A challenging muni, usually in very good shape. Not country club conditions, but way better than a typical muni.

Would travel: 0-10 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing

Ancil's park-like setting is just gorgeous. Usually the course is in great shape, but conditions have deteriorated lately. The fairways are pretty thin, just OK. The greens are really bad now with bare spots and lots of ball damage. The new # 14 green (horrible redesign choice) is a disaster--many large areas of bare dirt, plus lumpy surface where there is grass. It's a sad thing to see a great course in such poor condition.

Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
