Great course for any skill level
Really enjoy this course. Perfect for me when I want to play a quick round. Unlike the 3 pars you can use all your clubs here. Pace of play is good and the course is usually in good condition.

Ouch
I snagged my right forearm on the metal frame of the second hole tee box sign. The gash was an open wound 1 inch by one-half inch.
I had to leave the course and go to Urgent Care.

Great course great price
Golfed here many times. Left plenty of birdies for you all. Always a great value and course is in very good shape. Greens are smooth except for you all that don’t fix your ball marks
I fix them though kinda of my way to keep in shape for my next round. Also love the Golf Pass APP. Use it all the time
