nice, clean course

We had a great day. It was hot, but nice clean course. I lost my glasses on the course and got a call a few days later that they had them.

A Hidden Jewel !!

Plays long even from the white tees..Would have to drive 2 counties to find a better course, for the price. Hats off to whoever maintains the overall condition of the course, especially the putting greens. Every hole, the greens roll consistent. I drive 75 mins to play this course, every other week. It's on my "to do" list___

Practice facility is worth noting too, including the clean men's restroom. Bar & Restaurant, has a great outdoor seating area to cool off after a birdie, par, bogey free round . Lol, Good Luck!!

Best Back Nine!

This course offers a relatively basic front 9 experience, however, the back 9 is where this course really shines. One of the best times I've had during a 9 hole period. Great variety, some reachable par 5s, a short but tricky par 3 and a par 4 with a drop in elevation well over 100 feet. The course was in good shape over the holiday weekend. Pace of play was pretty slow on the front 9, but the $2 beers at the turn definitely helped the process. If you're in the neighborhood this course is definitely worth a visit.

Great signature holes

Great course , great value! Beautiful scenery, tons of wildlife. The greens are in great shape. Even with the very hot summer, the course stayed in excellent playing condition. Staff is great.
If you have never played here, you are missing a jewel in the north wine country.
