10 years ago this was a fantastic, pristine track! Something isn’t right here because the course conditions are truly pitiful and getting worse. I’ve played here 3 times in the last 5 months and the conditions got worse every time I’ve played. I traveled an hour to play here expecting what I’ve experienced in the past but even at $20/player w/cart, it’s just not worth it. Well, maybe if you lived in the neighborhood.
The previous review nails the course conditions in perfect detial, no need to reiterate. He did mention that the driving range was nothing more than a field. Well, they actually let it go on purpose as it’s being removed. I don’t know what option they will have for a range moving forward.
When in shape, this is a great track with lots to offer. You need every shot in the bag and some days the wind can make it a real challenge! Don’t judge this course by its yardage, it has lots of teeth. It’s also a course you need to play once or twice as your strategy might change on how you play some holes once you’ve experienced what it has to offer.
