Played today and the conditions were poor. Greens were spongy with many imperfections. You have a better lie in the rough than on the fairway in most cases. There is no sand in the bunkers. Many of the surrounds are full of crab grass. There are many stumps from trees that have fallen or been cut down. Instead of removing the stumps, they are just left there. Didn't see a ranger on the course all day to speed up slow groups. They have some nerve to charge $75.00 for this course.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I won't play again, I wouldn't recommend this course, More than a field, but less than a golf course, Worse than average course for the area, Any price would be too much for this courses
