Very good greens

Maybe they overbook. But can get really slow at times. Not a fan of #2 green and hole #10. But good course and value if can get it on hot deal tee time. Just be prepared to play slow.

Nice course - lots of sloped greens

Overall this is a nice course with a number of water holes and doglegs to challenge your game. There were a couple of holes where I felt the homes along the course was a bit too close to the fairways for my liking which was a bit intimidating if your swing is a bit unpredictable with a hook or a slice. So I held back a bit on those holes. Also there are no easy putts on the greens! They are very slick and have a good amount of slope what seemed like every hole.

Also a big thumbs up to Chuck who runs the cart area. He introduced himself and gave me a number of pointers about the course and made me feel most welcome!

Great Shape

Played for $40 after 1pm on the weekend. The course is in great shape. It’s a little tight and has some tough greens but that doesn’t determine this review. 8/10 and one of the best public courses around by far.

Had a good experience playing at the course. The greens were extremely fast, so if you found yourself above the hole you were in trouble. If you knew the layout you could play to be below the hole. Other than that I had a good time and will play this course again.

Not great, not horrible.

Greens were probably 13 on the stint meter. Some of the greens felt like you were on a putt-putt course with 3 different levels. Sometimes there was no way to stop the ball from going off the green on a 10' putt downhill. Layout is kind of sporadic, especially on the back, but it was an OK course. Glad I played it.

Must get a ton of play because greens were full of pitch marks. Most were un-repaired.

Tee boxes need some work.

Compared to other courses I play in the area, it was in average shape.
