Great experience

We had a very good experience playing this course. The pace of play was excellent for a Wednesday, allowing us to enjoy the round without long waits.

The course itself was in great condition, with well-maintained fairways and greens. The only downside was that the staff wasn’t as friendly or welcoming as we’ve experienced at other courses. Overall, though, the quality of the course made for an enjoyable day, and we would consider playing here again

Pet peeve

The course was in very good condition as usual. However 1 of my pet peeves is when the greens keepers pull a new pin location, they lift the turf. Putts roll off unless directly in center. Never ever green was this way. A course of this quality and price should never have this green condition.

Never Disappoints

Excellent shape, they have 3 nines so never have to play on punched or sanded greens. Price is back down to summer rates so it’s doable.

SLOW - 4 groups on #10 tee box

They have three different nine holes and the backup we encountered today on our back nine was that of a municipal dog track via 4 groups on the same tee……..Shameful
