This is a decent track

This course is enjoyable. It does get a little crowded when tees and greens collide nearing the 7th green, but overall, this is a great short course. If you're like me and don't use a drive, opting for a 2 Iron instead, you'll be quite comfortable here. From the tips you're just over 6000 yards and I'm quite often left with just simple wedge shots into the greens, especially if you're playing smart or safe.

The course is in good shape, greens are good. 9th hole is a fun one when they have the pin up front.

It's quiet, best played early in the day or during the week. A fun course that I'll be continuing to visit.

Fairways are nice

Played on a Monday with a friend and thought we got a great deal. Was the first time we've seen this course.. Fairways are nice, have a few driveable par 4's, but greens are still growing back in and sandy. Layout is good for a high HC player to score easily. Shot +2 on first trip, ready to go back and see how far under I can get it.. Local players can compare this course with RGA but with better fairways..

Short, But Fun Track

First time playing this course. Place was in fantastic shape. Guy inside was extremely friendly and was kind enough to help out a buddy of mine who was running late. It's a short track for long hitters (~6100) and the layout is relatively easy. Only complaint addresses the greens. I know it's hot out and you can't cut them too short, but when they're rolling around 8, and that's being generous, it's not any fun having to slam every putt. At least roll them or something.

Regardless, looking forward to playing this track again in the coming months as temperatures cool and the course can speed up the greens into the 9.5-10.5 range.

Good value

I only played the front 9 but expect conditions were consistent across the back. The greens were recently repaired so they were a bit rough that day. I expect they will be in better shape in a few weeks once they are grown in. I have played here in the past when they were in reasonable shape. The fairways had decent coverage however off the fairway it was hit or miss. The starter was very friendly which is an improvement from my visit last spring. Some more advanced golfers may not find it very challenging however for the money I will certainly play here again.

I will wait a while until the gree are better.

I have enjoyed playing this course in the past but this year the greens are "brutally" bad. I had to stop playing before I finish my round due to green's conditions.

My low course condition rating was only due to the recent weather that the area had experienced. Some of the greens were in poor shape, but once the weather warms up the course will be great. I would definitely play this course again. It was beautiful.

Not on a weekend

A close to 5 hour round a golf is brutal no matter where you play. The one other timed I played it was during the week. on that occasion waiting was minimal. I would give up golf if I had to play here on a Saturday.

Could have been better

The weather was good especially for this time of the year so the course was quite busy. That said, the rangers were confused & unable to keep up with the field. The greens were poorly groomed & very,very slow. With a 12:32 tee time I was unable to complete the round before having to go. It was 3:02 just getting around the front nine.
