Nice course layout. A little bit of TLC around the fairways and greens and this would be a fantastic course. Very long from from the tips. Staff very friendly and place of play was good.

Beat up

Some of the holes are pretty beat up. Some of the greens are horrible. Some of the tea boxes are all sand no grass. I found out that the place is scheduled to close and they are basically letting it go used to be a great track now not really that probably explains Why there were so many teetimes available for a weekend

Pleasant Surprise

Played the Blue Tees and was all I could handle. Blustery wind conditions but a fair challenge playing off a 10 course handicap. Greens were quite fast and with undulating that was impacted by wind. Par 4's are great and 3's are beasts. Fairways were good, rough was a mixed bag with no certainty of a reasonable lie.

Found it a challenging layout but v fair and enjoyable.

Great track but poorly paced

We started 10 minutes late of our scheduled tee time, but the starter said it would work out because the group in front of us had gone off probably 15 minutes before we did. When we got to the tee box they were in the fairway so I’m not entirely sure that was a group in front of us or someone from 18 decided to play one again.

Great layout, good condition, still pricey.

Tough, but fair course. Great layout. Long, and plays longer! Tee it forward, for sure. Conditions were pretty good, could definitely use more water. Any less rain/water and everything will get dry. If the cost was more in line with other local courses, I'd go more often. The cost is usually near double other local courses.

Makes no sense

The course makes no sense It's willfully hard. Not challenging, more than that..it makes no sense at all. Its all gimmick...thats fine, but when you have so many gimmicks and horrific tee boxes, choppy greens and a fairway that looks like Edward James Olmos's face, well..then you have a problem. how they have the nerve to charge 100+ for this in the am is bonkers to me.
