Commentary:

Nice little track. Paid $16 using GolfNow, and at that rate this course is worth a visit. More than that? Not so much. The design is okay, but the conditions are pretty run down.

Ended up playing with Kevin from Kentucky and Joe from Carmel. Nice guys, and it was nice to have someone to share my good round with: Link to scorecard: HERE

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.
