Mediocre
Needs capital improvement. Range, range balls, cart paths, tee boxes, pro shop and grill all need help. Greens ok. Value is there for $27. Could be a better experience.
Snobby statement: get the blue jeans off the course.
Humpback Greens
90% of the greens were small "postage stamp" greens. They were all humpback constructed. If you didn't hit the green in the middle 2/3 of the green, your ball rolled off into the green side rough or sand trap on all 4 sides. Parallel fairways throughout the course. Was constantly worried about an errand shot.
Very nice course
We golfed this course last year n now again this year.it was very enjoyable.would n will play again
Good value
The course was very wet cart path only, it was still a good time the price was right not to busy the greens still had a decent bounce all in all a good time the staff was friendly.
GART
Nice course layout. All of the fairways were brown, probably because of the cold weather. Greens were very fast and looked like they had been spray painted green.
Very pleasant and helpful staff.Pace of play great as it was a week day and temp in low 60’s.
Wet and slow
My wife and I played a couple of days after a soaking rain. It was cart path only and didn't look like the course was busy but we found out quickly. There were two groups of fives ahead of us and that combined with no carts allowed on the fairways or roughs, it resulted in a 4 3/4 hour round that could have taken 3 hours. The course allows five in a group but it also allows each member of the club to drive a single cart. 10 carts stacked up ahead of us really tried our patience. Other than the above info it was a very nice course that was challenging. I caution anyone who wants to play this course to select another day other than Monday/Wednesday/Friday at about 1100 to 1130, which is a weekly member group.
Decent course
Course is wide open. Greens are very challenging. They are all in shape of turtle shells and small. Great value for money though
Visiting area
Thought the course was in good shape, friendly staff! We felt the fairways were too close together, at times there were several players in our fairway. Good value!
Clean course
Not a difficult course, pace of play was very good. Very clean course. Staff was friendly , my only dislike was multiple holes were next to each other so many times people were in your fairway... but overall great experience
Nice break from the casino
The course was in good condition. The greens were fast and rolled very true. The course is not overly difficult and very enjoyable to play
Enjoyable Experience
If you're down on the coast and want an enjoyable round for a reasonable price give this course a try. Played as a single and even though behind a foursome, still finished well under four hours.
Not a flatland course, does have some nice elevation changes. Tees, fairways in very. Ice shape. One click down for the greens. Apparently punched recently. Even so, they ran true.
Seniors, 55 and up, have a nice discount.
Definitely will play again.
