Wide open 9 hole course. No trees anywhere. Very hilly, making for a fyn challenge, especially on the greens. Grass on the course is pretty well kept but it sure seemed like this former landfill is still an active landfill. Please plant some trees for shade if nothing else. Cart paths are just asphalt gravel. Map on the score card does not reflect the current layout but 18 birdies app's map is up to date.
I feel three stars is generous for the course as it plays today, but it appears to be that way because they are working on improvements. The amount of “ground under repair” could be roughly 30% of some holes. Not the worst track but definitely not 4+ stars.
Update: They did put sand in the bunkers, mow, and have done some work on the course. Added another star.
This was our 2nd year going to see the lites it's just amazing. 1st year we mom and I couldn't believe it (moms 93 yoa) this year I took 2 nuns to see it with us they couldn't believe it.
