Good conditions

Greens- super

Fairways- lush

Tee boxes- well

Pace of play, ouch!

Overall this was a great track to play, felt like the tale of two 9’s… front was straight with minimal danger. Back 9 was up and down, blind shots, shot making angles and played harder….

Great track, brutal greens

Played it for the first time on Sunday. Only downside to the layout is there are several holes that feel kind of dumb just some shots that don’t really require much more than a five iron to a pitching wedge to the green.

Can’t ask for more interesting challenging greens though. They were in pretty good shape, recovering from being punched, but I’m not gonna hold that against them. They rolled true. They were fast. They had a ton of topography.

Fairway was in pretty good shape. The rough was very rough with all the rain we’ve had. It was very punishing… Just don’t go there right?

Only downside was the pace of play, but it was a Sunday afternoon… So again not going to really hold it against them.

Great course and value

Course was the best value for 18 I have found in the area. I paid $35 for 18 when I played. The course was beautiful and well kept. The bar and clubhouse are spectacular and the food was really good.

Course is well maintained

Fairways and roughs in good condition. Sand traps best in the area. Greens were recovering from aeration but rolled true, moderate speed, held the approach shot fairly well. Always a pleasure playing this course because it is well maintained.

Poor greens

Greens had been aerated and were awful. There were 1’ x 2’ divots- as many as a dozen on one green- cut into the greens. You have to cross a busy road to get to #1, something the pro shop didn’t bother to mention.

Pleasant Surprise

First time playing this course after playing a few others in the county.

This was a pleasant surprise. I had heard some of the typical things you hear negatively about a Country Club golf course, but I didn't experience ANY of the negative. The staff was nice and not pretentious. The course was very well taken care of. I didn't run into a single bad person on the course.

The course was challenging while also having a layout where it wasnt too difficult to find my ball. Pace of play was great. I will definitely be back and will hopefully shoot better next time.

Great Course/Staff

Tee time was 2pm, got there too early and was able to go right out. Staff member in pro shop was great. Course was in great shape, greens quick but not overwhelming. Over all very playable layout. Would play again for sure

Fun Fun Fun

A very Fun layout of a golf course. Be prepared for fast greens. There's plenty of blind tee shots (a big part of the Fun) and a few of blind layup/approach shots as well

Be sure to get your refreshments before the round because no cart girl was available when we played.
