Early 3.5 hour round on a nice warm day. Staff is friendly and good at their tasks. Carts come with or without GPS. The yardage provided though by the GPS is not real accurate. The tee boxes were in need of maintenance as many were thin, shaggy and littered with broken tees. They are all level but a few are really full of divots. The rough is about the perfect length to slow down off line shots and easy enough to hit from. Fairways all have total coverage with mostly nice lies to hit from. The back nine had several fairways that has been plugged in the last day or so with the plugs laying everywhere. Those fairways did need the maintenance and should be great in a couple of weeks. The traps are in real nice groomed shape with most being the nice white sand and all had been raked. You will find fairway bunkers that are firm with a darker brown sand and dg mix. The greens were great with only a couple that had a spot or two with brown spots. The greens held shots nicely and were quicker than expected. The large size of most greens is an advantage to those who can roll the ball well. There were very few ball marks and divot mix on the carts with containers on a few holes to refill them. The forced carries and water features are found on many holes with a mostly flat layout. The course conditions, location, rates and pace of play on weekdays make an enjoyable round.

Morning round on Oaks/Creek in 4.5 hours. Staff is always friendly and efficient. The grounds crew was out mowing portions of the course but the grass is long. The tee boxes are looking a little beat up and thin with broken tees abundant. The rough is Thick and Tall again! Shots from the rough were very difficult if you could find your egg. The mowers were not cutting much if any off the length? The fairways had great coverage but there were many non repaired/unfilled divots on many holes. The traps were all well groomed but a few needed to be raked. The greens still have not healed from the plugging. The green speed was very slow and roll was extremely bumpy. Not sure what they haven't done with them but they're still not back to normal? The place is always busy and parking is not fun at times.

Played the Oaks nine on Saturday afternoon in three hours. Staff did not tell us that a juniors tournament was in front of us OR THAT the greens had been punched!! Sadly NONE of these junior golfers knows how to repair their ball marks either!! Quit after that and returned today for 18 holes on the Oaks/Creek nines in a little over four hours. One group had three holes open in front of them and NO marshal?? The tee boxes are all in good condition but the par 3's have an accumulation of broken tees again. The rough has been allowed to grow again and finding a ball in that stuff can be difficult and time consuming. The fairways have total coverage with nice lies on both nines. The mowers are always out before us on Wednesday mornings so nice lies are expected. The traps are all full of good white sand and they had all been raked nicely. The greens are STILL HEALING on both of these nines and should be another week before they recover. The speed of the greens quickened as our round progressed as did the noticeable amount of plugged holes. The greens were somewhat bumpy but did hold well and rolled pretty true. The winds generally pick up here in the early afternoon and today was windy. The staff is always friendly but sometimes not informative enough. The weekday rates are reasonable for the quality of what is offered.

Played in a high school fundraiser tournament Friday morning in a slow 5.5 hour round. The staff and volunteers did a very good job running the outing. The carts continue to stay in good condition and the staff is always busy. The tee boxes were all in nice condition with good coverage. The rough was the right length to assist wayward shots and a good stroke could be put on your ball if you found yourself in it. The fairways had nice total coverage with a mix of turf but good lies were found on most holes. The traps all have a good amount of sand green side but fairway traps hard and compact. Most traps are filled with nice fluffy white sand and easy enough to hit from. The greens were in fabulous shape with very few ball marks and all had total coverage. The speed of the greens are almost back to their usual quickness and rolling very true. Well struck shots held the greens nicely with little roll out. There are many places to find trouble during a round here and great views from a few holes. Definitely recommended with the reasonable rate and great conditions.

Early Sunday morning round in a little over four hours. The staff is always friendly and busy. Most of the carts do not have windshields which can make for a cold trip around the course if using one. They do allow and have walking rates even on the weekend. The entire course is very flat with many water features which makes walking enjoyable. The tee boxes were all dry, scruffy and full of divots. The rough here is pretty much not present. You might find something similar to rough if you spray one too far from the fairways but most holes have nothing to speak of. The fairways were all dry and patchy for the most part with tight thin lies to hit from. Finding a good lies in the fairways usually requires the use of your foot wedge. The traps are still mostly a hard compact dirt/sand mix with a few having better sand. Most of the traps are damp or filled with runoff which again requires the old foot wedge. The greens were punched about a month ago and are in VERY nice shape with total coverage. The green side sections generally are pretty well kept. The greens were slightly firm with only the best of approach shots finding a spot near their landing area. The speed of the greens was pretty quick with not too many ball marks. There are not many hidden breaks but sometimes you will be surprised with what you don't see. The course might want to consider a name change to GEESE LAKES with the what seems like hundreds of them on almost every hole. There were goose droppings from them on every hole from start to finish even a distance from the water features. The rates and pace of play with the location and two 18 hole layouts make for a good round even with the geese and dry conditions.
