The course features wide fairways and large greens that offer ample room. There aren’t any water hazards a few strategically placed sand traps come into play and there are also mature trees lining the fairways. Golfers will get to practice a variety of different shots on this course. It is player-friendly enough for high-handicappers but there are still some challenges for low handicappers.

Very slow pace of play
Was very disappointed in the pace of play. Took my 4 1/2 hours to finish 18 as players ahead were taking very long. No Marshall or anyone to get pace of play up. At least staff was kind enough to let me go ahead of my tee time… course conditions themselves were not great. Not really good fairways, just a lot of dirt patches. Tee boxes were also half dirt or dead grass. I think there are better courses for a similar price.
Seems to do the job.
I have played this course many times but not recently. Plan to continue in the future but never before have the fairways been so bumpy, even at slow speed. Also lost 3 golf balls in the middle of the fairway due to many indentions or actual holes, etc. Could really use some course management in the form of a marshall, even though the pace of play was good, had a single that came up on us at 15 and hit into us several times and when finished at 18 never saw the jerk come off the course, so he must of came late and tried to get finished so he could illegally play more golf??? Or just wanted to try to ruin somebody else's round.
IF YOUR READING THIS. DONT!
this is the worst course and it keeps getting worse. it is a scam to pay them 50+ dollars to play this course. there is no course management but they got new merch in the pro shop. YOU NEED OFF ROAD SUSPENSION to drive around the course or a serious massage the next day. PLEASE THIS COURSE NEEDS TO BE BOYCOTTED.
Greens in perfect condition
Great price with the senior rate, carts is in good condition, tee box are decent but can be better like being flat, level. Fairways and hit and miss with lots of animals hole that some are covered up but not flat, irregular grasses and uneven fairways. Area near the green have been much improved. Bunker are in the wet side and some areas of the fairways are over watered being a bit muddy. Green are green and in great condition.
Rough
The course could use some assistance on manicure care as several areas were bare but overall the course was fun to play. The worst thing is the bouncing while driving. No hole was smooth, it was rough and looks like a real mole problem to be managed.
They charge money to play here???
I can’t believe the prices they charge to play here. It’s SICKENING. Course is a disaster and that’s putting it very mildly. This is the biggest scam known to man and they are getting away with it. How sad.
Worst corse I've ever seen. Never again...
This corse is the worst course I have ever had the misfortune of playing. I left afterthe first 9. Goffer holed and mounds everywhere. The only redeeming part was the shape of the greens.. Horrible fairways. Overall Horrible course.
