Good Hot Deal

It was my first time playing this course. The fairways and greens are a little beat and not mowed regularly but the variety of hole layouts helps offset that. Would only play for a hot deal price though (around $20)

A course not to miss.

Mike and Steve and their crew have done a tremendous job in a very short time of bringing back life to a course that had not been properly maintained for years. Even with the drought conditions that we have been experiencing for the last three weeks, the fairways and greens are in very good condition.

The year of Covid

With the limitations placed upon all of us this year, the course is in very good shape. The staff is friendly, the carts are clean. The clubhouse and inside restrooms are closed. They do provide port-o-potties. They do have pool noodles on the flag poles, not just in the coup, but also up about 12". They do have beer and other beverages available. We did not check on food.

Never again!!

I can cross this course of my play list. Absolutely dreadful conditions. They obviously care more about making money than spending money. Should never have allowed carts out in such wet conditions. Or at least required cart path only. Even though those were so bad you could very well have hurt your back driving on them. Couldn't differentiate between fairways and rough. Except the rough is were the dandelions and wild flowers were. I could go on but you probably get the point. GolfNow should have a way to mark courses you don't ever want to play again so I don't make the mistake of booking here again.

I liked the course. Out of my price range for a 45 minute ride. Deceivingly difficult. I love the layout of the course.

Shot placement important

Hitting your shots to landing areas. First time playing course a little challenging. Being fairly accurate is important. Probably will play there again if I get a chance. Staff was very friendly. Most greens were on smaller size, but in very nice shape.

Course in very good shape

Considering the weather we have been having since May, this course is in very good shape! Hit them straight, there are a lot of trees but it makes for very nice looking holes, old school! Great round of golf and the owners and staff are very friendly!

Where’s the fairway?

This layout has potential to be fun target golf course where you hit every club in the bag. Problem was there are a few holes where there’s literally nowhere to hit it. Fairways were shaggy in some spots but burnt out in others. Greens rolled nice but again are so small there’s just nowhere to aim. Staff was very pleasant and pace was great for a Sunday.
