Love it

Played here since early 90s. Always a fun track, one of my favorites. I can see lots of work to make it better. Wish people would fix their ball marks.

Great Course

Course was great, staff was friendly. The carts were limited so I ended up walking all 18 but it was a great day so I didn’t mind at all. The physical course was in great condition.

Bring a Lunch

I have always enjoyed the layout at this course. The conditions are definitely going in a positive direction. But the slow play and overcrowding at all the municipal courses has gotten out of hand. It seems like most of the novice players are part of the slow play. Also, we did not see one ranger to enforce pace of play. So be prepared and bring lunch because it’s always 4 1/2 to 5 hours.

Blind Shot Galore

I was just in town visiting and wanted to get out for a round. The best thing about this course was its proximity to my hotel. Unfortunately, the experience itself was underwhelming.

The pace of play on the front nine was painfully slow, though it did pick up on the back after the group ahead stopped for lunch. Course conditions left a lot to be desired: the greens were inconsistent and littered with divots, while the fairways were only in decent shape at best.

The layout was frustrating. From the tips, most flagsticks weren’t visible, making it nearly impossible to know where to aim without 18Birdies. There were at least eight blind tee shots, which felt more gimmicky than challenging.

On the positive side, the staff were friendly, and we got paired with two solid guys who helped keep things moving. I don’t regret giving it a try, but it’s not a course I’d go out of my way to play again.

Great course for the price

I play here often and it’s a great course. Not too hard and pretty wide open and pretty nice greens but a little slow. Very easy to shoot a low score and drivable par 4s.

What a drastic turn around for the good. It has been several years since I played here last. The greens were in really good shape (very slow) but in amazing shape. Cart paths are so much better. I still had my kidneys after the round. Would definitely recommend to go check this course out. Great value for what you get.

Golf Review

The course & snack bar staff are great! Course conditions are pretty good but need a Marshall on weekends.to help with pace of play. Most areas of the course are really good...however, the greens are pretty slow. The price for the course is OUTSTANDING! I highly recommend this course to all.

This course has great features

This course is pretty wide open, the back 9 is a little more challenging especially the 18th hole.

Needs to mow

A lot of rain recently but still, you would expect a full times grounds crew to be able to handle it. Lost a number of calls just because the rough grass was so long.
