Dye-ing to play

Kearney is a challenging second shot golf course. The layout is fairly wide open from the tee, The greens are slick with a lot of undulations. I am a fairly good putter and I had three putt and a four putt.
Ball marks were really bad. A few holes on the back clearly have irrigation issues as there were a few swamps on a couple fairways.

Poor course conditions

The tee boxes were all weeds and fairways were hard and weedy. Needed water and fertilizers. Sand was 1/2 inch of raked sand but very hard.

Greens were in decent shape so no complaints there.

Not Worth It

Course condition was horrible. EVERY green torn up. Lots of sprinkler heads leaking which resulted in muddy area around greens. Lots of bare spots on tee boxes. No starter or marshall.
The people i was paired with stated the course gets worst every year.
