Unfortunately mother nature has put a beat down on this course

Played here multiple times last year had a great time and it was in great condition, unfortunately the greens had severe fungus and the fairways were dry to the Bone. Good staff great golf carts but mother nature's put the smack down on this course

Pleasantly surprised.

Never heard of this course before. Only 45 mins from Ft. Wayne, thought I’d give it a shot. Not a long course but it has some doglegs, trees and water to make it interesting. Yes, the greens had some issues but it looks like the staff is addressing this. I’m giving it 4 Stars. Really enjoyed playing here.

Nicely laid out/several long holes

The staff was friendly minus when I dropped my hotdog on the ground while having to self serve and was not offered another dog or discount on my floor dog that broke in half. The tee boxes and fairways were in good condition while some of the greens were definitely spotty with big patches of grass worn away. Other than that the course was nice with some long holes which it made it fun to let some drives rip. For the price and everything else I will definitely be golfing here again.

Great value, good layout.

For the price, you have to love this place. It’s a bit of a hidden gem.. My only complaint is the bunkers are not adequately maintained… so if you hit it in one - as hard as a rock. But the greens, fairways and tea boxes are a wonderful condition. Staff is also super friendly.

Great value for the money

This is my home course and it’s a solid one. Greens and fairways are in good shape and the computers on the carts are a huge plus as most of the time I don’t even pull out my rangefinder. My only complaints would be that there are a lot of dog legs with the course design and the sand in the bunkers is pretty hard. Overall a great course that I would highly recommend for the price!
