Tight course

Fairways in good shape but narrow. Roughs were long and dense. Fairways generally lined both sides by trees. Sand traps hard packed. Greens in good shape, held the approach shot, putted true, were medium to slow speed. All greens have comeback in the last three months, with one green needing a little more time to completely regain all its grass.

Great value!

I thought this was a very good layout and the people inside were really friendly. We loved the restaurant after the round as well.

Fun course

Fun course in good condition... the greens are the slowest I've ever played, though. Took awhile to adjust. All in all, worth it. I'll be back

Good morning open course

We played in the morning. A few old balls tried to push us on the back 9 who were really disrespectful. A few blind holes. Course was good and pace of play good. 2 greens under maintenance with stakes including a par 4 and 3; those greens were in very poor condition.

Good bang for the buck!

Course fairways and tee boxes and 80% of the greens are in good shape. They keep the greens slow so you have to really adjust, as they almost lost a couple greens that are still in tough shape. Challenging course, but fair except two tough holes. A couple tee boxes slant downhill too much, so have extra long tees to compensate. Like the course overall....

Me and my father in law really enjoyed playing here. I will definitely be going back again! It was nice that it wasn't packed so we could take our time and not rush.
