Nice course

Fall golf at this course is challenging. The greens were in great condition. The tee boxes needed some TLC but over all couese is in good shap for the end of the season. Some holes had beautiful views. Will be back here again

Improving

Happy to see the course is getting better. Greens in good shape but on the slow side. Some tee boxes need work but most ok. The short but tight layout still offers a good challenge. Don’t get hung up over the 13 miles of cart path, just enjoy the scenery and uniqueness of this course

getting cold and leafy

very early tee time out of necessity.

very wet and difficult until sun came out.

there were lots of leaves on course but it is that time of year.

about halfway through the round the grounds crew came out and started working , including the blowers for leaves.

overall we did enjoy the course .

Challenging layout. Scenic holes

Overall fantastic course. A lot of elevated tee boxes and small greens. Makes for a great and challenging course. You can definitely tell the course needs some TLC as some tee boxes and fairways need a bit of love. The course is in the works of getting liquor license so there’s no option for food or drinks, which is my only complaint. After the course has some time to recoup costs it has the potential to be one of the best courses in the tri state area in my opinion.

Definitely a must play in the area.

Same Problem All Year

We love this course. My favorite in the area.

It is very challenging, and a lot of fun.

But they have had the same issue all year: the Tee Areas are in terrible shape. What isn't crab grass is so roughly chewed up we had to continually tee up beyond the markers. Can't blame the end of the season, this has been this way all year.

The second problem is not their fault... it is the ridiculous amout of unrepared fairway divots and ball marks on the green. Shame on the players who are simply too lazy to fix their damage.

Otherwise' i highly recommend this course.

Poor course layout

Challenging course in good condition boy approximately 13 miles of cart path. Course has homes thru out and at times front golf cart on public streets to get to next hole. That was dangerous. Nice staff that mentioned new owner just purchased course and they are going thru transition.

Ccp

Everything was great. The only thing we had trouble with was the slow greens. They held well but had to really take a big swing to get ball to hole.

Interesting course!

First time playing this course. Very interesting layout and 13 miles of cart paths! The staff was friendly and the conditions were good. The greens were very slow, however. Somewhat tight fairways but not extreme. Very enjoyable round and would definitely play there again.

Over the river and thru the woods

Which came first the housing development or the golf course? This course is over 13 miles of cart path driving through housing developments. Staff wasn’t great. Mostly asleep but not rude. There was a lot of rain so we can’t criticize the course which was not in good shape. The grass was high everywhere including the greens. But the layout is not good. We ran into two or three groups who got lost trying to get to their next hole.

Needs help

Would not play again unless a shift in management of the course. Need new staff and to invest money in upkeep of the course: tee boxes overgrown with weeds in particular.
