Just OK

Not the same course it used to be. Miss the two par fours. Seems a little tricked out just to fit in the “10th” hole which is a little bit of a gimmick. 9th hole, 57 yards. Really? But the price was right. Bring back more than limited access to a driving range. But there’s always Westchester for that.

Great 10-Hole Course

$35/pp on a Saturday afternoon, but the course is a perfect walking 10 hole par 3 course. It was a little busy, and the first few holes were backed up but not too badly.

It’s attached to the TopGolf next door, but has its own bar and retail shop. If you want to avoid crowds for your post-game rounds, I’d recommend hanging here instead of going into the main facility.

I’ll definitely be back!

Great spot to get a short game in

Great little spot to get away and play 10 holes. The naming convention with each hole, the benches and trash cans plentiful, the scenic view, the surprise on the 10th hole, the shock of the 9th, and the subtle signs placed throughout the course. Great place to bring a family, friends, or colleague. Overall a joy and fair priced. The little bar, tvs, food, souvenirs, golf, apparel, call supplies, and just an overall friendly staff. It was worth it!

Not worth the money

For 10 holes, this was definitely not worth the money. Nobody fixes their divots, a random guy with his dog walked onto the green we were about to play on and his dog peed on it, and the guy cutting the lawn decided to cut a different green as we were putting on it. For $25, there are other courses I'd rather play.

Great short game course

Brought my 12 yr old son to play for his first time off the range. He had a great time and already wants to play it again. I par'd every hole and had fun working on my short game (longest hole is 150 yards, shortest was 55).

Finished all 10 holes in an hour. Great food inside the clubhouse and super easy parking, check in, etc. Only thing missing is a path going from green to tee box, but not a deal breaker.

The grass was hard as a rock.

Basically all the grass was hard as a rock or as soft as mud, the greens were slower than my grandma walking through walmart, and that’s about it.
