Interesting

Only played front nine due to rain. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially Steven. Fairways dead grass but greens pretty good. Layout, oh my! Target golf for sure. Short holes but harsh penalties for missing the right spot. Always play the high side and think about where the ball will run.

All Blue Tee Box in Bad Shape

First time I play here, I must say all blue tee box are in bad shape, no grass at all, and parking lot is only 20 car space maybe less. Please do not ignore my comment and do something about it.

Not great

The fairways were terrible. The tee boxes were equally terrible. Course was just in ugly shape. Pace of play was slow because there were so many walkers due to a lack of carts. The only thing that was redeeming was the greens. They were REALLY soft and responsive. Big greens and smooth for the most part.

Terrible COVID Regulations

They were behind on golf carts when we get there. When we finished they were still behind on golf carts. We pulled our up to be cleaned and watched one of the employees take our cart out of the line to be cleaned immediately and taken to people waiting to golf. The employee didn't even let us finish clearing our trash from the cart.

Nice

It’s nice but nothing special. Did like there is a range and you could play at ease but it did get backed up.

This course is a fun place to work on your golf game.

This course is a great place to work on your game. It is short but narrow and it allows for a lot of shot making opportunities and strategic choices.

Fun day at the colony

Course is always fun.. also narrow, and challenging at times.. also plenty of birdie look so and pars to be had If your on it.. only few things I wish could improve I still the greens not being so wet/slow and a couple of the tee boxes could use some improvement/ flattening.. other then that the colony always comes thru for a solid, casual, fun time ! Simple review for a simple fun course
