Let me start by saying the conditions were not as bad as some people have said. The course was green (likely due to recent wet weather) and the greens were smooth (although very hard) so this course is playable. That being said, if you are an above average golfer (conditions make it hard to score well) or someone who is used to playing nicer courses I would not suggest playing this course. The fairways were not very good and sometimes were hard to distinguish from the rough. The greens are small and very hard, so they are almost impossible to hit even with a good shot without getting lucky. Also plan on losing some golf balls if you miss the fairways. Even on shots that are not too bad there are areas with a lot of debris (leaves, sticks, mud) so it is easy to lose a golf ball. The price at the course is nice if you walk ($25), but an additional $17 for a cart makes this course overpriced. It is a good course for the casual golfer who is not picky about the conditions.
