Friday Afternoon

First time playing here since they opened to the public. The course was in great shape, even with a few of the greens being recently plugged and sanded. Booked through GolfNow and had zero issues. The guy running the pro shop, Will, was awesome and explained everything perfectly. Rained out before playing the back 9, but will definitely be back to play. Thanks!

Course bad shape

Course was in bad shape. Sand traps were hard as a rock. Tall weeds all over the place in fairways and all around the greens. They were in the process of putting sand on the greens and they were not in good shape. Not worth the money I spent for 4 people golfing.

Great track.

Was able to get a GolfNow hot deal. Great value. Course was in fantastic condition. Greens rolled perfectly. Staff was friendly. Cart I got was super fast, I won’t say which number so they don’t get rid of it, but I was able to play 18 in just 2hrs. Highly recommend course.

Good course

Course was in great shape. Bunkers were a bit rough, but not unplayable. Only issue was that the staff wasn’t briefed on GolfNow rates.

Great Experience

I last played this course many years ago, what a difference, really enjoyed it. Called asking for a non member tee time and gentleman was super nice, upon arrival very pleasant greeting. There were two members walking ahead of me who kindly offered to let me play through on #3. The course itself is a great layout, although due to loads of rain was a bit wet and cart path only which was fine. I like to play in afternoon because heat keeps most people away which was the case and it was fantastic 2.5 hrs for 18. The greens are smaller than I am used to, so bring a good iron game but fairways offer plenty of width to let er rip. The holes are quite interesting and suited my eye very well. Overall a very nice experience and will definitely be back.

Great Experience

So I played this course many years ago after a call from pro at my club, at that point in time the course wasn't in good shape so I never thought to return, but after years i though why not give it another shot, so glad I did.. Yesterday I called after seeing on their website they allow limited outside play and was very politely offered a tee tim. Upon arrival the gentleman at pro shop was very nice and off i went. There were tow walkers (members) in front of me who very nicely offered to allow me through on #3 which I did, although made a mess of hole as I was trying to rush and get out of the way. I really like the course and the way it sets up except that the greens are a bit small. the course was wet after heavy rains so cart path only but the course still played well. Playing in the afternoon and 90 degree temps I never say anyone else after #3 which I really like since I play quick 2.5 hrs. A few fairways have weeds etc, but could just be because of tons of rain, but overall the course is really a good layout and thoroughly enjoyable, I will be back, thanks.

Good course but not so good condition

Fairways full of crab grass. Green had been punched a week prior.

Not good shape

For a "private" golf course it's in bad shape. Weeds are over taking the fairways and around the greens. I've not played course in many years, and I was shocked how it looked... Not good! It does have a nice layout!

Bad tee time booking

I had a 12:30 tee time and when I went to the first hole there were about 12-16 golfers waiting to tee off. While I waited on the chipping range about 8 more golfers came around from where they started there round on the back nine. I had to wait almost an hour before I could tee off. All of these golfers played at a good pace because I did not have to wait on them after I got started. Someone doing the booking screwed up with all this many golfers teeing off at the same time. Other than having to wait the 1st hour, play went well.
