Affordable golf

Course was wet (cart path only). But in great condition. Fairways some wide some narrow. Some water made things interesting. Greens fast and true. Price was great. I’ll be back.

Great course. Greens were quick but true. Mixture of wide and narrow fairways. Enough water to make it challenging. Played with two members very friendly. Cart path only made it rough. (3 months after knee replacement) but it was damp. I will come back again

The Course Is In Great Shape

Everyone was friendly, including the gentleman in the pro shop and two of the grounds crew that I chatted with while waiting to tee off on the next hole. The course is always in great shape and no one can beat the price for 18 holes and including a cart. Once you play it you'll want to visit/play it again.

Fun course

Course was in really good shape. Greens very fast. Pro shop guy was kind of obnoxious. We had reserved four players but only three of us could make it and he kept harping on the fact that we booked four but only three showed up. The course was almost empty except for us. Rain was forecast so I guess people stayed away but that didn’t prevent the pro shop guy from really busting our chops about only having three players. In no hurry to play there again because of him.

Great course

Pace was slow but not course’s fault. I had to wait at every tee box from the second hole on. Guess there was a fivesome in front of two twosomes. No marshal to complain to. Still finished round in 3.5 hours.
