Rating Snapshot
About

The golf course measures a modest 6,020 yards, but should not be taken lightly. Although both nines on "The Babe" are par 35, the back side sports four par-4 holes in excess of 400 yards, providing a challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

Love the course
Pace was good and the greens are in great condition
OK, but a bit rugged
A good day in spite of golf. Challenging lay. Greens were slow. Fairways not as well maintained as some other courses in the area. Given the TeeOff price, I would play again.
Staff is friendly and helpful. Conditions are okay other than the greens are terribly slow.
November Golf
For November golf the course was okay. The greens were okay ,not great. Long par 4’s good test. Sand traps are alittle firm.
As good as it gets
Ok to get a round in during the day. Not a very challenging course length wise but you still have to hit quality shots. Great place to drop a couple balls and get some work in.
Very nice
Was a single ,starter peared me with another single. Very nice man ,enjoyed the round ,nice course and man . Greens good shape for no rain in last couple weeks. Was outing ahead of us but they moved along. All in all from pro shop ,starter to course was a very nice day. Thanks to all!!!
Love the course
We played the day before the hurricane Ian. The course was in good shape and the staff was very friendly. We were able to get in 18 holes before they closed. My friends and I love the course.
It flatters me
Love this course very forgiven made me look like I know how to play
Going down hill
All the money being spent on the new clubhouse needs to be split and given back to the course . If there is a maintenance crew they forgot how to mow . The rough was US Open lengths for amateurs. Losing a ball during the round that should be found easily because the rough is so penal it takes the enjoyment out of playing .For a municipal course it's in a sad state of affairs as the rough is only one challenge . Won't be back for a long while
Great course
I love playing here. Course is always in good condition
Mow the grass
Lost balls in fairway because of the un-mown grass. Greens were hairy too. Tee boxes are pretty beaten down. Too expensive for a municipal course. I will not play here again.
