Never been out there. Playing Saturday morning. What kind of condition is it in?

Always in great shape.
Never thought the price was worth it. Greens very small and odd shaped. Fun track. Not very challenging

The greens are not in great shape right now. I played it last Friday and several are in bad shape. To top it off a bunch of the members were saying the super will not cut them down so the greens are slow as can be. it’s almost like putting on sand. Not what you expect from a hundred dollar round. Do like the layout.

This wasn't the case at the end of March when I played. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great.

I couldn't believe how small the greens had become over there. They were never big, but the fringe encroachment on the greens was several feet in some instances.

The super left in February and they were taken over by Billy Casper. A lot of cost cutting measures and the greens, fairways and bunkers have definitely been affected. Still a fun layout.

Just finished up. I really enjoyed it. That water that runs alongside the entire course is unique. It's not necessarily in play on every hole, but it's a cool feature. The fairways are in very good shape. The greens have been neglected. They're just too small, ans they're slow. The unputtable portions are not always a factor. A couple of guys in my group had to putt through the dead/unsightly spots, but I never did. And the bunkers don't have much sand in them.

I'll play it again. It's not TPC, but I'd compare it favorably to Lakewood or Bayou Oaks.

Played it today. Most greens were in good shape. Maintenance was working on a few holes, but pin locations were away. Fairways are good. The rest of the course needs some work. Rough is over grown. Rakes weren’t on the course( assuming COVID) but most traps were in ok conditions. Still one of my favorite courses in the area. Hope they can get her back in shape.
