Great Track!
This course was a lot of fun. Very well maintained, with big greens. They have the ability to move the pins and give this course a new look every time you play it. Greens were in great condition, fairways mint, overall great course.
Dump
Among the worst courses I’ve ever played. $58 to play with a cart and it wasn’t worth half that. No starter on a busy Saturday and it was a free for all. Twosomes all over the place…people just teeing off whenever they were ready. Didn’t seem like there were any rules of any kind. Course is terrible and the tee boxes are an absolute joke.
Fun outing
Chance for my son and I to get in a quick nine. We had a great time. Course was in good shape. Definitely better than last outing.it’s obvious they are focusing on improvements. That’s a good thing. Fun, cost efficient, well paced round. We’ll go again
All the stuff was excellent the bar the service there was great same with the cart girl and check in at the counter at the golf shop. I actually have my best friend of the year having never played that course before.
Great golf course
Course was in great shape. Finished in less than 4 hours on a beautiful Saturday morning.
Great public course
Great public course with good maintenance and nice staff.
greens were kept nice, but nothing else. not worth $65.
Last minute round
I needed a round to loosen up before a local
Outing. Staff was friendly and courteous. Got out early. Course was in good shape. Greens a little on the slow side. Played 18 in just over 3 hours. A great value, for a last minute warm up round. Close to the airport hotel and easy to find. I’ll play here again next time I’m in town.
Solid!
Very enjoyable round of golf. Challenging enough for the casual golfer, and fast enough (no waiting) for a 3.5 hour round on a weekday AM.
Fairways in decent shape with thin lies. The tee boxes needed the most TLC. Greens were consistent.
