Great for novice golfers looking for a challenge.
I get to use all the clubs in my bag on this course. Greens, fairways and tees all benefitting from lots of recent attention by groundskeepers. As a fairly new golfer, this course offers challenges on every hole. Value prices and super friendly staff

Good improvements.
You can tell they are really trying with this course. Compared to last year the grass is greener, greens roll great, and water in the water hazards.
Really enjoyed it.

Not a fan. Greens are very slow and have a good amount of disease. On a course like this the greens needs to be better but just my opinion.

Tight layout
I am pretty surprised by the negative reviews.... sure, it's not Pinehurst, or Goose Island, but it's a decent little track. Lots of water, challenging long iron par 3s. Only knock is lack of clubhouse, and poor marshaling, made for very long play when they allow 5somes, solos and twosomes...
Otherwise, greens rolled true, rough is dirt (like most dessert courses) and price is right $40!
