April Course Conditions⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Greens & fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were understandably slow being early April. If you’ve played it you know it plays long & tough even without leaves on the trees! The bunkers get a pass until season kicks into full swing so hopefully they’ll maintain them. Best flags in the game!

Nice course, but needs work!

Great layout, but I won't be back until I see what the new owners do!

Good layout. Poor Maintenance

It's evident this course is not being maintained. Although the greens are being kept up, the fairways are in terrible shape. the bunkers have stones in them. Would not play here again.
