| - yes, this place is still around! apparently the city will keep it in operation for another year, which is definitely good for me!
The good points:
1. availability - you can usually get a tee time here for either of their courses
2. variety - 9 hole course, 18 hole course, driving range, putting green
3. they don't put groups too close together like other courses (cough...shaganappi..cough)
4. it's a relatively challenging 18 hole course, with several places for your ball to go swimming.
5. it's a pretty long course, which in general, is good exercise if you are walking - ballpark 20k steps (thanks fitbit!)
6. the 9 hole course is great for practising your short game / bringing new golfers / kids
the reasons it lost a star:
1. unreliable groundskeeping - several holes (on 18) continue to be in disrepair (over the last year!), which is a shame when you pay $50+ per round
2. unreliable beverage cart, they skipped us the last time we played and in general you don't see them on the course (if you are lucky, maybe 1x per 18 holes!)
3. you are close to the airport (ie. it can be loud) / you won't hit a plane, don't worry
regardless, I love the challenge and the exercise and will keep going back!
