Nice layout
This course has a nice layout. It gets a lot of play so pace can be a challenge. Was not impressed with the conditions… tee boxes/fairways/greens. The price was right but not sure I would play again until the conditions improve

Course is In awful shape. If anyone writes a good review about this course you are NOT a golfer. Such a shame because it has been and could be a real nice place.. Practice facility is very nice. People who work there are nice as well. Tee boxes are poor fairways are bad. greens are awful. They have pretty much lost the course with the condition it is in. Sounds like a lot of excuses when you ask why. Overall very poorly managed with an absentee owner and a Superintendent out with a bad back.
Save you $55 and play somewhere else. There is no way anyone being honest bean say that the course is in anything but horrible shape. Sorry because I’ve always enjoyed playing there but for now I’ll stay away until they figure it out
I play here 6 days a week - Superintendent Phil doesn't have a bad back -

Nice course
Was impressed with this course. It was first time playing; The layout was nice and could set your challenge based on tee played. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was not a great day [low 60's with wind] but we made it work. I would play here again.

Good Round
Course is in pretty good shape with exception of a few greens. Greens at tricky on a good day but a few had done Sandy bare spots. Back nine very female friendly.

Not perfect but nice.
The course is nice overall and I would play it again. It get lots of play and is worn a little in the fairways and around the greens. But the ball rolls good on the greens and is a fun course to play.

Play was very slow. Food service was understaffed and very slow. Ranger was out and did nothing.
