SOME NICE HOLES, WITH ELEVATION, WATER AND SOME CHALLENGING LENGTH. BUT GREENS TOO FLAT, SMALL AND LACKING CONTOUR. FRINGES AROUND GREENS OFTEN IN TERRIBLE REPAIR. CONDITION IS IMPROVING EACH YEAR BUT WITH TURF GRASS INSTITUTE AT LOCAL UNIVERSITY WE SHOULD HAVE BETTER CONDITIONS. ALSO SHOULD UPDATE (REBUILD) GREENS AND BUILD MORE TEES. COURSE ORININALLY BUILT IN 50'S AND NEEDS SOME SIGNIFICANT WORK TO BE UP TO STANDARDS OF SOME OTHER COURSES IN THE REGION.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Ambiance, Staff, Pro Shop
Difficulty, Layout, Houses on Course, Clubhouse, Food/Bar Facilities
