good value

It has been a while since I play this course.

The course condition been kept up well. We played at late morning, no one on the course due to 100 degree+ temperature. Other then the temperature, it would be perfect golf round.

Very nice municiple course

Played this course for the first time and used the white tees. Found the course long and challenging from that tee box. Course was in great shape for a municiple course that usually doesn't experiece players that tend to take care of a course. This course was great!

Greens in good shape

The course is very well maintained and generally in good shape. I think personally that 8 minute tee times is probably a bit too short considering the general age demographic out there, unless you are going to have rangers reinforcing pace of play.

Two of the holes are challenging but overall it’s a good course. If you’re an experienced player you won’t struggle on them like I did

The golf course is in really good shape and fun to play.

On the day that I played the conditions got really bad due to wind and sand so it made it a lot harder than it should have been
