    Played here Saturday 7/30. While there have been improvements since new ownership, it is presently in terrible shape. STAY AWAY. They are in the process of losing their greens with some sort of fungus. Most greens are over 40% ruined and brown. Fairways are decent but lots of weeds. DONT GO OFF THE FAIRWAY. Rough was over 12-inches deep in some places. Granted it has apparently rained but it appears they have not cut the rough in a LONG TIME. Hit a ball in the rough and say goodbye. It was hard to understand what exactly is going on there today. Plenty of people standing around and even one guy cleaning the windows to the clubhouse. Put that guy on a mower and get that grass cut!! One green had a tractor on the side of it without a driver just idling with the fan blowing on the green. Nice effort but that green was already gone. Put some mower blades on that tractor and get cutting. Went to the mens room which feels like a sauna – either they had the AC off or it was broken. Seems they have some sort of black mold growing in the vents in there as well (?). At least six of the guys I played with said they will not be back for years. Very disappointing. On the bright side, the beer is cold. Hope this helps some of you out there.

  • Thanks for the heads up!

  • I was coming here to post the same. Also played on 7/30. Mind boggling how much the course has changed in a month or so. If you didn’t step on your ball in the rough, you probably didn’t find it. Steer clear for now.
