Great value and fun course.

Greens had some bad spots, but the hole placements eliminated any issues. They held nicely and rolled fairly true and decent. This is a fun, but somewhat tight and technical course. It's definitely a great value for the area though and I'll be playing here again on my next visit!

Real Bad Conditions and course ranger

Greens were obisimal. Fairways not much better. The course ranger was rude and accused us of taking too long (as we sat there waiting to tee off because of group ahead of us). Avoid this course

Fairways were excellent, tees and greens a little rough. Greens were very quick, with some burn-out.

No houses anywhere, a plus.

Good value overall

Really Good

I booked this course through Golf Now had no problems with the reservation when we arrived. Talked to the gentleman about a replay, he booked it right then and there for that afternoon. The fairways are good and green with plenty of grass under the ball. The tee boxes were in really good shape. All the greens were green with plenty of grass. The course was in really great shape. the marshals really tried to keep the pace of play on time. I really would recommend this course, not a difficult track by any means but a good round of Golf.

Average course

Greens on many holes were in disrepair. We were rushed to tee off 20 minutes before our scheduled time. Needs a few more ball washers and trash bins on more wholes. Also, could be marked better- even helpful would be the hole layout on the scorecard. Average course

Not the worst, not the best

First time playing this course, and after reading the reviews I had fairly high expectations. While it didn't meet those expectations, it was a nice experience.

The good:

Course has a fantastic layout. The physical layout of the golf holes is one of the best I've played. Long par 5's, challenging doglegs with perfectly placed trees that offer those risk/reward shots. Price was good, and the place of play was fantastic (4 hours for 18) even being teed off directly behind others at a 9am tee time.

The bad:

Course conditions left a lot to be desired. Huge patches of dead, concrete dirt/grass all over the course both on the fairway and in the rough. Other patches of standing water in the center of a fairway. While it wasn't even hole, I often found myself having to move my ball onto grass because my tee shot found the fairway but was in a patch of extremely hard dirt. Greens wearnt terrible, but the grass was quite long so it made the putting experience more of hit it close and pick it up because you had to mallot it up there just ro get it to the hole.

Overall, the experience was good for the price. It they were to do some work and get the conditions back to where it should be, the layout would provide some of the best golf in the area.
