Great short game track

Lives up to its claim of best short course in the valley. Greens are in good shape and roll true. A few tee boxes are a bit tattered, but overall course conditions are good. Players of all levels will enjoy.

Great Condition Overall

Beautiful layout, challenging Par3 course!

Tee boxes and greens could be maintained better..

Although the greens are consistent so it was easy to predict the speed and breaks..

We will be back for the quick round and practice the accuracy.

Great par 3 course for $10!

Can’t beat an 18hole Par3 course for $10. Greens aren’t in the best shape, but still worth it.

Great practice course

1st 9 was great, back 9 water sprinklers were on. Had to ask greens keeper to turn them off. He would wait till AFTER I teed off and walked to my ball. The greens were brown so needless to say the fairway & greens were drenched. Seriously affected my game.

Didn’t realize it was walk only course but it was easy to walk and finished in less than 2 hours. Fun to play, leave your driver at home, you won’t need it.
