Greens 9 True & soft, speed moderate to slightly slow

19th Hole 9  Beverage cart showed up late (for leagues) - good selection and price. Went to Joey Garlics (3 mi/10 min south) for a good post round gathering
Miscellaneous   3 1/2 hr round in good weather was a bonus; Art donated (thank you) open pool dinner to Gregg in appreciation of effort to organize play who put winnings into dinner pool; Gary G gets a shout out for 'unwavering' support of Champion Golfer of The Year - Shane Lowrey.

Rough 6 Rough - Rough and soggy
Staff 8 Staff - Friendly
19th Hole 6 19th - We stayed for 1 and sandwich (basic and reasonable)
Miscellaneous - submitted by BomberBob
Overall Experience 7 Overall - WET (but mostly in the rough and the sides of the mountain) - How this course can keep so much standing water on the side of a hill is beyond the laws of physics??? - Cart Path Only again.  Played as a Fivesome with few golfers on course. Rough day for scoring though Art was about a foot away from an Ace on 14. Non-cert outing as online special was better$ so cert is still option to return.

Tees 6 Thin grass and bare spots
Fairways 6 Some unmowed areas due to wet ground
Bunkers 1 Worst I've ever seen - little sand, eroded grass/weeds

Staff 7 OK
19th Hole x Went to Wood 'n' Tap nearby - good brew & food
Miscellaneous 7 "When signing in Art asked how the course was and was told it was in 'good shape' (duh!).  now know what MDM management stands for - Messed Dem Mup - the courses that is...
Overall Experience 6 $20 fee/nearby/not busy makes this a reasonable 'back up' course when weather is marginal
