Municipal Course Condition

Course conditions were sub-par. Cost should have been $85.00-$95.00. No driving range. Staff were very helpful. Pace of play was slow due to frost delay.

Nice starter course

Wide fairways with lots of bunkers. Bunkers not maintained too well. Delayed start due to frost, pace was slow initially, but picked up after 5th hole. Greens were good.

The course was in excellent condition for the fairways and the greens however there needs to be a lot of work done i the sand traps as most of them are hard packed .... Also more attention needed to the perifferal landscaping as it has been neglected over the years

Staff were extremely friendly and helpfull

From the start, staff stood out, very hslpfull and friendly. It was a little cool this morning, on check in the staff representative went to the kitchen and brought us a hot coffee, and said no charge, enjoy your round. Even though we had a frost delay, the Greens were incredible. We would play again.

Extremely poor condition

Bunkers were clay, not sand and had gras growing in them. Much of the course had brown or no grass. Greens were were good.

Aesthetic is very poor.

Great course

Everyone is writing bad reviews but this course is pretty decent. Yea the bunkers aren't the best for your money but stay out of them makes it more fun. All the people mad at this course probably slice or hook but if you hit solid golf balls you will have fun. I would play here again I shot an 84 and had a blast under 4 hours.

Not great.

There are dozens of other courses in the area that are better than this course. I am sure it had it's day, but that must have been 20 years ago. Tee boxes and greens were in fair shape, but fairways, and any other area were in terrible condition. All the homes along this course are in dis-repair, and some are even boarded up. Go to Oasis, shadow mountain, or Woodhaven, which are close. They are far superior courses and well maintained.
