    Played on Saturday, course was still wet and the greens are really slow and bumpy. Unless you're getting a deal on your round, I wouldn't pay full price for it.

    Such an overrated and overpriced course
    I like to call it a power fade

    Even with my ** membership discounted priceI would no go there again.

    Greens are not in good shape. Slow, bumpy, soggy, shaggy.

    it's too bad I thought they had turned the corner with the greens, guess they need more sun and less rain. Marshes is convenient & close to home for me , I find the layout a challenge and don't mind the discounted price I pay as I always ride wherever I play ( due to injury not because I am lazy ) so g.fee , cart , range for $50 to me is a good deal. I do find overall condition and service has gone downhill since the first time I played it 4 years back.

    Played last night. Course drying out a little but still some wet spots especially greenside areas. Greens a lot better than a month ago but still rough shape. Also crazy slow. I agree with Cleek, they need a month of hot weather with little rain and greens should be passable at least. Overall conditions have definitely slipped over last couple years. Fairways also not as tightly mowed as they once were, and lots of goose droppings in several areas.

    It's the middle of July and so far we've had plenty of rain. This is unacceptable for a course like that.

    Even if the greens were completely lost they have had over 8 weeks now to get them back, I just don't understand what's going on. I miss this course!

    It looks like they have been keeping the greens soaked to try and get the grass to grow. On Tuesday even though it had been a while since we had a heavy rain every ball that landed on the green made a huge crater.

    The greens must be at least reasonable at this point...

    I drove by the other day and it still looked a bit crap. I can't tell you exactly how they are though...

    Jordan, I played it about 2 weeks ago and they where fair. Its not worth 115.00 plus but what course is. A lot of the greens where coming back to life. Mind you its not perfect. Better than a few other courses out there. I enjoyed my round and putted well for a change,so no problem. With your discount golf membership,its worth it.

    Marcos is correct I was also there a couple weeks back and the greens were fair to good a little bumpy in some places but it was fine. Damn that #2 hole

    Played it on the weekend. Greens are coming back nicely, and are almost back to 100%. Only greens that are still a bit bumpy are 4 and 14. Kudos to the greenskeepers for bringing back to life a complete disaster that was the first few months of the season.
