Very difficult course

Would have once been a phenomenal golf course but now not so much bunkers are horrible weeds everywhere was supposed to play 18 but only played 9 because of the conditions the grass on the greens had not been cut in some time yes the greens had been punched I understand that part but the greens not being cut or rolled as fresh grass is growing in past the fringes… the cups are not fresh cut especially for Sunday play as there wasn’t fresh edges I would not recommend nor play here again

Had a nice round today playing. The staff is always extremely nice and helpful. The only issue we had today was that the greens were still not back to being 100% yet where they told us they were in great shape. They were still quite bumpy and slow.

Give it a few weeks and I think they will be great. Also, get the food from the food truck after hole 9!

Great challenging course

We loved the course. It was challenging but fair and nice scenery. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful. We will definitely play this course again. The only downside is some of the infrastructure needs upgrading (bridges and cart paths)

Course has improved

Played this course a year and a half ago and it was in bad shape. Looked like someone had mortar shelled the greens. It has new owners now and the course was great. No bald spots on the greens. Fairways are maintained. Course looks great. They are working on the cart paths, but overall a great course to play now.
