Decent course for the money.

Layout and course are good. Tee boxes and most of the greens are in rough shape but better bang for your buck around the area. A hackers paradise...

Great Course

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The course itself was in much better shape than other local courses we’ve played, with only a few tee boxes being reseeded. Greens ran fast and true. Pricing was a bit high for what this course is, but still enjoyed the overall experience.

Good value forthe money

Couse is in good shape. Challenging holes Greens in good shape as is the area around the green and the tee poxes. If there is anywhere to improve the course it is o the fairways.

Couse moderately priced. Other courses in the area are charging over $100

They have 8 minute tee times so the pace of play can be slow I have waited on every hole. If I go out first thing as a single I am done in about 2 1/2 - 3 hours

Greens were especially good especially with all the dry weather we've had. Fairways very good. Tee boxes could use some work.

Grumpy starter and shaggy greens but good layout

We had an 8:52 am tee time on a Tuesday. We arrived only to find that we had to wait 40 minutes while 4-5 groups crossed over from the back nine to the first tee. There was no communication from the starter . Ideally the course could have given everyone waiting free range balls to kill time. Pace of play was ok once we got going. Fairways and traps were in good shape. Greens were shaggy but in good condition. Our experience was not worth the morning rate of $70 plus tax.

Course is Looking Worn & Tired

I have played this course.3x. But this ltime the overall course conditions were very disappointing compared to just 3 months ago. All the fairways had very sparse & patchy grass conditions. The greens were in pretty bad shape with a few greens having dead or dying grass areas. The bunkers were fine with plenty of well raked sand. I found the chipping areas around some of the greens to be sparse and lacking grass in patchy areas. The pace of play is strictly dependent on how fast the group in front of you plays or members of the group you are paired with. Basically pace of play is a coin toss but it can be very sliw for fast players..Many of the teeing areas were also in very poor.condition. The price was very good but I won't return until course conditions improve substantially.

Thanks for the comments. This time of year, we begin transitioning from the winter rye grass to the summer Bermuda. It’s never pretty. With the warm weather, the transition is coming earlier this year. Course is looking great now, and should be a great play for a great price all summer long. Come see us soon. Tony

Pace of play

I had a 244-tee time and we got off at 310. In 4 hours we had 14 holes in. Ranger drove up and said cart has to be in at 730. Played with a couple that looked like they had not every played golf before. It does not get dark to 810. A 244 tee time should of let us finish easily. I believe we should be compensated.
