Nice course, good overall experience.

Glad we looked past critical reviews to play the course. The course is quite pretty and moderately challenging. I thought it was in reasonably good shape except for cart paths which are quite rough. Looks like a lot of nice courses with economic limitations.

We got off behind a men's group of some kind (4 foursomes) which played very, very slowly. It appeared as if the 90 degree rule in effect the day we played did not apply to them, nor did the usual expectations to rake after a bunker shot.

They were friendly and forgiving, however as I hit my tee shots a little close to them a few times as they were playing their 2nd or 3rd shots. It was just my wife and I and we did indeed have all day, so no serious problem for us. I just find it terribly hard to wait a bunch on the vast majority of shots.

Great place to play

This golf course had the feel of a Pete Dye design, visually intimidating. Extensive practice range. The greens demand respect. I played early in the season, the course was just coming back to life. But still a good value. Very close to I-75 so this would be a great place to stop going and coming while traveling.

Nice course, a little rough this time!!

I've played this course many time and it is usually in good shape. This early in the spring the grass in just starting to grow and the greens were pretty bumpy. I fully expect the course to be in its normal shape with time.

Excellent bang for the buck!

Despite the lack of spring, the greens were in excellent shape. If you like to putt on fast greens (as I do) this is an excellent choice. The staff is always super friendly.

I have always found the course to be in great condition and I like the layout of the course variation of holes

One negative that we found was that the pin placement on two tiered greens was in an unfair Position neither on upper or lower level but in between which was very difficult to get close to without rolling back to the lower side,ridiculous placements

A course with a lot of slope and a tight back nine.

In October the fairways were a little spoty. Greens were fair having been recently airriated. The courses offeres some intereresting drop down holes on par threes. The back nine plays pretty tight but not all too long. This course offers alot of slope.

Make sure you get a deal if you are going to play here.

I was able to book a tee time on here for $20 with a cart on Sat afternoon. I told my playing partner that was all I would pay to play this course in the condition that it is in. I had always heard great things about the course and was disappointed. The greens were ok but the fairways lacked grass and/or were brown in numerous places. The cart paths were filled with potholes. While I normally don't care what a cart path is like since I am there to play golf, it got old being thrown around the cart or kicking up large clouds of dust from the gravel.

Typically like this course when it is <$25

The houses and views are pretty solid at this course; however, there is a lack of paved cart paths making for an occasional bumpy ride. The greens could be slightly better maintained but there is not a signficant complaint. Still would play this course everytime I see it for a <$25.

Targets and hills

Very visually pleasing. Several elevation changes on the course.
Usually in good shape for a daily fee course although the bent grass fairways come under a lot of stress in the summer
