This course is a terrific layout, but even after the "renovation", it suffers due to lack of proper maintenance. I have discussed my concerns with the pro shop and got little more than an "it's not in our current budget to do that". Unfortunately we are talking about BUNKERS that haven't seen a rake in days, haven't been edged, and are hard packed. I have seen a lot of waste bunkers in better shape. Essentially, they are only maintaining the NEW bunkers and leaving the others untouched. you can't blame it on a lack of sand and drainage problems totally, as it BS, because a little manual labor and care and concern could solve these problems. This kind of maintenance on a course with this potential is just a SIN!
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Average course for the area, Better courses for less nearby, Worse than average course for the area
