Greens, Greens, Greens

Always in good shape, and greens are well maintained. Fairways are pretty tight. The greens will eat your lunch though as they are very fast and every single one is severely sloped, two tiered, or have crazy mounds. If you are not below the pin forget it, especially when they decide to put the flag on the edge of the slope. Pretty interesting layout, but the greens are unfair. #10 is really a joke of a hole as well.

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.

Overbooked

30 min delayed tee time, due to the course overbooking themselves. Had to wait 5-10 each hole to tee off.

Greens in great shape.

Driving range is member only

Short but challenging course.

Lots of holes with water.

Overbooked

Had to wait 30 min after scheduled tee time before we could tee off. Worst case of a course overbooking that I’ve seen. Had to wait 5-10 min on each hole to tee off after that.

Greens were in really good shape.

Short course, but challenging.

Lots of holes with water.

Member only driving range.

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!!
