Great municipal course with decent practice facilities

Great day, good friends, and the course overall was in decent shape. The only issues were a few places where the grass was sparse on the fairways and greens.

Can't go wrong with this course for it's value

First Time Playing

Cheap greens fees! Makes sense.

Clubhouse is in serious need of some updating.

Fairways we're the only thing that was ok. Hit in to the rough and immediately lose your ball. It's so long! And weedy, and the trees must be a nightmare for the grounds crew to combat. There were broken branches everywhere, and I can't imagine the pine needles help with anything. One of the holes is a nightmare scenario, with no trees to slow or block a ball from going directly into a large parking lot full of cars for the park nextdoor.

The staff was very friendly, social, and helpful.

I enjoyed my day there and would return for the price!

I remember

Haven’t played this course in a while. There were marshals that didn’t seem to care about the slow play oh there you are groups that were in front of us. And it seem to be a little pricey for evening play.

Rainy Day

The weather didn’t quite comply with the course conditions, but for the most part it was good to get out and play a round.

Expensive if not on sale

The course is fine, not the best variety but not bad. Only worth playing if on sale, as $40+ a round is steep for what else is around for the same price. GolfNow deal is the reason I play here as much as I do

Local course

Straight forward layout. Nothing tricky. Bunkers places very well to protect green. Greens smooth and never a straight putt.

Very Slow

The pace was very very slow. I did not see a ranger nor anyone from the club house pushing the pase. I did jot get a chance to play 18 holes. Very disappointing afternoon and the staff.
