Great experience

We were 3 players and the pace was great. We let 2 different singles play through. The course was in very good shape. You can tell they have done a lot of work on the course. Some bunkers need sand but I'm sure that will be taken care of. I enjoyed the beautiful day playing golf on this course

bang for the buck

good greens rough and fairways grass a little tall finding balls in play is difficult. clubhouse is a wreck and probably should be torn down. course was good . timber creek could take a few lessons on maintenance. compared to timbercreek 100 percent better course.

Not bad for the money.

I like the course and the layout. It plays moderate from the white tees. The bermuda rough it too high to be considered fair at the moment. It's about 3" tall just off the fairways and greens making it very difficult to make solid contact. About a third of the tee boxes and greens are in rough shape and need desperate attention. But overall for $50 nowadays this is what you get. I have played there 3 times this year and the course has looked the same every time. I do like the course and will play there again.

Good course, good value, greens struggling a bit.

Not a bad value. Good layout. Never seems to be really busy. Back 9 greens in much better shape than front 9. Had a good time and will be back.

Upset

I have been to this course multiple times over the past few years and when I played yesterday the kid at the pro shop was incredibly rude. He kept giving me a super hard time and getting huffy over very small non problematic things. The person at the pro shop is supposed to be the face of the beginning of your golf game to start the day off right. I was upset about that guy for like 6 holes making me and my buddies kinda disgusted to say the least. I have always enjoyed the course even though alot of the times the greens are pretty rough, but for the price I paid it was fine. I honestly never leave reviews but that guy made it very unpleasant for me to want to go back.
