Cheap.

It’s a decent course. I’m not a great golfer at all but the course is extremely short. Every par 4 is basically reachable if you have a solid driver game. I don’t think I hit an iron above a 9 all day not counting the par 3s par, Greens are very small. And aren’t in the best shape. But it was also 24 bucks so what all can you ask for. Nice to get reps in but wouldn’t play here regularly

First time playing here and enjoyed the course. A little dry in the fairways, but that worked to my benefit for distance with rollout. Greens were in great condition! Staff is super friendly and other golfers were very courteous. Pace of play was consistent with no waiting. We will definitely be back!!

Great course for the price!

Greens were well maintained, fairways and T boxes where as expected. Well maintained for the price and the pace of play was great. Could use some sand bunkers to add a bit f challenge, but will definitely play here again!

Friendly and a good value for the money

It’s an affordable public course- friendly people and reasonable grass & terrain.

I had a great day with my family. We are novice golfers but enjoyed the day and loved that we could take our own cooler!

more staff on weekends to enforce golf standards

the SIX, that's right the six golfers in front of us holding up play or the foursome behind up that hit into us multiple time. how about some of the golfers that just jumped in and played wherever. look this isn't a country club I get it. but someone has to enforce some standard of play. it took over 5 hours to play 18. If we weren't playing best ball just to speed up our round we might still be out on the course.
