grass on almost every shot. Lots of GUR. Bunkers were very poor, with thin sand and lots of rocks (there was a sign in the clubhouse saying it was OK to move the ball in bunkers...don't see that too often). Greens were in good shape, and putted fairly fast, but were extremely hard: in 18 holes, never had to fix a single pitch mark...couldn't find any to fix!
Staff, as always, was gracious and helpful.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area
