I have to temper that rating. Played there Monday, April 13, 2015. The greens fees were $45 for riding, with no discount for seniors. The greens obviously hadn't been mowed since last year and were extraordinarily slow. In addition, there weren't even rakes at any of the sand traps, resulting in foot prints and other obvious disruptions to the sand.

Given those adverse golfing conditions it would have been prudent to offer lower rates. The net result was a black eye for the management, which of course will heal over time since the course, when in good condition, is one of the area's finest. However, a black eye nonetheless, and one that was unnecessary . . . one caused by lack of inconsideration for golfing clients.
