I have been a member for 8-10 years, during which time, the course had seen some good improvement. There are daily games of several skill levels among the members that visitors are welcome to join.
Saying that, course has had, and continues to have, ownership problems. Present owner is not keeping the course in good playing condition. The main problem seems to be the total lack of interest of the owner to run a golf course. He apparently bought the course with the idea of selling it off as building lots. Since his ownership began, the restaraunt and dining facillities and bar have been closed and at least some of the money to maintain the course is coming from donations fron area businesses and members. With any kind of a decent owner, the course, which is 18 holes, would be the best in the area.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
Difficulty, Layout, Price, Ambiance, Pace of Play, Staff
Condition of Course, Clubhouse, Food/Bar Facilities , Pro Shop
