Fun traxk

Only reason for lower rating was the bunkers were horrible. Sand like concrete and grass growing around the edges.

Fairways were generous and the ball rolled out. Greens were very good, fast and rolled true. Pace of play was slow as we stuck behind some PGA pros, at least they thought they were. Finally got by them at the turn and ended up okaying in under 4 hours, we were a twosome.

Great neighborhood course

This is a very nice neighborhood course. Friendly staff, good playing conditions. The greens were in very good shape and the value was very good. No driving range is a drawback. We will be back!

Very well kept course

Didn't realize it was in a neighborhood but the course was in immaculate condition. Probably shop staff was awesome. Went to restaurant between rounds to get a quick sandwich and they said they would be with us soon and then 15 min. Later hadn't waited on us so we left and finished our 2nd 9 so not sure about that part.

In great shape

I really enjoyed playing this course. I played from the red tees and have an index of 16. Fairways wide and in good shape. Rough a but long but playable. Greens slower than I’m used to so practice before starting your round.

Nice Day at a Nice Place

Lots of Sand on the Fairways and around the greens. Condition of sand was inconsistent, Fairway and greens were well maintained and played well. Dave, in the pro shop, was helpful and friendly.

Great Value

Not a high-end course/club, but good enough and a very reasonable price. I would (will) play here again.
