The course was completely soaked and underwater, but according to the guy in the proshop it was still "very playable." This course looks to be under some renovation that has taken a toll for the meantime, but may prove successful in a couple of months. One thing I did not like was there were no yardage markers, not even a 150 marker. I played the entire round simply judging the distance by eye, not exactly the most effective. Another con is the layout of the course. There were several times I wound up on the wrong tee box straining to see where I even need to align my tee shot.

The course seems to be undergoing some changes which should improve conditions. Greens were in great shape. Tee boxes were being overseeded, so they were a little hairy. Due to the rain, anything in off the fairway would tend to get quite muddy. Will be interesting to see the shap of course in 6-12 months.
