Course layout was confusing at times as found we were hitting to the wrong green a couple times. Better signage would be helpful. Greens are rough. It’s beautiful with the water and trees. We would go back again.

Narrow hilly water oak

Love this course. There is difficulty in many places. I always enjoy playing because it more than just hitting the ball. You have to manage. It doesn’t look like much from the highway. Don’t be fooled. Fairways are narrow, there are trees and of course water. You cross water three times. One for me is always a layup. Fun course. You won’t be sorry. Some of the greens are experiencing some acne but think I remember just one or two. Go have fun.

Hole #10 is a ridiculous hole. Par 5. Your normal third shot has to hit way over a large pond. Unlikely for most golfers. Course was in fair condition. Tee representative was very good though.

Greens in good shape, but postage size. Fairways need a lot of work and is confusing layout. Friendly staff, but the course need TLC. Greens in good shape but postage size. Need to be redone.

A.C. ( after Covid)

Course was in pretty good shape. Last year was kind of burnt ( greens) but looks like the covid down time allowed them to water the greens and remove a few trees.

Tee boxes were usual trailer park with not much wear and tear.

Fairways were groones and able to define rough from fairway.

Greens were a bit fast but not bad.

Will visit again. Nice layout and a fun course to play.

And you might even get a complement frkm the 'Regulars' who play from the gold tees instead of the tips.

Fair conditions

Fairways were kind of rough. Greens were slow. Course layout unusual. Good to have someone that’s played the course before if it’s your first time.

Needs water and work.

Greens were in good shape but slow in pace. The layout is a little confusing with several parallel fairways. You actually travel back across a few tee boxes. The paths are well marked to help. The eighth hole has been changed for quite some time but the yardage difference and score to pat has not been changed. No indicators in tee tell you that there is a eighty yard distance difference between the actual and the scorecard. Fairways were spotty at best with little or no rough or grass. Doubt I would return as my partner didn’t care for the course either. Pace of play was also very very slow.

Great course

We loved this course, great layout, it's a real challenge, play a little slow but not horrible and once you play it you will come to understand why it's a little slow, certain holes hold up the course but they are the funnest/hardest holes. Will definitely be going back
