Greens need work

The only reason I would recommend this course is the price to play it. It was OK for the $46. to play but the greens need work for sure. Layout was good but clubhouse was closed for a bite or pint at 3 in the afternoon.

Nice layout

Playable. Greens are very good. Fairways are thin. Sand traps have not been raked in awhile and need work. Nothing is so terrible that more work wouldn't fix.

Good layout, poor shape

This course had a nice layout, but the conditions were marginal at best. Lots of bare spots and even weeds in the fairways, lots of poa and other contaminants on the greens. Disappointing, but just needs work.

Bad first impression

Was my first time playing course. Was not told they do not offer rain checks. Lighting was close in area so stopped after nine. Would have been nice if they told me they do not offer rain checks. Was sunny when I stated playing.

Good fun locally

Fun course with great challenges. Easy to recover from bad shots. Good pace of play. Quiet and relaxing course with asthetics that put you into a different environment and themes that’s transport you to different course around the country.

Needs work

For a Course to have the words "country Club" in their name you would think the course would be in "country club" condition. This course is far from that. The tee boxes were over grown and had a lot of unevenness. Numerous times I had to retee my ball because when I addressed the ball my feet were in a hole. The rough was nothing but weeds and clover. The sand bunkers were ok. The sand was inconsistent from hole to hole. The greens were ok but speeds varied from green to green. I was a single following 3 twosomes and it still took 4 hours to play. No rangers. This course could really use some work in order to keep the words "Country Club" in their name.

Needs work

Course layout definitely has potential, but obviously not a lot of money being put back into it. Greens were good but rest, of course was lacking in grass considerably.

Greens were in very good condition.

Overall appearance of this club is very sad and run down. Sorry to see it. Must have been very nice in its day, but now it looks as if it's been "rode hard and put up wet".

At least the greens weren’t too bad

Thank goodness that the greens are puttable, there are some bad spots, but for 16 out of the 18 holes I was able to put across descent grass.
The fairways and tee boxes are a completely different story. It is a shame that when you hit a drive in the middle of the fairway there is not grass and you have to move your back 10+ yards to find a crappy lie. There were holes that I chose to move my ball from the fairway to the rough to get a decent lie.
The bunkers looked like they had not been raked in weeks. It also looked like only the fairways are getting mowed.
I love the design of this course and wish it was maintained better, but $50 during the week to play a course in such overall bad condition is not acceptable!!!
