This Course (3 sets of 9 holes) USED TO BE a real gem... BUT one can tell that it has fallen on hard times... 1 set of 9 holes already closed down... fairways are getting alittle sparce with crab grass intermingled... They advertised GPS & Free Range time... NO GPS!!! They had GPS but must have lost it... RANGE IS NOT FREE.. used to be free but not now...
So, I was disappointed Big Time!! Hardly ANY water on the course, too so bring your own!!
I hope this Course makes it!! I think they need to drop the Fees down to abt $60 range to invite more play... Staff needs to develop a better attitude, too... I used to love everything abt. this Course... I hope it makes it!! Maybe less cost will invite more play...
Would travel: 20-30 Miles
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby
Difficulty, Layout, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play, Clubhouse
