Fairways were in great shape, rough a little unfair for anyone, needed to be cut badly especially with the marshall's focus on fast play. Marshall was kind of a dick, wanting our group to pick up the pace even though we were less than a hole behind the group in front of us and two in front of the group behind. Have no idea where he thought we'd go. Now for the kicker, some of the WORST greens I have seen anywhere this year, dry, dead spots, rutty and just plain crappy. No excuse for them being that horrible this time of year. Other area courses had fantastic greens. Would call this about a $50 track at tops in the shape it's in right now. Starter was great.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby, Worse than average course for the area
