Played this course at 10:44 am on June 10, 2018 for $22 tee fee. The course staff was very accommodating even though we had a disastrous time getting to the course due to our own fault and being late, yes late, to the tee time. The course was open and scattered players throughout, we allowed one single player to pass through on the front.

The course conditions were sparse and kind of inconsistent. In my last review I mentioned to come back and play in a year, well ironically enough without thinking of it that's what I did. The renovations including the revamping of the waste area of hole 9 and new green complex on hole 6 were complete, providing a nicer complete ambiance, nothing that changed play in my mind. The fairways were really thin, teetering with some lies being straight off burnt under watered grass. The greens were amazing, they were soft and receptive of all shot types and I got up to a 4 iron to make a pitchmark. The tee boxes were divoted pretty bad on par 3's, some par 4's where people have to lay up. The rough was minimal, basically if you didn't hit the fairway you were PROMISED a terrible lie to spin a wedge instead of PROBABLE from the fairway.

In general, this course is great during the morning when watered and dries out quickly in the afternoon. The prices show that they are still generally competing with nearby courses but have completely fallen out as the Q-School hosting course they once were. The challenge still makes this course a course that's fun to play and makes you humble, but its mainly characterized by the following: extremely dry fairways making drives go 280+ from run out, bunkers that are layered on top of each other near the penny sized greens and lakes that simply aren't being maintained.

I like this course and recommend a visit, just to see how you may like it because of it's playability and resemblance of early 2000's charm.
