Cheap course

Cheapest round in town, but unfortunately the quality matches the price. I’d rather not golf here again.

Mediocre course

Doesn’t drain well, doesn’t dry out quickly, fairways in poor/okay condition, greens need lots of help.

Just an okay course, if you live in the community, I guess?

30 bucks was a slight relief, until I got onto the course.

I don’t normally beat-up golf courses, but if you’ve got a beating coming...

I little extra effort on the groundskeepers and it could turn around quickly.

We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve.

Birdie hunter

The staff were very hospitable. The starter was excellent he was giving great instructions for the course layout. I really enjoyed the elevation changes! There are some outstanding shots that give you many different ways to get where you want to be. I will definitely be back ànd will recommend the course to a friend.

Best The Greens Have Been In A Long Time

Course has done a lot of work on the greens, and it showed. A little faster than when previously played, but rolled good and true. Pace of play can be hit or miss depending on what time you get out, but definitely worth money.

Winter golf

For winter golf (if I was home I would be ice fishing) it was very nice. Three course was in better shape than i expected. Greens we're fine for winter, fairways were dormat and tight, it's January. For the price it was a nice day. Staff was friendly, I really enjoyed the layout. I wonder what shape the course is during prime season, I have no clue.
