Great course
Friendly staff and members.
Course was in great shape, tee boxes, fairways and greens were good.
Only issue we had was they have signs all over the place stating no outside food or beverages, but no beverage cart, no halfway house. So if they insist on no outside food or beverages, they should offer something.
We would play again, with our own food & beverages.

Course is looking great this year!
We have played this course many times over the past few years. It has gotten better and better each year. A lot of work has gone into improvements and we can tell there has been a lot of time, effort, and funding put into this course. Keep up the great work and great value!

Best Golf Value in the Vslley
Excellent staff. This resort course is well groomed, wide fairways, nice greens and open design. The sand traps are gravelly and firm but compare well to the poor sand traps in other valley courses. Nice driving range but it could use more target flags.

Good Shape! Good Value!
Course is in very good shape overall from tees, fairways to greens. Ball sits up nicely in the fairways and the greens are running smooth. Grass range tee in great shape as well for warmup or practice.
Not an overly difficult layout, resort style, fun and forgiving. Good course for warmup rounds. Lots of room off the tee for getting the ball in play, lots of room to hit the driver.
Great value at the price and definitely worth playing!

Make time to play here
If you enjoy a round of golf that is fun and challenging without taking out a second mortgage, make sure you check this course out. Great price on golf now. $80. The greens were in great shape, nice fairways. The only setback was the driving range is closed on Wednesdays for 3 hours for maintenance. We will be back!
