Excellent for a quick game on a weekday

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The course is in excellent condition with beautiful greens. The pace of play was good We waited a short time on a couple holes once we started. But with 3 players we finished in less than 2 hours. It was the second time we played this course as we are from VA and visiting. We will play again if we can fit more golf in our visit.

Great practice course

Overall very good experience. Wasn't advised the greens were punched until we arrived, but played anyway. A few of the tee boxes were under repair and the holes were shortened. Will play again. Good value for $. Would appreciate a couple other choices for drinks. Maybe individual wine for those non beer drinkers.

Very enjoyable 9-hole

This course is designed well for its space. It was not overbooked, so we were not backed up. I was surprised at how attentive the staff was! There was always someone checking if we needed refreshments, and a marshall was making sure everyone was keeping it a gentleman's game without being rude! Very enjoyable experience!

Fun courses to play.

Rec 9 (Little Rec) is a fun course, but they seemed to have overbooked as there were many groups of five going out. The course is challenging and allows you to use all of your clubs. This was the first time that the staff was not rushing us to finish our round. They often pressure you to finish even before the sun has set.

Super fun

If you want to have a truly good time, and golf, play rec 9. It's affordable for anybody. Plus, they let you wrap around for ten bucks!

Greens were plugged and sanded. Would have been nice to know that up front. Rental carts expensive AND broken

Course play was slow.
Greens were plugged and sanded. Would have been nice if they told us that before we started.
$5 to rent a pull cart for 9 holes!!!! Really? And all the pull carts had no straps, or only one, so you could not tie down your clubs.

Good value, good 9 hole course

This was a last minute decision to play and I found it a good challenge for a executive course. This was first time at this course and will return.
