In case you were wondering

Played today

No range balls just out there. Have to pay for them at a machine and get a bucket.

Greens are totally lost. Majority are burnt grass with some sand.

#8 that fun par three was legitimately a joke to try and putt on

$80 to play there is way way way over priced

Man that is such a shame. I played out there a year or so ago and it was on its way to being lost. I think there’s some members who post here who say they’ve recently changed management companies.

Sad what has happened to that place.

Early to mid 2000’s that place was so much fun to play.

They are closing next month to replace every green. Believe june 20 or so. Hopefully this new stuff is as good as advertised.

In their defense yes the member I was playing with said they are replacing all the greens

So I mean I get that they are "letting them go" to go back to a blank canvas essentially... but jeez

Still charging premier course prices to play a course that is just on a downtrend to close and redo everything is pretty ridiculous

Are they still in charge out there? Last time they replaced greens at a course around here they ended up putting them in the middle of the fairway at the city park north course.

That’s good news. Hopefully once the greens are replaced the course picks up again. I really like the layout and design.

Not convinced their "budget" plan is the way to go. They have attempted to re-sod areas in the past few years that never took so the current idea of sprigging without removing sufficient soil complex doesn't give me much hope.
