Good golf course tucked away

I was surprised just how good the fairways were and how thick the grass was for July August and the greens were very good and I want to golf it again.

hidden gem

Very nice layout, good use of the land. Can be a short course or long enough from the tips. Several blind tee shots can be tricky. Greens were receptive and ran true and a good pace. Some tee boxes could use some attention, otherwise a great little gem

Excellent course choice

We switched our round from another course with a 3-Star rating and suggestion from a local golfer to this course; it was an excellent choice based upon the challenge and conditions of the course; I played this course last July as a single and recalled several holes for their unique layouts; I brought my 30 yo son with me this year, and both of us were quite pleased with the round despite our lack of knowledge of the course.

I will play this course in future visits to the area.

Gem in the hills

Narrow in parts and challenging on the back nine. Fun to play and staff were very welcoming and pleasant. Had dinner afterwards. Food was good and inexpensive several beers on tap and a full bar. We will be back.

Fun

Course is in good condition and getting better each time we play here. Friendly and accommodating staff. A few challenging holes and overall fun layout. Feel good par fives from the blue tees with a chance to eagle for those of us who have lost some distance as we get older. Don't let the overall length of the course fool you into playing the back tees unless you have a low handicap. Play the tees based on your skill level and you will have an enjoyable round and so will the group behind you.

Almost fun day

I’ve played this course before and the improvements overall are great. The staff are extremely nice and helpful, which compensated for the slow play. The fairways were nicer than my last visit and the greens were spot on. With the exception of playing in between two elderly groups (did not play one hole just to get some distance from them both) it was an great course to play.

This place has so much beauty-unique layout as well.

I really enjoy the challenge of this track but you have to play it a few times from the black to learn what to do and how to play it. The elevations on some greens are very extreme so a rangefinder with slope will serve you well. Oh.. and the 18th green slopes away to back so beware :) Fun course!

Great Outing

As you can see from my ratings, I loved this course. It's very scenic and strives to conserve our precious water resources while providing a challenging golf game.

A slightly lower par does not mean you won't have to use your driver, as there are plenty of long fairways . A precise aim is generously rewarded.

The wildflowers, variety of birds, and the many panoramic vistas make it a gorgeous outing.

And don't miss the heavenly hamburger after your round.
