$56 (cart included), played on Sunday, November 2010 at noon
My number one complaint was the lack of ball mark repair. The greens were so pitted from fresh ball marks from that day's play it was difficult to put. Ball marks were so abundant my playing partner remarked that it appeared to be have "low end public course players on an above average golf course". In the end, I guess that's what happens when quality golf courses lower their prices to compete. I say raise the price, reduce the play and invest more in player education.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
