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!

Great course, staff, and Value
This is my favorite low stress course. It's a pretty wide open course as far as being forgiving, however, you still have to play well to score well. Fun layout and sneaky fast greens.
