Played Saturday of Labor Day weekend. Considering the Tri-County fair was going on and holiday weekend, the course was relatively uncrowded. I walked on at about 8:15 am and was immediately sent to the tee riding as a solo single. Quite a few twosomes and threesomes out there, and one foursome with three cheerful toddlers hanging out in the golf carts, but I was able to play through three groups not counting the one that stopped at the coffee shop after nine as I drove by. Loved the easy going etiquette of the other players. Got around in a shade under 2.5 hours.

The course is a mixed bag. There is a sign at the entrance to the pro shop apologizing that they had overseeded the course. I was told it was because of burned out areas from the summer heat. The rough was not as lush as I have seen it in the past and there were some thin burned out areas in some fairways, but overall it was better than expected after seeing the sign. Very playable. The tee boxes were just okay. They seem to become more crowned each year so one has to search for a flat lie.

The greens were excellent. I was told on the first tee by a guy walking off the course that the greens were slower than they looked. I found them to be slower than normal, medium speed or faster as they dried out. They rolled really well although I left a few downhill putts short.

Great service as always from the pro shop. Friendly and professional. The coffee shop was packed as I left with late breakfast/early lunch crowd. I think the deck outside has really helped business there.

Highly recommended if in the area. Do try to use bug repellent though. While it was not as bad as I have seen it in the past, I forgot the spray and I have some mosquito bites to show for it.
