I thought conditions were fine. They had just aerated the greens on the back 9 so I don't know what the reference to letting it go to the dumps means. No uncleared branches. Fairways were mowed. It is a public course - not a country club so there were bald spots here and there. Lots of wild life-Deer, rabbits, even saw an eagle. Pro shop guy was fine by me. Was not too crowded on a Friday afternoon. Relatively flat so walking was not difficult. Probably not a big challenge course if you are a par- 85 golfer but I enjoyed it fine and thought everyone I met very pleasant and having a great time. Facilities and buildings are old and not fancy. They were renovating the Coffee shop.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
