Good greens, friendly staff, good experience

My family and I really enjoyed our entire experience from bag drop off through finishing on #18. Lots of availability online, greens were in great shape, good pace, everyone allowed us and the groups around us to have fun. Friendly staff, good practice facility. Wide fairways, course ranging from 7,000 yds to white tees that were great for my son at 5,900 yds. Super nice beverage cart experience which we saw 4 times during the round. Lastly, they have a lot of branded attire in the clubhouse from multiple brands. As someone who has played some of the nicest courses in this area, I highly recommend it!

Fun course, fair price

This was my 3rd time playing here. Twice last year and once this year. For where my game is at( 20 handicap) this course is great. Less water than other local tracks and in better shape than lower cost courses. Even better if you grab a hot deal. Well maintained & easy to navigate without consistent green speeds. Great driving range and friendly staff.

The course was in very good condition, especially the greens. The variety of tees makes the course playable and yet challenging for all levels of golfers.
