Overpriced smelly mess

Well, it’s on a landfill and it sure smells like it. Its overpriced due to the way it smells, the amount of trash on the course, and the course layout is not the best. You would have to drive by other people teeing off/playing to get to multiple holes. We almost got hit by 3 golf balls from other people teeing off while we were on the 1st hole. The worst is the smell, I Won’t be playing here ever again mainly due to the smell.

Will definitely be back!

Course was in great shape for being so early in the season. It was really wet from rain the day before, but there was no standing water. Great value.

This Course definitely made me feel like i was dropped into those pictures we've all seen of those beautiful rolling Scotland courses. Not to mention i had a great game! I felt like the scenery matched the cold windy and rainy weather, so i didn't even mind it. Scored a 40 overall on the back 9 including a birdy on 17! Will definitely play again!
