Nice course, super staff

I played this course for the first time and had an enjoyable round. The greens were in great shape, albeit quite slow. The fairways were generally very nice, but sometimes a bit bare in areas that should have been the rough. Tee boxes were worn, but playable. Sand traps were a bit of a mess, but some of that may have been due to quite a bit of heavy rain the few days prior to my round. Staff was SUPER friendly - among the best I've encountered. All-in-all, a good value for what I paid and I'd definitely go back there again.

Hidden Gem

Just a good old school layout....back nine is way harder than the front nine. Good conditions for the winter and very friendly people. Check it out.

Great service and fun course

Overall, a good time playing with my family during the holidays. Tee boxes need work but overall courses was pretty good condition. Would like to play it during the fall before all the leaves have fallen.

The River

Course overall was in good shape, couple greens that could use some attention. The tee boxs on certain holes are non exsistant.( 4 and 16 ) some others the ground is so hard you can't get a tee in the ground. Fairways were in great shape. The course has come along way from past play years ago. Tight fairways on some holes.

Nice little track

Nice course layout, many doglegs . Green is a little slow, it is actually looked very smooth, but needs roll and cut, then it would be so much better. For the price we will be back.
