Attempted to play a round of 18 at 2:30, cashier said we had to be back by 6. Which was fine with me, the owner said that I should just start with 9; I asked if it was busy or something out there. The owner preceded to tell me that was the stupidest question he had ever heard and told me to get out.

Went out there about 2 weeks ago, so it was mid August. The staff were very friendly, I have no complaints in that area. I do have several issues with the course: 1) It is a first come first served basis, they don't do tee times. 2) No credit card's accepted. Only cash. They have an ATM on site. 3) Fairways are in very poor conditions. They are so dry and the grass is very patchy that it makes the ball run forever (like hitting a cart path) since the ground is basically almost as hard as pavement. Even setting up a tee poses a challenge. 4)The greens were OK, but they are quite small. They are the only green areas you'll see on the course, the rest is dried up. 5) The layout of the course is what I found entertaining. Its has lot's of hill's making you have to think carefully how to approach your next shot. I honestly think they can improve in maintaining the course in better shape. It's sad to play it in the 50th anniversary and seeing it in poor condition.

Owner wouldn’t let us play 9 holes because they close at 6:00 (it’s 2:30) we proceeded to ask if it was busy to see if that’s why they were worried about time, they then said “that’s the dumbest question of all time” and told us to leave.
