Will not go back

Staff was not friendly. would have helped to have a course map. First tee is a block away from the club house, cart paths are not well marked. Fire ants on the course got my feet on the first hole. Golfed with lovely couple from Canada.

Fantastic green, exceptional staff

As previously mentioned, these greens are lush and true. Overall layout fits our game, fairways are nice to hit off. It was highlighted to us that they are waiting on a supply of sand for the traps, so they can all be upgraded, however they are still playable. The staff will do everything they can to make your stay and round memorable.

Great place to practice on a course.

No driving range so you need to use this course to work on your playing skills. The greens were firm and reasonably fast and in good condition.

Great conditions/ Not much style

This course had some of the nicest greens I’ve ever played. Not a divot to be found. True roll of the ball. Fairways were also beautiful. Great clean ball striking.

The downside was the location. The course wanders in and around a rather sad looking neighborhood. No ambiance at all.

Beautiful day and nice course

My husband and I enjoyed this course. The employees were terrific, and the Club carts clean. No driving range, which we were not pleased about, but a nice putting and chipping area.

The greens on this course are terrific. Truly green and mowed perfectly. The fairways were a little rough, with a lot of uneven areas. The roughs were quite long. many of the sand traps were hard, packed sand…but then, we shouldn’t have Ben in them. Ha

Overall, we we would golf there again. Four stars.

Great staff nice layout

Friendly staff, not to bad of conditions, some bunkers were hard and sand less while others were fine. The greens were in good shape and the fairways were also in good repair. As almost every hole was protected by bunkers the sand conditions did factor in your play.

Pace of play vertically slow and we waited on every hole. Never saw a course assistant during round.

Sand needs some work.

Some 10 mins travelling between greens & next tees, good fairways & greens, difficult (fast) greens. Value-for-money was expensive in comparison to courses in the area, quality of rental clubs very poor.

Greens on this course

The greens on this course were the best of any course I have ever played, and I have played around the world in six continents. This staff could not do enough for, in al areas of the business. We had a guy with us that sprayed the ball, so closeness to homes became a problem for him. I would recommend this course as a must play.

Course Condition

You could tell that the course was not well maintained. The greens were in excellent shape! But the rest the course is not as well manicure as compared to the rest of the courses I’ve played in the area. Lack of water. You’re crossing over busy streets at least six times which I thought was unsafe and very bothersome.
