I love the game and play by the rules. I have been playing for over 35 years, so I get a little serious with my own game, but realize others aren't serious most of the time and don't let what they are doing on the course affect what I am doing. I like to play all over the place and like the course conditions to be better than average.

I left after hole 11, but one member of our group kept going and he finished in the dark.
I could not recommend this course right now. Something is going on with the overseed? or the bermuda vs. rye situation? or??? I'm not a horticulturist by any means, but things just seem a bit off with the fairways, greens and fringes.
The greens were bumpy and didn't hold a shot very well. Very hard and lots of small unrepaired ball marks.
Rough wasn't very penal, easy to get a club on the ball. It was only about an inch or so longer than the fairways.
Fairways had some white "bloom" going on and a mixture of grasses. Quite a bit of thin areas and they're using green dye/spray to make it look presentable.
The fringes were super wierd. Veriable patches of different grasses and bare spots. Once again painted/dyed green for appearance.
Bunkers were a mixed bag, some hardpan and wet while others were in ok shape with fluffier sand.
We played the green tees (alternating mix of white and blue tees) and they were fine, not a big problem.
Saw the beverage cart once, but didn't partake, I brought my own bottle of water.
Practice putting green was aerated and sanded, the little fake grass putting green is a joke, no help with real practice, so that was kind of a bummer.
I forgot my Golfbuddy voice GPS which was a huge mistake when you're walking. There is no yardage signs anywhere in the fairways. No sprinklers are marked whatsoever, no yardage discs whatsoever. Carts have GPS, so if you're walking make sure you bring some GPS device or a laser range finder.
I just can't recommend this course right now, especially for any rack rate. Even the $40 twilight rate was tough to swallow. Hope they get some maintenance done on the course soon. » Close Snuck out to Nado yesterday as a single, Sunday, April 21.

Called the starter around 2:30 and he said come on out and I got right out when I arrived at 3:15. Got paired up with three really nice guys, as usual. $36 to walk twilight rate, non-resident. $30 resident rate.
Blue Tees were all pretty nice, no complaints. Fairly level and not too much divot damage.
Fairways were in great shape. Never had a bad lie all day and they provided good cushion with proper roll out on drives.
Rough wasn't very long, but it was "patchy", some low bare/thin areas next to some higher clumps of grass that could cause some issues.
Traps were in good shape, found one greenside bunker and it had nice fluffy sand. Found one fairway bunker and it was just fine. No problems.
Greens were about as slow as I've ever seen them. They're still recovering from aeration a couple weeks ago, so they were slow and bumpy. They did hold shots well, but putting was difficult.
POP wasn't too bad, finished 18 just in time before darkness set in. Total POP was 4.5hrs, which is acceptable at this course. (often times it can go 5 - 5.5 hrs). Customer service is always good. The starters are always great. Didn't see the beverage cart for some reason, but not a big deal, didn't need anything. Always recommend. » Close It's been about a decade since I played the small course here. We played yesterday, Sunday, at 10:48am.

POP was right at 2hrs even though we waited on just about every teebox, this place gets a lot of play. Everything right now is in good to very good condition. Teeboxes as suspected are a little beat up, but they're fairly level except number 5, and all have pretty good coverage.
Fairways are in great shape, a pleasure to hit from.
Found one bunker and it was just fine, no complaints.
Greens were good to very good. Definitely quick, beware. Stay below the hole. Lots of lip outs today, too.
Customer service just fine, no complaints. $22.50 to walk, resident rate, is just fine. Definitely recommend and really should get out here more often. » Close Played Sunday, 3/10, teetime 7:20am.

Walking, I think it was $60, POP was 4hrs. CPO on the front nine, the place is a soaked disaster, especially to walk with my pull cart. Super muddy betweent tees and fairways. Stupid drainage ditch that cuts off just about every fairway on the front nine and it plays as a lateral hazard. I hadn't been here in about 15yrs and found the ditch 3 times with perfectly struck shots, I just didn't know the yardages properly. Oh well, it'll probably be another 15yrs before I return.
Teeboxes were ok, no complaints, we played from the whites. They were level with decent coverage. Fairways were in ok shape, super wet and patchy. Guys I were playing with were playing lift clean and place, for good reason. Bunkers were soft for about one inch of sand and then hard pan, oh well, to be expected with all this rain we've had. Avoid these bunkers. Rough was thick and juicy, lots of clover and weeds, you had to be right on top of your ball to find it. Greens were about the only saving grace of the course. They were in good shape and held shots very well. No beverage cart and no frills clubhouse. The back nine is super fun, wish the front wasn't so quirky. I wouldn't fully recommend at this time, maybe give it a few weeks to dry out. I didn't think the $60 walking rate was worth it, either. » Close Played yesterday, Sunday, Feb 25. 7:20am, $73 to walk.

Course as expected was very wet and soggy except for the greens, they were fairly dry and unusually hard, especially with all this rain we've been having. Fairways were very wet, we had to play lift clean and place due to mud. Other than that, they were in decent shape.
Rough was brutal in most spots, super thick and long. Most of the time you had to just shop it out with a short iron.
White tees were wet and weren't in very good shape, had to take some extra time to find a good spot to tee it up.
Bunkers were not in very good shape. People have neglected to rake them.
Greens were in good shape. They were a little on the hard side and provided a little more roll than expected. They rolled true and were pretty quick. Definitely the highlight.
Saw the beverage cart once. Customer service in the proshop was just fine. It's a fun course, has a lot of good holes, a couple of clunker holes (number 2 and 3 not a fan). I recommend at least once a year. » Close
