Very SLOW

Staff was wonderful to let us tee off an hour before our scheduled tee time. BUT the pace of play was very slow, we ended up not finishing 3 holes in the back. We were already going into 5 hours of play! There was NO marshal around to push golfers. Don't think will play this course again.

Good bang for your buck.

Course has its challenges but very playable. Has a range of length of holes to wet any beak. Under construction on the main building. Appears to be a deck area, Looking forward to that. Nice bar on the inside but tmwith construction, not a great place to hang out after the round just yet. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Oh My!

The first hole gives you a hint. Green is elevated! And I mean elevated. Dog legs, more elevated greens, where's the green?!

It was a difficult course for me.

IT WAS LOADS OF FUN!!!! Great vista..

YOU SHOULD TRY IT.

Challenging course

Hilly terrain is challenging and fun, but the only friendly person there was working at the grill. Starter definitely needs to be more friendly towards women golfers.

Course had recently been aerated and women's tee boxes need work.

A very challenging course though playable

Unfortunately it was cart paths only and this meant a great deal of walking up and down some steep inclines for two over 75 golfers. The greens were well maintained and true. Very picturesque holes and unique challenges.

Nice, picturesque course to play

The course has had improvements since the last time I played it. Many trees were cut down to open the views of other fairways. The back nine has multiple challenging holes and a very elevated 3 par that is very picturesque. I enjoyed playing this course, but did not like the cart path rule especially on some of the holes. The fairways were sprayed green which was very beautiful making the brown grass look like sand.

Needs help

I have lived in the area for 20 years and I have played the course multiple times. I paid $21 after discount and consider it worth that cost. The standard $60ish a round would be way too much for the winter conditions. Greens were inconsistent on each green, not just between greens. Back nine has never been my favorite, but it is their course. Hopefully the spring will bring a much better experience.
