Great Day Golfing

This course is fun to play. Not too challenging - just fun! The fairways are in good shape, as are the tee boxes. The greens with one small exception are in excellent shape. Try it! You will like it!

Very Good Course

Enjoyed this course very much. The layout was good with some forced carries but they were not too bad. The fairways were green and in good shape. The tee boxes were well used but we were able to tee off with no problem. With a few minor problem spots, the greens were in very good shape as well. The staff was very friendly too. We will be back!

Okay, but not great

Course stays wet making it difficult to hit off the fairway with encountering mud. Fairways and greens are much improved from last year. Course is long and challenging for those that prefer a more friendly course, but provides a lot of rush reward opportunities. Most all greens are well protected proving few opportunities to do chip and run.

Love The Layout!

Nicely designed golf course! Tough in spots, longer par fours than I’m used to. Would like to see it when the heat turns the dormant Bermuda green!

Tough course

Don't play from the blues if you can't hit at least 250 off the tee. You'll make everyone suffer hitting 3 woods for your second shot on Par 4's. This is a great layout and tough course. Very enjoyable test of golf.

Good Value

For the money it’s worth playing. As it relates to maintenance, the course needs a little work. The fairways are either real nice or spotty. The traps are inconsistent too. Tee boxes are just OK. The greens though are in great shape. The greens and the course layout are the best features for the cost to play. Staff was friendly. Disappointed that the restaurant wasn’t open. Pace of play was outstanding just under 4 hours. For the cost to play I would play it again!
