Great Day of Golf

The course layout is fantastic. Front 9 along the river makes for some amazing views.

But the 1 thing I will never forget about today was the gentleman running the Pro Shop/Clubhouse. He is everything that's right about the game of golf. We took my 10 year old son along today, I've had terrible experiences taking my son along in the past. Some courses treat kids like they don't belong there, this was hardly the case. The gentleman in the pro shop treated him like a tour pro, hooked him up with a yardage book and logo ball. This is the type of thing that turns a 10 year old kid into a lifetime golfer. This type of thing may not seem like a big deal but its these type of things that grow the game of golf. I tip my cap to this Ambassador of the Game because thats the only way to describe him.

Thank you so much for a great experience!!

Greens were in great shape but slow. Fairways needs a little more growth but getting better.

I like the layout of the course and the challenge. My only double bogey was number 3 over the water. I shot 77 so I am happy with that!

Layout is great but...

Course needs some tender loving care. Cart paths were rough and fairways needed some attention. Greens looked great but were slow.

As good as it gets around here

Love this course and the people. The work gone into this course over the last little bit has been tremendous This course is a jewel Now for the bad. It doesn’t matter if there’s 20 cars in the lot or a hundred the pace is always painfully slow. No rangers to move the 6 hour guys along. Plan on packing a lunch. Other than that. 5 stars.
