These greens man

Just brutal pin positions on hard slopes. Very challenging but greens and pin positions seem gimmicky.

Very challenging course

I read reviews before playing about rude staff well they must not be there now they were all super friendly and accommodating. The course is not long but don’t let that fool you it is very tight in places and the greens which were receptive were the fastest I have ever played. If you have not played in a while do not come here it will eat you alive. This is a must play for any skilled golfer very fun course.

Worth a visit

I have never been a big fan of the layout but the turf conditions make up for a few poorly designed "quirky" holes.

Friendly staff.

Greatly enjoyed my experience!

Course was in beautiful condition! Even with a short down pour of rain the course was very playable afterwards! Looking forward to playing this course again in the future.

Tight course, fun

A nice outing but no scorecard w any information so very limiting. Also the tee boxes were in poor condition. Without regular tips and advice from those familiar w course, this would have been much less enjoyable. But nice tight layout requiring precision shots. Thanks

Love the 5 Par 3s

The best course in town that offers you a learning experience to be able to play also where. If you can par here, you can par anywhere.

Good value, but course could use some love

Overall had a good experience here. The layout was interesting. Be careful on #10–tough one to figure out if playing for the first time. The course needs a bit love. The tee boxes, in particular, were in rough shape. Fairways were a little bit better and the greens were in good shape. I recommend this course. This course could be a contender for one of the best courses in the area if they had more groundscrew to take care of the course a bit more.

Good Challenge

Great course for a challenge for the average player. Couple of difficult holes but evened out throughout the course to be fair. Do not play the tips if you’re not ready!!
