Great experience!

Its a pitch and putt so that should tell you quite a bit.course in decent shape. This course makes your round ALL ABOUT FUN! Relaxed rules and yet they arent abused. Beer/drinks selection OUTSTANDING and nice area to hang/have beers afterward. Play this course often as its local/easy to get on. Cant say enough about the staff here as well👏👏👏

Horrible greens

The greens are terrible and some of the approach shots hit in front of the grain and they just stop cuz it's either full water or thick and they're working on the t boxes but there are also were horrible and needs a lot of work.

Staff is outstanding….

Its a pitch and putt for those that havent played it. Staff is EXCELLENT,beer options and driving range are great as well. Greens a little rough this time(aerated) but a good value. Lots of outdoor seating for post-round. Great course for newbies and short hitters. And any course whose rules state “Bad golf tolerated…bad attitudes aren’t! Dont be a dick” has my vote 👍

Grumpygolfer

Much improved course conditions from last time I was here. Extensive work on draining in heavy rains seems to have paid off. Condition of tees and fringes of greens still very poor and annoyingly so. Staff very friendly and overall the experience can be ok if you’re not a serious golfer.

Great course for the buck

Course was in great condition, except the greens they were pretty beat up. When putting the ball would bounce all around making it difficult to get a good line. Fairways were in great condition, course lay out was nice. Great price for the course, would again.

Was pretty busy when I played however the pace was quick and not a long wait at each tee block.

Small but mighty

Course has improved with new ownership. Great amenities for families like a jump house and a stage for music near snack shop and driving range. Good course for beginners to learn or someone who wants to play in under 2 hours in the middle of the day.

They have to redo all the greens they're not in great condition

If they redo the greens it will be a much better course
