Great little course

An excellent course to hone your short game. Challenging greens, course is in very good condition. Traps have the right amount of sand and tee boxes are level and well groomed. Course can be busy when the weather is nice but play seems to move pretty well. Played today, 1-1/2 hrs on front and 2 hrs on back. I will be back often.

Great place to practice iron play...

This is a great place to play especially if you are looking to practice your iron play. Greens roll great, pretty quick. However, lots of people do not repair their ball marks on the greens. There was one green where I was able to count 12 ball marks that were not repaired. Because of this, this shouldn’t be a full 5-star rating. But I did give this course a full 5-star rating because it’s not their fault that the idiots do not repair their ball marks.
