Really Solid Layout

The back nine is fun and challenging with the exception of the artificial island tee box on the long par 5. The front nine is pretty wide open and tough to lose a ball on. Bunkers and rough were well maintained but there were diseased spots on multiple fairways and greens. I personally thought the greens were tough to read properly .

The amenities are pretty basic. I don't like how they have the practice green all the way between #1 tee and #2 green. I paid $46 on Sunday morning which was $6 too much.

Excellent value

Found this course on GolfNow and according to the reviews it was worth trying. We were not dissapointed! The course is in excellent shape... the greens , even though they had been plugged and rolled, played near normal.

The scorecard gave accurate distancing to the first hazard for each hole which proved to be handy on most holes. The layout was fair to most levels of play and challenging enough to make the complete round interesting and enjoyable. I will definitely be returning for more rounds of golf at this course and have recommended to several friends already!

Ladies League

Pace was hampered by being the first one off after the ladies. Course has a few issues with what appears to be winter kill or disease. Greens were recently aerated so a bit bumpy but for fifteen bucks I can't complain. I will in the future check courses directly to see if league play conflicts with Golfnow tee times. Senior Tees are way to short. Played the white and was more comfortable, Group behind played the gold and felt pressed to hurry because the gold box would be 50 to 100 yards difference and a few the difference was over 200 so they would be played as 4/5 pars.

I will play here again on a different day and rate the course accordingly.

Great!

Great course for a great price! Played around 930am. We waited on no one, and a single was waiting on us on the back 9 but declined to pass us so he could play multiple balls and practice. Staff was great, cart girl was great, bar attendant was great. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

Well Maintained Course

I was overall satisfied playing this course for the first time.the course was maintained and the greens were clear of debris ans trimmed. It was a little slow, but during this Pandemic, golf is one of the only socially acceptable pastimes and the day was beautiful. Will go back again and would recommend to anyone.

Two different 9 hole courses make a very enjoyable round

The front is short and open easy for a golfer of any length. The back requires more length and more accurate shots. Very enjoyable 18.
