Hitting Blind

This course has many blind tee shots. The tee shots are also very close to where other golfers are approaching. If I always hit where I aimed, and everyone else did too, there would be no concerns. This is not the case, causing worry when I play to escape worry. The hills also create too many shots not hit off flat surfaces even when you hit where aiming.

Great time!

The course is in great condition I just wish there was a place to get a hotdog and the beer on the ninth hole.

Good Course For The Money

Overall course was good. Layout is a little different and hard to figure out. Course was in decent shape, but greens still have a lot of sand on them. Pace of play was a little slow as a 4some in front of me took a while.

Avoid Avoid Avoid

Layout, conditions and pace of play were all atrocious. You’re lucky to not get hit with someone’s errant golf shot with how close together and open the holes are. The layout makes no sense as #18 finishes way far away from the clubhouse. We will not be making the trip back.

Great Open Course with some challenges

This is a great course for beginners in the sense that it is very wide open and generally fairly forgiving. The challenge is that it is VERY hilly. Expect a challenge on the back 9. Overall great course. Some of the greens had a few spots in bad shape, but for the most part they were good, fast greens. There was no range, which was disappointing, but understandable as they really utilized all the space for the course. There’s still a small chip and putt green at the first hole. Pro shop was friendly. The food was extremely good at the turn and the staff friendly. Once again great course for the money. Enjoyed it a ton.

Hilly

This course has more ravines, hills, slanted greens and more blind shots than any course I have played in 59 years - including courses on ski slopes and WVa. Saying that it was quite a challenge and thankfully played with a member. If the greens hadn't been aerated I would have given the course a higher rating. Will come back in a month and rate again.

Aeration

Aeration is something that should be put on the Tee Off app. I’ve never seen so much sand on greens. There were a couple that you couldn’t see grass and left footprints in the sand. I made the comment to the rest the foursome “kinda makes me want to take my shoes and socks off”

Nice experience

Staff was extremely friendly. Was visiting from the low country so nice to have some hills to navigate. Course was in decent condition considering the green were just aerated and sanded. Some really tight holes with lots of blind shots. Would definitely play again next time I’m in town

Beginner friendly. Challenging Downhills and Up

I like this course because I’m used to flat - water everywhere types in Florida. It was nice coming here to minimal water hazards, course elevation (hitting down to a par 3, or up and over a blind hill every once and a while). Some holes were easy, others posed a nice challenge.

The greens rolled very nicely with minimal effort, and overall it was a great time.

Lastly, the course was close enough for me to escape the morning crying of a new born baby, and for that I will forever be grateful.
