Fun little course.

The greens were in pretty good shape. Holes are pretty short but fairways are fairly skinny and rough is pretty thick. The cart path is all gravel which is kinda of rough ride the whole day. Overall a pleasant experience

Funky Track

This is a short track with some of the weirdest holes you will ever see. The greens had been recently punched so they were a little slow and bumpy however, this course is well with playing and lots of fun.

Funky little track

This is a funky little track but well worth playing. Some of the weirdest holes I’ve ever seen in golf. The greens were still a little bumpy from being punched but besides that it’s a fun track. I’d love to play it again with faster greens.

Nice Local Course

A nice local course to keep your skills in tune. Friendly atmosphere. I wish there was a place to warm up but I understand in this region real estate is a premium.

Wished I played in early in the summer.

The greens had been aerated 10-14 days earlier and where no where near being grown back.. Very bumpy .Fairways were rock hard and spotty. I bet they were nice earlier in the summer when they were more lush.

Demanding Athletic and Accuracy

This is a demanding layout for the average golfer. Accurate tee shots are required. You must be in good physical shape to play this course.

Too much for course!

Course it self is fine, a lot of blind spots. The Green’s have been worked up and very rough to put. I believe a course should discount or inform players when this has been done.

Maybe recommend later

Arrived early and the staff got us out right away. The greens have just been punched. Big punch too. The front played about average time. The back we caught up with a group of 5 and a group of 6. Came to a dead stop.

This would be a fun layout if they had better grooming. First time is a bit confusing where to hit you’re ball because of blind hills.

Terrible Layout

The course isn’t worth the money and the layout is awful. Power piles in the middle of a fairway. Huge drop offs from the tee boxes, hard to tell where the greens are. It should cost $25 for a round.

Good $25 golf course (don’t pay more than that)

Ever play a golf course where you are convinced someone has cut the maintenance budget? This is that course...the greens were all in good shape, but the rest of the course was missing fertilizer and weed killer. The gateways appeared to be mowed in half only....cutting the budget so that fare ways are mowed one half at a time. Whoever owns this course should divest themselves and sell to someone who will spend the money to care for it.

Super Fun. Perfect greens.

The clubhouse worker allowed my 3 threesome to go off about an hour early to beat the rain. That was a awesome way to get a great first impression. We knew going in the course would be a shorter layout but had no idea how fun it was to play. Greens were perfect bent grass but super slow from the 3 consecutive rainy night. If your expected a US Open type challenging course this isn’t for you. If your looking for a fun set up, with quick pace and good conditions. This is your place. Some of the navigation between hole was tricky and we even played the wrong hole once. Tees and greens are tight. We will be back soon.
