Good course for the price paid. Nothing spectacular about it but nothing bad. Greens in good condition but a bit slow. That’s ok.

Management is extremely rude and berated us as players.

Management drove up, did not introduce themselves as course management, accused us as playing as a 6some and continued to yell and harass us. Completely inappropriate way to address paying customers

Course in Need of TLC but Challenging

Fast check in and low golf traffic. Very informal course, nestled in a residential community where you weave through the neighborhood. Course is dated with tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens in need of some serious TLC, but course was very playable and surprisingly, somewhat challenging. We golfed 36 holes, no marshals, no beverage cart service but this was not a problem as we stocked up at the on site restaurant at very reasonable prices. Very pleasant bar staff!! Locals we encountered on the course were friendly with good golf etiquette.

Greens were in very good condition. Fairways were at times sparse with adequate grass coverage.

Never saw a beverage cart. Heard afterwards there might be an issue with their liquor license since the course recently changed hands. Whether thats true or not, it would have been nice to buy a Gatorade and a candy bar on the course

Found the course in very good condition, especially the greens. Fairways could use some over seeding, but all in all very enjoyable. Will be back.
