Great Course

Course is in great shape though the bunkers could use some love. Greens roll true and are quick. Great layout.

Play this gem!

Great layout, great condition.

Most greens are elevated, making easy approaches difficult.

Pin placement and fast greensmade putting difficult this day.

Garbage pace of play.

You can do every trick in the book. People will ruin your round here. Not allowing faster groups to pass. Walkers who can’t keep pace. It’s a crap show. Used to enjoy this course.

There was a lot of rain earlier in the week including some the night before. They had the course in excellent condition however. The greens were receptive but fast and the fairways had only a few wet spots. Very enjoyable playing conditions.

Great golf course

The elevated greens at this course make it challenging. However, it is very well-maintained and the staff is very friendly. I would highly recommend golfing at this course.
