It sucks because it's a decent layout and there aren't a pile of courses in the NE.

The soil isn’t great but it’s be manageable if their water wasn’t so terrible and the owners so cheap. They’re basically just stormwater runoff from the roads and airport so whatever is having trouble growing in the soil will be finished off With the salty water. There are ways of amending that as well but it would take money.
If anybody has had the displeasure of playing Redtail Landing in the past few years they’re basically dealing with the same thing. Crap water makes it impossible to recover from winter kill just by seeding but that’s all the crew is given the budget for. Carnmoney would be an example of a place that also has bad water and less than great soil but money was spent to help mitigate it.
