$61 (cart included), played on Saturday, September 2009 at 8am
We were told earlier in the week that greens would be aerated the following week. When we showed up Saturday they were aerated. We did get a $20 discount, but we had meticulously checked out courses which had not yet been aerated to play those only. Bummer.
Our tee time we remembered was for 8 am. When we arrived the pro shop said, no it's 9 am. Cool, we can practice and putt. Wrong - no balls on the range and the practice green is like the beach. Then to our surprise the starter comes looking for us say 'where have you been, it's 8 am!'.
We say no yardage book. No hole layout on score card. Had no idea how far some spots on the course were so needless to say we ended up some places we didn't want to play.
Overall it's an OK course, but I wouldn't go out of my way.l
