Was Kust Fine

It's a short, easy course, but good enough shape for $42 on the weekend. Only real complaint is lots of ball marks on the greens, but when you have lots of old guys playing, it happens.

Disappointed

Course in terrible condition. The only thing that saved the round were the two guys we were paired with.

Great shorter course, Greens much better than in Spring.

Played here many times over the years, last time was early spring and greens were terrible. Pleased to see that greens are now in great shape. Highly recommended!!

Weekend review

The starter/ marshal should try to police the pace of play better. A group of very slow walkers were in front of us all day and refused to let us play in front of them. They each were playing multiple balls per hole, not letting groups play through and we’re walking on a Sunday when the course was completely booked. It makes for a very long and frustrating round.

Good value

Good value and well kept. Cart paths could use updating but that doesn’t bother me. Short course, don’t need your driver much, but lots of fun

Bad Clientele

The round was fine till the back nine when 2 middle schoolers joined behind us. They drove carts on the greens, hit onto your green as you putted, and threw your ball into the woods when they played through. I was appalled kids so young and immature could play by themselves.

Murph Experience

A fun course. Front nine, stockholders 9 and 1st 4 holes of back nine are golfer friendly..When you crose road to last 5 holes on back nine the holes are generally overgrown and sometimes punish some fairly good shots .Example: On 17 if your tee shot doesn't land within 15 yards either way of center you will either go left out of bounds or right into the woods???
