Fun little course, greens are non existent

Nice course from1888, the course is short and pretty open, but still fun to play with some high risk high reward shots.

Golf carts were new and staff with nice. Looks like the course has some maintenance issues and greens are barely playable so give yourself 2 putts on every holes.

Still a good value for the price, just don't keep the score too seriously.

Elks

Great course for beginners, and extremelyaffordable. . Staff are all friendly. Greens are rough on some holes, but theyre getting alot better the longer we play the course. Over all a great course for the value.

Greens are in poor shape

This is a great course for learning but you can’t putt on the greens at all, which is one of the most important aspects of the game. Learning to drive the ball or shape shots this is a good course.

Not bad for the money

Start with the good the carts are new and are very comfortable. The bad is, the on board computer has little to no info. No yardage, so it is basically useless. The front nine greens were horrible, it was like putting on a gravel lot. You can not beat the price. When we went it was like having the place to yourself. So it made it a very enjoyable day. The cart paths could use some maintenance. We have complaints but still enjoy the place. I wish they would make some improvements to make it better. It wouldn’t take much.

Fine for beginners

The course has a good layout and will be a great course once they figure out how to have greens.

Course conditions

The greens are pretty poor shape years ago it use to be a nice little course to play but I’m afraid the course just keeps going downhill each year it seems but it is pretty cheap to play 18 just wouldn’t rely on putting on the greens.
