Course in best shape I’ve ever seen it in but still not very good. I have multiplt complaints starting with being overcharged $9. I wanted the $25 junior rate that is clearly listed on the website is a riding rate. The guy insisted that was a walking rate and $34 which is college student rate was the riding rate for juniors. I know it is $25 cause I played there a month ago and paid $25. I should have just left, but whatever I wanted to play. Fairways and greens are actually green now but still not very good. Fairways are thick and need to be desperately mowed. Speaking of mowing, on 4th hole, a mower was driving down fairway and would not move to side and let us hit. After we hit, he stayed in the middle and didn’t move for our second shot either. The greens were consistent but extremely SLOOOOOOW! Also, the roughs around the greens were a little thick for a fairly easy golf course. Specific complaints, 3rd hole tee boxes terrible and 18th hole green there was a ballmark every square inch. All in all, not bad but not great. It wasnt crowded at all though.
