Great bang for the buck

The course has great staff that are willing to help with anything. My girlfriend and I wanted to just play as a twosome and so they helped us out and fit us in to play easily without jamming everything up. The only downside of the course was that the tee boxes were really hard. You just about needed a masonry nail and hammer to get your tee in. But that was because it was the middle of a drought so there wasn’t a lot of water to soften up the ground. Overall it was a great course and is a go to for me.

Challenging with higher potential

Course has a challenging layout, especially on the back 9. Tee boxes were in bad shape and greens were decent. There was a single in front of us and a bunch of foursomes in front of him that would not let him play through, no Marshall to be seen. Overall nice course.

Cheap and close

The greens and tee boxes are in bad shape. There was a very slow group in front of us which made it difficult to enjoy. Look, the price was right and it was a fun day on the course.

Tee boxes are worn out and uneven. Fairways are really thin and dry. Some areas along the fairway or rough will be stoney. Greens are bumpy and patchy. Golf course that makes me cringe.

Good course for the cist

Got a hot deal on GolfNow. Prior reviews weren’t great but have to say it was ok. Course not in the best shape but not too bad either. Greens are really slow and bumpy but can’t complain too much for the price. Was a good day and I would play it again - realizing it’s not a premier course.

GREAT COURSE, GREAT VALUE!

Great course! It rained earlier, so portions of the course were bogged down a little, but certainly not a negative aspect. Holes 17 & 18 are super challenging and fun! Just prepare to lose a few balls!
