Has it all

This is a fun and challenging course. It requires all types of shots. The course and greens were in great shape for so early in the season. Will definitely play again.

Last day of February. I will be back to see just how nice this course is early summer. Enjoyed it. First nice day this year and was good 20 minutes late teeing off and went slow from there. Hope to get out there on weekday.

WOW Terrible shape !!!!

So, I didn't book the course through Golf Now, which it didn't of matter, course was in terrible shape, greens were dead, fairways were dead as well, some of them you couldn't even drive on.

Do better... $71 was a rip off for how the course was, even with the free-range balls , adjust accordingly .

Play it but won't be back .

Tough track

Fun layout. Some fairways large bar spots. Greens fast and true.Free warmup range. Your GPS will get confused as hole numbers have changed.

Rough shape

Purse is in rough shape. Greens have dirt on them where grass has died. Fairways also need water. Overpriced for the conditions of the course.

Love this course

I love this golf course. Slope and design of the course is one of, if not, my favorite of the surrounding counties. With them going private, I truly hope it doesn’t ruin the course and sincerely wish them well… I’ll certainly miss playing here.

Greens were fast for this time of the year (oddly, I still don’t think they’ve punched them), some frustrating tee boxes but those will be sorted out soon as they’ve already started aeration process on some of them, great carts, looove the course layout and slope difficulty. Little pricey by the standard greens cost, but I scored with a pretty sweet hot deal.

All great except for the pace.

Second time playing course this week. Still in great condition however the pace was extremely slow. First time experiencing this at Boones Trace. Hopefully it was a one off.
