The rack-rate price for this course is extremely pricy, based on the fact that the condition of the course continues to go down hill. If you pay more than $25 to play this course, you've paid too much. While I do play this course often (when it's windy at the other courses), I have watched UHCC continue to go downhill. They do not rake bunkers in the AM, the greens are pock-marked with unfixed ball marks, fairways are covered with unrepaired divits and there isn't one level tee-box.
I was scheduled to play on Saturday, Jan 15th. When I arrived, they were out of carts. I was told they would have a cart within 30 minutes, so I went and practiced putting. After 30 minutes, I went back to the pro shop to check in, and was again told that I needed to wait another 30 minutes. I chose to go home and watch the football games instead. UHCC - please repair your fairways and greens and rake your traps in the morning. You've really gone downhill these last few years!
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby, Worse than average course for the area
