Played the day after Thanksgiving. The course was very busy but we were still able to play 18 holes in 4 hours. Layout is great course conditions were pretty good and the greens were in excellent shape. I have played the course in all seasons and conditions and would recommend the course to anyone looking for a good course at a great value.

It's in great shape!

A few courses near hear have gone really downhill recently but not this one. They're putting in work to keep it nice! I love the layout and had no complaints about the condition.

Lots of potential

I don’t know if they just built this course or if they are redoing it, but it was in fairly good shape for the shape that it’s in. They have plenty of sod and fresh sand ready to be installed or is being installed. Greens were in good shape. Once everything fills in, this will definitely be one of the nicer courses in the area. Don’t pay attention to anyone that is whining about this or that and nitpicking, it’s a fun course and layout. The staff was extremely friendly.

Fun course - cool and windy round

$36 GolfNow reservation - good value course

Interesting track - tee boxes pretty chewed up in spots - greens challenging - left many approach shots above the hole since it was the first time I played it

Take extra balls- if it goes into the woods it’s gone

Easy to get lost - signage on the last turn could be better - the course is way back in the sub

I’d play it again

Meh….

It was ok, nothing special. Lot of GUR, few areas with lots of trash and most holes were poorly cut.

dusty's take

What makes this course enjoyable is it's nature and limited housing around the course, which is changing. The improvement to the course of an added lake and additional sand traps on the front nine makes things a little more challenging and picturesque.

YOU NEED A COURSE RANGER

You need a course ranger to prevent 5 hour golf rounds. Played behind couples who needed more range time to avoid multiple lost balls on #10. Just couldn't watch the bad play any longer. Maybe a local rule "When you reach double pay score for any hole, pick up your ball, record double par score and move on to the next hole."

Course in good shape

For being late summer, course was in decent shape. Greens were pretty much healed from previous aeration and weed treatment. Over all nice course, and staff and restaurant are hard to beat.

No mention of being aeriation being done today. Teeoff should have mentioned this before allowing people to pay and then travel to get there only to find this out. .
