Favorite local course

Tight layout makes for delays while you wait for oncoming golfers from nearby holes. Very busy always slow playing. Hard to hit when golf carts are crossing all around you because holes are too close. But it's a good challenging course.

Last round of the year.

Played here a few times., since it’s very close and a good price.

A few challenging holes to you think about shot placement. Greens were a bit dry and therefore a bit fast and if you came in hot, you are chipping back on.

Fairways were dry, but we are in the dry season.

A fun round.

Nice course for value

Course layout is tight on several holes as it's layout is up and back on a few holes where you need to be watching for on coming balls. Pase of play depends on if there's a starter controlling tee off starts... overall I enjoy this course, very pretty and their restaurant is one of my favorites! Taco Tuesday is reason enough to play each week!

Shooting Gallery

First and last time going to this “shooting gallery” - tight fairways and tee boxes. Easy to get lost if you can’t see group in front of you.

We were not informed that “locals” were playing full course outing. Locals all have own carts - some (4) some (5) or (6) to a hole. They hit up on you, into your fairway ( never yelling fore).

They are rude, almost hitting you - give you dirty looks, and just play through like you’re invading their course !!!

This course is hidden for a great reason.....

Felt like I was driving the ball cart at a driving range.

Honestly the nicest thing about course was nice older gentleman at the counter - he’s great!

Moderate challenge

Fairways are tight. Grass on fairways is fairly short, but overall in pretty good shape.

Greens are pretty small but in good shape.

Will play here again.
