Commentary:

The man in the pro shop was nice, but they had run out of logo balls. It is one of my traditions to collect a ball from every course that I play. He took extra time to look though.

Course is, well, pretty cheap. You can get a GolfNow rate for $9, including 18 and a cart. But, the course is pretty bad. By comparison it is a little bit more interesting than EdWood Glen, but the conditions are more like Oak Grove. The greens are like putting on thick shag carpet. It was a 30-minute drive to go play in order to scratch this one off my local list. I won’t be back out again, so I hope I find a logo ball from this course somewhere in the abandoned rough while still living in the area.

I took both of my boys with me. They are super loud when they are together so it is a good thing that no one was out there. The weather wasn’t bad for Nov. 1st, hovering right around 50-degrees.

My scorecard for the round: LINK

10 – Simply amazing, go play this a.s.a.p.! Are you on your way?!

9 – One of the best, just not spot on "perfect" in every way. Play It!

8 – One of the best courses in the area; well worth the trip to play.

7 – Worth a round if you are within a reasonable distance. Good conditions and interesting layout.

6 – An above average course that is worth your time if you're close by. Should provide a nice round.

5 – An average course. Decent layout, decent conditions, and the value hits the sweet spot. The one to play after work for a quick round. However, it lacks an overall wow factor.

4 – Below average, but moderately interesting in places.

3 – A poor course. Conditions are pretty bad but the cost of a round usually outweighs the conditions. Play with your friends who are too cheap to pay for a better round of golf.

2 – Bad, but playable. Play it when you need some practice before spending $$$ on a "better" course.

1 – A very bad course, but often has a deal you can't pass up (e.g., I have played a few like this; got 18 and a cart for only $5, yeah, I'd play about anything for that too).

0 – The only way I'd "play" this course if it was in my backyard and it was free. I mean who turns down a free "driving range" which is all that this "course" is good for, not for golf but to hit balls at and forget about.
