1/22 using Groupon $74 for a two-some with range balls voucher on a cold(no frost delay) 740 start that became quite pleasant by 830. Fairways are generally thin giving tight lies but acceptable overall–firm for roll but soft enough to take divots. Rough is sparse along fairways with some bare patches toward the extreme edges. Rough is a little more evident around the greens.

Tees level and ok. Green side bunker on 4 was full of deep rather heavy brown sand which felt quite playable. Bunker in front of 12 looked good but only had a thin layer of sand over hard pack.
Greens played much better than they looked–many appeared rather splotchy but rolled medium to medium fast especially as the day warmed and quite smoothly overall. Held approach and chip shots quite consistently. Some pin placements were really challenging most notably #7(par 3 with the center green bunker)–blue flag set dead center behind said bunker.

The layout is outstanding good variety of holes in a tranquil country setting. Truthfully the conditions are not as good as some times in the past but it is winter and it is evident the the course is being well maintained and attended to.

Check in was a breeze with a cheerful welcome and several friendly encounters with other staff members trough out the day.

the rating of 6 came out really low–is more like 6.8-7 in reality
