Bring Your Driver and several extra golf balls
It’s a beautiful course - just way too much carry required for the high handicap golfer. If that’s you there are probably better options for an enjoyable day of golf with a lot less frustration and less golf balls lost.
Amazing Course
This place was awesome. Staff was great and super friendly, and my girlfriend lost her driver head cover probably pretty early on in the day. I checked in at the clubhouse before we left and someone had turned it in! Awesome staff, awesome people and players out on the course.
We let a few players through because she's still learning and I'm a ~20 handicap, none of them had any issues waiting a second or being waved to let them play ahead of us.
Tee to Green Just Immaculate
The conditions were just tremendous. The greens were perfect- barely a ball mark the entire round. Lulls you to sleep the first few holes but when you get out towards the water a lot of forced carries or strategic layups. The only negative was the men’s rest room on 5 - one of the most vile smells you will ever encounter. Made the nyc subways in August smell like a rose garden. The course though - beautiful.
Great Saturday round!
My friend and I played this course for the first time and loved the round! Nice layout, there are some blind holes that are difficult for those without local knowledge but still very interesting. The greens are Bermuda and were a touch on the hairy side by the afternoon and reading them was harder but not bad. Otherwise this course is a must play! The location, the staff, and the setting were amazing. Please check this course out!
Hidden Gem
by the name of it we thought its a links style golf course, it is not. We were not confident when there were only 5 reviews and everyone rated 5 stars. As we were getting ready to play a senior player was suggesting to have more golf balls for the round. We were very sceptical before we started the round however it was a pleasant surprise for us with the beatuful tree line community drive up to the club house from main entrance.Well maintained course from Tee box to fairways and Greens. first cut rough is thick and made the play more fun if we miss the fairways. Every hole design was so unique and challanging. it is indeed a hidden gem and i would recommend golf enthusiast to play this course if you are around without fail.
Rained at the course
Course was open for business, but it was raining so my friends and I decided not to go ,I contacted golf now and they were being difficult about a credit because the reservation was hot deal , which the saving Was only tne dollar from regular greens fees , since golf now was not helpful , I contacted the head pro at the golf course and he is working with me on possible resolution.
Course evaluation based on previous visit.
Great Water Holes
Course exceeded expectations! I was shocked at how quick our round was for a weekend tee time. The layout and conditions were quite good with both 9s having water holes on the sound.
Course is worth the effort to play.
Fun
I actually played here not too long after it opened in the early to mid 90s. The course was in great shape, fun and challenging but not impossible and my Dad and I had the course basically to ourselves. The amenities and staff were great and now 3 decades later they are even better. In a twist of fate I lost my arm and can't play anymore and I am living basically across the street from the facility and it reminds me of a time in my life where the world was mine to go out and grab. Thanks guys for the experience and memories.
Great Course!
It's kinda off the beaten path,but that's a good thing....well worth the trip( for us about a little over an hour), part of a birthday outing .Some of the best rolling Bermuda greens I've played this year, great layout,loved back nine,not that front was bad,just liked back better. Staff was great, very friendly, made us feel welcomed, will definitely be back soon.
