An interesting course with very bad greens

The course is very interesting to play

Nice holes, not easy

Thanks for the comments. Due to the heat and drought, our greens are transitioning from winter rye to summer Bermuda a little early this year. The staff is on it, and the greens are looking much better. Come out and try us again. And be sure to introduce yourself! Tony

Fun track

This is a really solid track for the money - the layout is interesting and there’s a lot of variety and challenge throughout. That said, the greens need a ton of work. If the greens were in better shape, it would take this course to the next level!

Thanks, We are transitioning from winter rye to summer Bermuda a little early this year due to heat and lack of rain. Things are looking better already. Come out and see us again soon. We will always try to be the best deal in town. Tony

Greens need work

The layout of the course is fine but the course itself could use more care especially the greens.

Decent course for the money!

It’s worth the play. 1.2 handicap index here and played from the tips and it was quite the challenge. Shot 73 with 4 birdies and 5 bogeys. I will say it’s in decent shape for a public golf course in this area. If you’re on the fence, give it a try. If you want pristine conditions then pay the money to play somewhere nicer. For the money, you won’t find a nicer course in this area.

Starter is unprofessional and rude

Starter is unprofessional and just unfriendly in every way. My group of 8 used to golf here at minimum once a week but stopped because of him and solely him. We played here last week to give it another try and once again he was rude.
