Not worth price

Definitely overpriced, even for this area. No real driving range: 80 yard hitting cage. Course in good condition, but funky layout. No course layout on score card or online. Been checking the times on daily basis and only 4-6 groups per day. That should tell you something about being overpriced right there! Wanted to see driving range and starting area before signing in, but was told couldn't do it unless had a tee time. Definitely not worth $300 to play. Wonder how long it will take to realize it's overpriced.

Did 9. Lots of fun, good course, passed the drink snack 3 times. But that twisty stick the ball rolled over on the fairway straightened out and slithered away.

Nice course

Very nice golf course.We played after 2pm when the rate is reduced by$100 to $ 249.I would not pay to play at a the higher as it is not justified.It's evident by the lack of players which made it very nice for us as we had no one in front or behind.

Resort Course

Nice layout with excellent amenities, friendly staff and top notch pro shop. Disappointing practice facilities with a net driving range and no short game area. Not even a chipping area. For the price this was unexpected and a letdown. I would hope they would enhance this area of the course to make it a more desired destination.

Nice Redo

Newly redone course excellent staff and clubhouse very quick play had a 2 some and we finished in 3 hours. Course needs to grow out a little but nice layout
