Course was in good shape. Price was very fair. Greens were in great shape, fairway grass on the thin side, some tee boxes need work. Overall great bang for your buck! Shot makers course, greens well protected with some very difficult pin placements. Looking forward to bringing a better iron game and take on this course again soon!

Shot maker’s course

As a single who likes to walk this is a great course. Fairways and greens in excellent shape given the number of rounds played. If you don’t plan your way around the course it can cost you several shots, particularly if you’re on the wrong side of the green. Staff has always been outstanding to me.

Nice course. We’ll maintained. Mid afternoon tee time and we had the course to ourselves. Great condition tee to green. GPS in the cart for distance was helpful. I would strongly recommend this course. Challenging but not overwhelming.got thru 18 in 3.5 hrs no problem.

Well worth the visit

Challenging holes throughout the course. good large and well kept greens with subtle borrows. interesting layout, attractive holes with interesting wildlife. The course is a little ragged in place due to the weather conditions but didn’t detract from the enjoyment of playing there. Would definitely play it again and take discerning golf friends.

Good golf course

Good day of golf. Staff friendly. Amenities limited. Course is good but not great. Conditions were good including the tee boxes, fairways, and greens.

Not a country club but better than a municipal course. I will play again as it is convenient.

I enjoyed the day. Thank you.
