Very nice

This is the first time I've played this course since the new renovation. I didn't even recognize it, and that is a good thing. They still have a good range (mats only I believe), a now have a nice short game area, and a practice green. The course was in very good shape, and we were all surprised at the pace of play. We teed off at 4pm on a Monday (gorgeous day), and pace was a breeze. The only knock is the greens had ball marks everywhere. That's a knock on the players though as no one seems to take the extra time to repair them. Overall it was a great experience, and we will be back.

Welcome back

Decent course with rather large greens. The greens were very bumpy and had way too many unfixed ball repairs. Very nice putting greens and chipping areas but way too many divots around chipping green.

Thankfully it was a hot deal

First time playing since the name change.
New clubhouse and all that it brings to play are terrific.
Nice bar and restaurant, good pro shop and friendly staff.
The course was not renovated as part of the new clubhouse. Additionally, the course needs some work.
Tee boxes and greens are rough in several cases.
Pace of play was ssssssllllllloooooowwwwww.
Course rangers finally got on the course on the back 9 to pro a 3-some along.
I played on a hot deal which made this acceptable.

Great Renovation

This was my second time playing this course post renovation. It's a fair course with some challenging holes. The fairways, rough, and tee boxes are all in excellent shape. The bunkers and greens need improvement, but for $70 you truly cannot complain. I'm sure the course receives a ton of play hence for the average condition of the greens, and for a public track the bunkers are what they are with minimal sand. I will be back for sure!

solid track would play again

Greenskeeper set the pins in places that were very difficult. Probably the hardest that that course could’ve played in my opinion. Big things are in the review back was how rude and unhelpful the starter was.

Great course, mostly great condition.

Course was in good condition, a few silver tee boxes were pretty bare. Could definitely use a much larger sign with direction from the 9th green to the 10th tee.

The Course Conditions Need To Be Improved

Most of the greens were in very good condition, but the green speeds were a little slow. All of the tees on the par 3 holes had a large amount of unrepaired divots and there were no sand buckets on the tees. Not too many players will walk back to the cart to get a sand bottle and very few of the large number of walking players would even think of carrying a sand bottle. Many of the fairways had bad areas and there were a number of ropes on the course to redirect the players around those areas. On 16, you couldn't even access the fairway with a cart since the conditions were so bad.

When we reached the par 3 8th tee, the group in front of us was just walking onto the green. When they were done, we teed off. We were approached by a "Player Assistant" as we were nearing the green and were told that we were four minutes behind and that there was a backup of players behind us. We asked the "Player Assistant" what the pace of play expectation was since we had been on the course for just 1 hour and 45 minutes, and did not receive a response. We made the turn in less than two hours. We were keeping pace with the group ahead of us and had to wait on many tees up to that point. The Player Assistant needs some additional training.

There is no water or restrooms available on the course except at the one food and drink area that is near the middle of each nine.
