Was coming back from some heat related burn issues

Plenty of big trees lining the fairways, moderate condition throughout.

Doglegs through big trees

Need to be relatively straight here or your pitching out of the trees. It was in decent shape, lots of fir tree debris.

Excellent

Had a great 18 hole round, on an excellent course/day. The course was in great shape. I need to play here more because playing the same courses limit one's game. Staff were friendly and professional. Keep it up!

Great value for beginners

Great value for round of golf for a beginner. The course greens were the worst I have ever seen, so a mid handicapper or better would hate this course.

For $25.00 cart included, it is a great course and value for someone just starting out.

The tee box ground was hard. Took effort to put a tee in. A lot of the greens had bare patches. It's too early in the summer to see this especially after the wet spring we had. What happened?

Greens

It’s really nothing that the course can do but maybe blow the little things that fall from the trees and cover a few of the greens. I don’t know how many times they blow them but needs to be more. Besides that great time

No foursome

I booked an 11:30 time and was paired up with some older fellas that played from the forward tees. I played the white. I was having a great time but at # 9 they said they were done. I was stuck in between all foursomes.

There was nothing the pro shop could do so I called it a day. It was beautiful out and I was having a decent round. Just drew a short straw in my pairing. Next time I’ll have my group
