I Recommend This Course
Great value for money
Had a hot deal on golf now. Hard to get better for the money. Nice course layout and fun to play. Great shape for being the summer. Free range balls. Was my first time playing there and I will come back again for sure. They had issues with watering earlier this year when working on their ponds but now it's back to normal. Explaining not so great reviews. But it's all behind now and the course is back in good shape.

Nice Course
This is a nice course for the average recreational golfer. It's not too hard, sort of forgiving. The fairway and greens were in decent shape considering it's the summer. Some of the Greens were actually in great shape, a few of them had some smaller burnt spots. I like that they have a little ball & club wash thing on the cart.
One Problem... The 9th & 18th holes are closed. They're replacing the bottom (waterproof tarp?) at the bottom of the lake/pond. I think they'll finish this in a month or two. They're let you replay holes 1 & 2 so you get 18.

Poor condition
9th & 18th holes closed. There was a warning when I made online reservation that holes would be closed up until June 15th, but I played a full week later. Those holes aren’t even close to opening. Several times I was playing off dirt in the middle of the fairway.

Great course
9 and 18 were closed. The construction was supposed to be completed by 6/14, (we played 6/22). according to the website. Great rate, but I would have liked to experience the full 18.
