Great Golf Course

This course is always in great condition. The people that work there are so friendly. There are 3 nine hole courses that average 2500 yards from the red so it really keeps things moving. My only wish is for them to put another tee box for senior women to shorten up the par 5’s just a little to give us a chance to make a par or get a birdie! Great course to check out even if there isn’t a hot deal. Will make this my go to course!

Needs some TLC and mowing.

North Course rough was very long and weedy.

Looks like it was in-between mowing days.

Center Course was in better condition, again rough was longer than normal.

Green were well maintained on both. Sand was very olayable.

First Time Playing

Beautiful course

First time ever playing this course ended up playing on center. Absolutely stunning course and well kept. The staff was super friendly when I arrived and even when I was leaving. Definitely would recommend this course considering there are multiple courses. You can go on so it can be different the next time you play. I just loved everything about it here and will definitely be returning very soon.

Garbage Service and Course

Front desk lady (if that’s what you want to call her) was absolutely garbage. I asked for a rain check because I only played 9 holes. It was 60 degrees and it turned into 35 degrees. She argued with me about playing more. She is a garbage human being and I will never return to play here. I used to play here 10-15 times a year with multiple associates. She is garbage!! Just like the course!! Stay classy Beecher

Good course

Course was in great shape, some greens were slightly damaged, or should I say: some bare spots on green. But overall, was good golfing there.
