Great course for the price

This was our first time at this course and it was a great course for the money! The course was in great shape, we were not rushed, and even got a free drink. We will definately be back this winter!

Very slow. Overpriced for a small course.

Although the staff and amenities were very nice, the overall pace was slower than my 77 year old grandfather used to play. 4000 yards and it took a little over 4 hours with only 2 people. Probably won't go back. If you can drive 250 or more, don't go. There are so many short par 3s that I kept over shooting the Green with my pitching wedge. I never got to use my 3 wood or 5 wood because the par 5 was only 350. If you like short courses, you should love this course.

Great Greens!

The Greens are the tremendous.

A couple of fairways are growing back in but other than that, there is nothing to complain about.

The staff is always accommodating and very nice. This place has it all figured out.
