Caring staff that wants to make this course a success.

Greens are really coming in good. The folks there really care about making it a good course. It’s only been open a couple months, but you see the staff working hard to improve the course. Fairways and bunkers are in need of the most improvement, but always is the biggest challenge when reviving a course. One other recommendation would be to make the course GPS ready so to get proper distance measurements.

SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE

For a course that was closed for a decade, the greens are coming in nicely and are already in better shape than the other public courses in town. Can't wait until the fairways grow in, it will be a nice track.

So glad it’s back!

This is a beautiful course that the community had come together to bring back to life after being closed for ten years. It really nice now and it just opened. I can’t wait to see what it looks like in summer.

Work In Progress

Played it for a great hot deal rate so I can’t be too harsh. Greens are coming along and should be solid by late spring. Lost a ball in the middle of the fairway due to leaves. Layout is great, fairways are narrow. Fun course to play.
