Good test for all playing abilities

Course was in better than expected condition for the beginning of April after a week a heavy rain. Had a great time playing 18 with my 16 year old son. I am an 6 handicap and my son shoots in the low 100's. Even with such a disparity in our games the course was fun and challenging for both of us.

A good variety of holes. Different elevations and shot shapes.

I took a group of eight to play there from my town, an hour away. Every single player in my group is ready to go back asap.
The course is nice, challenging, fun.
The staff is TERRIFIC!
Will be back soon.

Wet turf, but great condition to play a round

We had a two-day heavy rain, but the course took it well. The condition of the greens & fairways was very good, considering the rains we had. I will definitely come back again.

I grabbed the Bull by the horns and won!

Decided to take a little road trip and take advantage of the Hot Deal rate, about $16.00. One reason was the offering of heated carts, they had covers available but no propane for the heaters but it wasn't a big deal to me. Had about a hour frost delay and the greens took about another hour before you could fire at the pins due to how hard the greens were. Course was not as tough as I had anticipated, I shot 74 from the blue tees but U struck the ball well all day and avoided trouble. If you are wild with the driver this course could give you some big numbers due to the quantity of O.B. markers. Course is in a nice gated community, didn't have much available food and beverage wise that day. I really enjoyed playing it though, our threesome played 27 holes in about 4 hours and 45 minutes.

Great Course, Tough Back 9

Had a great day at the Bull, even shot my first ever birdie on the front 9 Par 3. Little soggy from the fall morning dew, but overall course was very well kemp. Greens in pretty good shape. A few spots here and there could have used some work but over all fantastic deal for the hot deal of the day on GolfNow. I found the back 9 much more challenging than the front due to how hilly it is, but more advanced players would probably have a great time with it.

Great course. Par 3's have nice variety.

I love playing the Bull. I think it has a great layout and nice selection of tees to accommodate your playing ability. I usually rate the course conditions as excellent, but to be fair, I dropped the rating to good. They are having some issues with some of their greens. Nothing that would stop me from playing their again. I love the course and I would still rate the greens as "good".

This is only the second time I've played there, but now I will play it much more frequently. The course is in excellent shape, and is overall one of the best courses in the entire area!

The course was in excellent condition, and the staff was very friendly and courteous. They have replaced the cart paths on the front nine, and once they replace the paths on the back, there is no reason not to play here.

This course was nice. It didn't have any wow factors. With golfnow the value was good. I probably wouldn't drive over an hour and a half for this course again, but overall it was enjoyable.
