Fun course

The course was really fun today as it was dry. It does not drain well and stays wet for days after a rain. Other than that, the course has always been in good shape.

It gets the job done

This course is literally a 5 minute walk from my front door, huge plus. It's a great course to gage how you are improving or not especially, if you play BC a lot. The down falls are as follows. 1. Spotty tee boxes, some are ok and some seem as if they just placed them in the fairway randomly. 2. The greens have no skirt/first cut, or at least that's how it seems. 3. The yard and hole markers, some holes have them some do not, and based off my range finder the yardage is off on a few holes. With all that said I don't really expect a 5 star course for the very reasonable price of 20 bucks. All in all its a great course to go practice at!

Great course

Loved this course! Definitely fun and had a lot of Par 3s which is cool for a beginner for sure. They need to improve the Tee-boxes but the greens were soooo nice. 7/10 for sure

Needs lots of work

I played this course several years ago and it wasn’t bad. Today was horrible! Construction has part of it messed up. Cart paths are horrible because of roots growing under them. Some guy came up screaming at my husband while he was trying to tee off the we needed to start on 10. We informed him we already did the back 9, then he asked if they could play through because they were playing a blitz round. We let them then spent the rest of the day waiting on their slow behinds!! Will not play this course again. Course association members are rude and obnoxious and act like they own the course.

Back 9 in Great Condition

Only played the back 9, but it was in excellent condition. The staff was outgoing and the snack bar went out of their way to make sure our group had a great lunch.

Nice municipal course

Nice municipal course. 3rd hole is shortened for a municipal drainage project. Lile most area courses the sand traps are hard-packed, cart paths are broken, and poorly maintained.

An abundance of Par 3's and blind doglegs may require irons of the tee box depending on your game.

Fairways and greens are in good shape.

UNKNOWN CONSTRUCTION

There is major excavation in process next to / right side back id second green and Nr 3 par 5 excavation in middle of fairway. This former very nice Par 5 , 3rd hole tees are moved up to be a 140 yd par 3 now. They did not post any information about this major construction going on on the Golf Now app to inform one at time of reservation. Please remove this course for any future reservations or put a big warning sign about ongoing construction.
