Hit 'Em Straight

The greens were fast and a pretty good shape. The fairways had been trimmed and mowed but they were pretty choked up up with all the clippings, hard to find your ball.

Staff was friendly, but there was no ranger and a very slow foursome in front of us, who did not let us through until the 13th hole. There was no one in front of them for the rest of the nine holes.

Fairways were in good shape; tee boxes and first cut of rough were shaggy; no sand in the bunkers; greens were in very good shape, but quite slow.

Food and bar were very good..

Great time.

I think we got lucky with a foggy morning, there wasn’t anyone close to us. I didn’t bring a jacket so the guy in the pro shop let me borrow one. Everyone’s just really nice there, and the course plays better the 2nd time when you know the layout.

Narrow and blind shots galore...

First time playing this course and thank God we were paired we 2 others that had played it many times.... Course is narrow with alot of blind shots.... All the natural vegetation which is on every hole should be played as a lateral hazard and not a lost ball... In my opinion its just to narrow to play all the vegetation as list ball territory....

Golf Now charged me before I said ok

Golf Now had a “Hot Deal”, so I checked it out as I also had a coupon code to apply, well , before I could say Yes OR enter my coupon I had a tee time set and now way to change it

I told the course, course was OK condition , interesting layout, but fairways need some attention, traps as well, course was pretty steady

Best conditions of the year

Right now Ideal great rolling greens and the fairways have grass from all the rain. The rough is 2-3 inches deep with clover patches providing some resistance and hidden balls. Watch! Great course for target golf as many fairways slope to one side. The mature oak trees make this course quite scenic, and on a few holes overhang a bit. Helps to use less than driver off some tees to keep in short grass. When in doubt, on approach, take an extra club. Some elevated greens have fronts with grabby grass. Shorter length of course still provides interesting challenges.

Lack of staff

At least when I played I noticed a bit of staff lacking. Besides that, nice links to play! Greens were well manicured. I certainly enjoyed my game with a very nice pace.

Target golf to fun green

This place offers scenic views and fun shots. Rolling along you find nicely placed tee boxes, rolling narrow fairways, and contoured greens..... not a long course BO allows you to play a variety of shots while dialing in the short game And rolling the rock on some nice little greens!!

Round Ok - do not bring good balls.

DO NOT BOOK IF YOU ARE A SINGLE. Morning pro shop dude would not let me go out - said that I had to wait for a 2 or 3 some but that could be hours. Eventually, he let me start on their "turn," which starts at 12 but told me I would again have to wait to partner up at 1.

Finished and the 2nd guy at pro shop said it was no problem to continue - just talk to the starter and said he hears complaints all the time about the older morning guy. Starter was really cool and just pushed me along.

Course has some bare spots and weeds - no cuts of rough ... could not differentiate the fair way from the rough at times. Do not bring your good balls - you will lose them in the rough and grass clumps. Greens were VERY slow.
