About five years ago this course used to be a hidden gem. They must be struggling because the condition of the course has significantly declined. The greens aren’t bad for a typical public course (hardly anyone repairs ball or spike marks), but areas around the greens, tee boxes and some spots on the fairways are basically dirt.
Then throw in no water or cart girl on the course in the middle of the summer and you should really chalk this up to a $15 course.
