Fair and simple

If you're military be sure to claim the discount. The course is pretty straightforward and the staff is great. We really enjoyed our first time playing here. The greens are fast and true, although a few of them have not quite recovered from a wet winter as there are still some rough spots here and there.

Try another course

We hated the terrain. The greens are not in condition at all even though the attendant told us otherwise. The tee boxes are not maintained. Not worth more than $20, beginner.

Reception staff not welcoming. Why aren't we seated when we arrive on the cart... We waited more than 30 minutes for the employee to seat us, and this was 2-3 minutes before our departure time.

Score card should have a map

For the visiting golfer the score card should have a map.

Be Brave

Nice layout but llots of water to avoid. Greens bumpy in February.

Back nine has 3very tough holes which i never figured out. The short one is the hardest and a bit unfair with everything being sucked into the water. All 4 players hit the green and rolled into the water within 3 feet of each other.

42 to 44 on front but 45 to 50 on back in 5 rounds in Feb

Nice course.

Where were the Marshalls, people fooling around and taking way too long, playing 2 balls at a time, very frustrating.

The round was bought on Golf Now This was considered a Twilight Round but was sold as a 18 hole not 9. The course and Golf Now should be aware of this and charge accordingly, it was a rip off.

Fairways were patchy and firm, greens were bumpy and very slow, great for a practice round.
