This was my first round today, using a $24 anytime voucher bought through GolfGuide.net. Wasn't worth that. They open at 8:00 through winter. I went off by myself and was the only one on the course until after I finished around 10:00. Total ghost town other than the little restaurant here, which was busy with regulars. I had breakfast there while I was waiting for the pro shop to open. I will say the people around here are super nice and I like the relaxed little mountain town vibe, so there are some positives before I get to the course itself... This course is an absolute mess. I know they actually shut down at some point, but it does sound like they are starting to put some effort in and bring it back to decency. It doesn't show yet as this whole course should probably be roped off as GUR. Tee boxes all over the place. Fairways mostly just bare dirt with bumpy ground underneath and the occasional patch of clumpy grass. Not a good lie to be found. Rough more of the same, but perhaps a bit more grass than most fairways. Bunkers looked like war zones. Greens were okay in relation to everything else. At least they were green and reasonably lush, just shaggy, bumpy and slow. I figured this place would be somewhat rough around the edges given its recent struggles, but wow! Too bad because the layout does have some rural mountain course charm with lots of old trees and some moderately hilly terrain. Could be something pretty good with a TON of work, but just trying to grow a little more grass on top of the lumpy mess that is there now will not really improve anything much. Best to avoid this place unless you have a "must play everything" checklist like me : )
