Ok
This is a short but challenging course, due to undulating fairways and fast & steep greens. The greens are well kept, but dry, teeboxes are hard and could use work, but acceptable, there is not much difference between fairway and rough. Over a fun, challenging, short course.
Cost
I had made a tee time for 2 people then made another te time for 3 people and could not cancel the first tee time so I got charged twice.
Tired course in need of major maintenance
First the positives: the round was very inexpensive at $24 with cart. There were 3-4 holes that were somewhat unique and challenging. That said, the course was in terrible condition with major erosion issues and bare spots on nearly every hole. Greens were in fair shape and tightly mown. Evidently the course is not irrigated and the recent dry weather was telling with burned out fairways too bare to hold a well struck tee shot. Chipping to the many elevated greens was difficult from the bare lies around the greens. Parallel fairways with golfers out of position interrupted play for everyone and the tight layout and numerous short holes indicative of a course shoehorned into too few acres. Maintenance men were in play on numerous holes with little accommodation for the golfers.
Back Nine
Played the back nine after work. I enjoy this course because of its size. You spend less time in the court and more time golfing. Very easy to get a quick nine in. I will say the front nine is a bit more nice, more open. Back nine is a little more compact, tighter fairways. Overall I really enjoy this course and will be back soon.
Unique Course
Good mix of straight forward and doglegs. Staff was very friendly and professional. Some regulars hit into others but?
We 2somesome walked and still held no one up any longer than the group ahead of us.
The fairways were a bit rough BUT the greens were very good. We would play here again. Thank you...
Rude employee
Was playing with 3 of my buddies. Two people tied, so we thought we would play hole 10 one more time for bragging rights. Mike ran us down and was rude and told us get off the course. I am fine with him telling us to get off the course but he was very rude about it. This is not the first time we’ve had issues with Mike, he’s usually rude and is never polite. We were fine not playing 10 (even though nobody was hopping in 10 to play- we weren’t skipping anybody) but it was how he spoke to us and how rude he was. We have played here before but we will not be coming back.
