Fun course

If your looking for something different with rolling hills and some nice scenery then This a great little track. Course provides bottled water for you about every three holes an range balls are included in your greens fees. Good practice facility to warm up your game chip put drive etc only knock would be the club house small and a little expensive for canned beer an snacks.

superb greens

Great course. Pick your tee box and play your game. Played with 2 locals and only 3 putted once due to taking bad advice on the last hole. Complementary range balls and bottled water. Sand is not packed and i was able to get it within 6 feet all 3 times i landed in it. #10 par 4 is reachable with luck and conditions.

Awesome Layout

A spectacular course. Everything is in excellent shape. The rough is fair, not to hard to hit out of, but that is my problem for not hitting in the fairway.
