Nice short course

Friendly pro shop. Only two sets of tees and white and blue tee boxes set up next to each other making the distances short. Greens in excellent shape but slow. Overall nice local course

Worth the price

Great executive course for the price. Several par 4s allow you to pull out your driver if you choose.

Wide open fairways and would recommend for beginners.

Busy as expected on the weekend. Able to walk without any issues.
