Brian's review

The greens are in excellent condition. The fairways need improvement - "ratty" in spots. The Course is challenging. It is an excellent value.

Started at 1pm and played 11 holes. A local gentleman was paired with us and he was a great guy.Will likely not play again as it was too slow and had too many playing from tees above their talent range. probably worth the cost.

Ehhh!

Played the course early on a Friday morning. Staff was very friendly, and price is exceedingly friendly. It was a little chilly, and would have been nice to have a windshield on the cart, but not an option. Front 9 is fairly wide open, but concrete drainage ditches run through the middle of several fairways, sometimes right in landing areas. Understand the need for the drainage, but could have been much better planned. Back nine runs toward Lake Murray. It doesn't have the drainage issue, and was better. Lots of elevation changes. Greens were in excellent condition. Fairways and rough were in bad shape.

Great Time

Took my boys out to play this course. Had a great time. Only issue was the pace of play, it was understandably slow because of the holiday break. Staff was great and the condition of the course was excellent.

Good course for the money but...

Good course with varying terrain and nice views. A lot of hacks on the course in the afternoon so serious golfers should tee off in the morning or run the risk of getting behind a bunch of drinking golfers writing "8" on their card when it should be a 12.

Nice Track

Course was build in like 1963 and obviously shows it age a little. City owned, but in good shape and fun to play. Not everything was perfect, but fairways are green, greens were running true, and layout has some challenging holes. Price was great, staff was fabulous, and played with 3 guys I met who were fun. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to have a nice day of playing golf and enjoying the always nice SD weather.

slow but a great value

You can't beat this place for a $40 weekend round, but that does bring out some hackers and they will accept 5-some, so beware. I played in a 3some and it took us 5 hours to get around.

All-in-all it's a great track that is a little shorter in length but requires some accurate ball striking and shot strategy to really score well. Decent elevation changes and varied hole layouts make this course anything but boring.

I'll be playing here again.

Driving range could use some improvements, higher fence so balls don't end up on the first hole fareway.

Decent course with marginal condition fairways. Greens are in good condition, with some severe undulations on some holes.

Fast vs slow play

I read a review about the slow play, although I'm retired and play early during the week & the course is as fast as you make it. The staff has always treated me well on and off the course!

Too many tee-times booked!

I'd not yet played this course, and decided that it would be a good time to go play. When I arrived at the course, I found that there was another foursome that had the same exact tee-time. We got the go-ahead to tee off first, but there was another group in front of us which had not yet teed off, even though it was time for us to tee off. There were at least 3 foursomes at the starter. On most holes, we had a wait for the group in front of us. This meant that the group behind us was waiting on us, and so on. We got done with hole 15 and probably should have called it a day, since it was getting dark. The whole round took close to 5 hours -- simply due to how many people were playing. It should have taken closer to 4 hours, had there been an appropriate number of players.

Some of the course was in fantastic shape, some was pretty bad. Many of the greens were super bumpy. First hole is right next to the range, and had about 100 range balls in the fairway, making finding your ball very challenging.
