I took my 9 year old and the staff was amazing! Friendly, helpful and in such a good mood! Course is just difficult enough and the scenery and animals and birds were beautiful! I will go back!
Pleasantly suprised
The fairways and greens were perfect! We had a ball - the only problem was we were a two some following a foursome of older gentlemen. We skipped 4 holes and then made them up at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed the course. We played in the later afternoon (2:30 tee time) and finished in under 3 1/2 hours even though we followed the slower golfers for 4 holes. The elevation changes and water locations made for a very interesting round. Included is a picture from the 17th fairway. I hope you can see the elevation.
Interesting company
I booked my game through Golf Now and so had no Idea who my golf partners would be. Had a great time. Two of the golfers were suffering from leg or thigh issues but they still played great games of Golf and I never heard a complaint from anyone. The course was very busy and so it did take nearly 5 hours to complete the 18 holes.
Slowwww
Course in good shape! Crowd was terrible! Waited 20 min for a cart. Teed off 30 min late. Back nine the had 3 open holes in front of the group in front of us. No Marshall anywhere! 5 hour round. I won't be back till season is over!
Scary
Not scary hard, but safety scary. Small acreage for 18 holes. Multiple chances to hit someone or get hit. 10,11, and 13 have same cart path around a lake. Good news was elevations changes and different hole designs - not all straight. Had a 11:19 tee time. Showed up at 10:45 and there were 6-8 groups on the tee waiting to play. Part of the problem was the 7 min tee time separation. My group was allowed to go to 10, so we played 9 holes. When we got off 18, there were still multiple groups on 1 tee. Unless you live right there, I would not recommend this course.
Nice Course
Enjoyed the course as it was in good shape for the February time. Good layout.
Unexpected Experience
This was the first time my wife and I have played this course. We kinda steered clear of this course due to a recommendation of a full time resident in the area. We really enjoyed the round despite being told we could not walk, even thought we can keep pace with the best of them. The pro shop guy told us they don’t allow walking due to safety reasons. The cart guy said they do allow walkers after 1 PM, I guess they don’t “care” about safety after 1 PM. The fairways and greens were in great shape, although most of the fairways are pretty narrow. There are a lot of blind shots and if it’s your first time playing here, it would have been nice for the tee box signs to give yardage to the blind hazards. We really look forward to playing here again, now that we know the layout. This course would be hard to beat for the green fees we paid. We booked a Hot Deal on GolfNow.
Good Layout - fair condition
Good place to practice your game. Got a Golf Now Hot Deal for $10 so couldn't pass it up. Move the ball around, practice your shots, don't worry about a score and just have fun. Good layout - fair conditions.
Challenging fairways
One thing I noticed is that on several holes you cannot see how far ahead the group in front is. Also some fairway had quite a slope left or right so was easy for the ball to roll off even though you hit a straight shot. Greens were in good shape as well as fairways.
Always waiting
Tee times were 11:40 didn't get out until 12:15 because they said they were a little behind This seems to be the case all the time at this course. Pace was extremely slow. By the time I reached the 11th tee it was a little after 3 pm.. We quit and didn't finish. I won't play this course again in the winter season. The summer when everyone has gone north and it's hot...Maybe
Some good and some bad
Some of the fairways are too close together on this course. its just too cramped in, and a bit dangerous. I do like the elevation changes and lots of big oak trees. We found the greens not in good shape. They had some well problems earlier and maybe that caused part of the problem on the greens. The fairways are good, especially considering all the shade from the oak trees. Overall, this course is a good change of pace from most of the flat courses in our area.
Very Friendly
Tees and greens in good shape
Course is overseeded
Happy Staff and gate lady is funny
Good Golf
The course is extremely tight especially if you have a slice or hook. At worst you end up in another fairway. The course has no houses to hit and that is a BIG plus. Fairways are green but the greens are shaggy.
