Wet weather

Used cart

Fresh cold apples on start of each nine is a nice courtesy . One of the best tracks in this area. Only draw back is course doesn't dry out for a while after rain--although we have had excessive amount of rain lately. Still played longer with damp conditions. Greens are better than they have been but hopefully get better into spring.

Friendly folks and a free apple makes for a pleasant experience.

Well kept large fairways and greens

Good fun course unlike most casinos you don’t get free range balls. Very intermediate friendly with large fairways and greens. There’s usually deals for $20 on golf now making this a wonderful experience.

Classy course

It’s an elegant resort style course not too difficult we really enjoyed it. It could be better maintained specially around the greens because most pin holes look worn out some not even round, need new holes cut at least.

Wet but a great round

Great course even with it being cart path only. Most of the staff was really friendly but the afternoon cart lady had an attitude!!! Didn’t let her attitude affect the experience at a wonderful course

Let's do it again

The course layout is great, plenty of hazards to make it a challenge for all. Fairways and greens are well maintained. Staff members are friendly and very helpful. Once you make the trip you will return to play again.
