Honestly, what the heck?
Wow, this was my second time playing this course because I felt like I needed to give it a second chance. The first time was horrible. They force everyone into 4s which destroys the pace of play. I waited a minimum of 15 minutes per shot. If you’re like me and hate slow golf, don’t play here. So the second time I played I showed up to no one being at the club house. Everyone was waiting outside, one person found keys in the a cart and took off, other decided to walk. A lady who works there (but was actually off and had a tee time to play) arrived and started working. I paid in full for 18 but only played 9 because of how awful the pace of play was. It was extremely discombobulated. The course is actually nice and pretty well taken care of. The employees just ruin the experience with forced 4sums and awful play pace.
Always a fun course
Played numerous times here. Is always a fun course and great layout. The tee boxes could be cut a bit shorter… almost felt like I was teeing off in my backyard grass. Overall though course was great!
The Woods
Great course with a lot of up hill down hill and some blind shots. There have been some improvements made over the last couple of years. Worth the time to check it out.
Don’t recommend
Fairways were in poor conditions. Greens on front needed to be cut and divots repaired. Greens in back were cut way short but fairways were even in rougher condition than front. And I’m not a fan of gas carts and cart paths were not maintained at all Staff very nice
Played here many times
Through the years and I don't get tired of it. The rolling layout and hole shapes ensure no two holes play the same. Severe slopes on the first four greens test your pace control as do several other greens. Conditions were pretty good considering the recent heat wave although a few greens were showing signs of stress, but still very playable. For golf in this area this is a good value.
Good course great value
Course was in good shape some rough areas due to recent heavy flooding rains but completely playable. Staff was friendly and helpful
