Not ready for play

First and last time playing there. This is another poorly run public course. Not in good condition. Neither the scorecard or hole signs showed the hole layout. It lacked signs in many places to show the way to the next hole. Be sure to bring what you need to play because the pro shop won’t have it. Despite paying for 18, I left after 9 holes.

Course in awful condition

Greens are in terrible shape. About 25% of each green is bare and just dirt. Tee boxes are either bare or weed infested. I would never return here, even if I played for free. Shame because the course layout is quite nice and it could become a very nice course

Good for practice.

The fairways, greens, and bunkers are in terrible shape, probably exacerbated by the drought. I played course 2.

You get what you pay for

I paid like $40 to play 18 WITH a cart.
Tee boxes hacked up
Fairways dormant
Greens were patchy, dry, and thicker than molasses. If you don’t put it within 3 feet there’s no way you are making a putt. I also don’t think anyone ever fixes their divots on the greens.

Some years ago the course was pretty good for the price. Not sure what happened but I’m not sure if I’m going back there again. Very unfortunate.
