Haven’t played here in 25 years. All the old staff is gone but the course is in somewhat decent shape. Needs a little or a lot of TLC to bring it back to the course of old but the layout is great. Challenging. It was going to close but I’m hearing the County has provided a reprieve. Simple things like stocking the score card box and sweeping away the spider weds from them would help to change the perceptions.
