Great course!

This was my first time playing here since they changed names but it was great. Staff was really nice and helpful. Fairways were in great condition! The greens were a little dry but not bad at all.

Fairways & Greens Ideal

Not only was the weather beautiful, the course was in virtually the best condition I've found this year. The price to play was just as good as any Groupon for any course within 100 miles. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Nice course upgrades

Been coming here over 2 years now. The course has improved tremendously over the last 6 months with change of management; parking lot has been paved and spots marked; fairways and greens are 85% better. Great value for 18 rounds of play!

Great golf

Great course layout in a country side setting. Greens roll true. Fairways a little dry but very playable. Bunkers are being renovated. Overall pace of play is great. One drawback is no driving range. But ideas to make it happen are being discussed. Staff is courteous and friendly. Go play a round. It’s worth it

Course fairways and greens are in great shape, some greens have bald areas but not significant, some fairways/greens roughs are overgrown and nit consistent. I'll give 3.5 stars
