Fantastic Greens, but the rest needs work.

Fantastic short course and lots of challenges.

Par 66 should be more like par 60.

Greens were in great shape, sadly the tee boxes and fairways were very poor. Thankfully you don’t need to play from too many fairways. Carts are the best in the area. We will play again here.

Well kept

The course is in great condition with great greens. Just wish the holes were longer so I can hit driver. Also most holes are dogleg right and I can only hit a draw or hook so that’s just a me problem.

Good

We didn’t know what to expect since this was the first time playing. We were late due to traffic and the guy at the pro shop was nice about it. Pretty much had the whole course to ourselves except for the last 3 holes. Greens were great but a little slow. I saw reviews where people were complaining about the fairways and tee boxes being in bad shape. We did see some fairways in bad shape but it didn’t affect play. Some of the tee boxes have been re-sod. We’ll definitely be back. We liked the track.

Well maintained short course

This has been a beautifully maintained golf course over the last 4 years I've been playing here. The course was in amazing condition and the carts were top tier. My biggest complaint about this course is the unusual layout that will show you all over the neighborhood. All in all I would highly recommend this course.
