I have played this course many times over the years and the course was always in great shape. In April, 2010, I played a round and the course was in sad shape. They were re-doing the bunkers so there was no sand in them. I figured it was because it had just opened and they had work to do. I went back in June and it was horrendous. There was still no sand, the fairways were like straw, and the greens were so bumpy, you couldn't make a putt more than 2 feet. I was told by the cashier that since it's a State owned course, and the State was having money problems, they had zero dollars in the budget. Yet they still charged full price to play in a cow pature. I will not be going back there again!
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Worse than average course for the area
