This course was a great course the past few years. But that was then, and this is now.
The upkeep of the facility, the course and particularly the greens has degraded. Half of the time I did not even try to putt, the greens were that bad.
The most unbelieveable course markings every marke is all red all white or no marking at all.
No water to drink on the first 13 holes. No water until the 14th hole. It was hot, so did someone else drink all the water? I doubt it. I do not think that there were 10 other players on that course..and with good cause as I have found...Maybe I will try them again next year, but they have lost me for a repeat this year.
Did not see a ranger. Of course, pace of play was not an issue. They had other problems.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Average course for the area, Better courses for less nearby
