Course Highlights
The course layout delivers a striking contrast between an open, links-style front nine and a tighter, more challenging back nine. Consistently well-maintained conditions, friendly staff, and smooth pace of play make this course well worth the trip.

First Time Playing

Could have been a better experience

First time playing the course. Arrived 50 minutes early to take advantage of the driving range and putting. Upon checking in inside, the guy working the counter unapologetically told me they were still mowing the range, so it wasn’t usable. After chipping/putting for a bit, I noticed the mowing was done. Same guy seemed completely put off that I would ask to buy range balls again, and this time told me they hadn’t washed/brought any balls to the clubhouse yet.

As my foursome headed out to the first tee box, we were informed there we no tee box markers, as they had sent them all off to be painted. Well, surely they have done something to mark which tee box is which? Nope. All four of us had never played this course, which made each hole a guessing game on where to play from. Maybe in the future only paint half the markers at time? Use ground paint to mark the boxes?

Front 9 and back 9 nice feel like completely different courses. Not in a bad way. Tons of open fairways on the front, very tight and challenging on the back. Greens were in awesome shape and most of the tee boxes were also in great shape(minus the absent markers). A couple fairways needed some work, and the bunkers looked like they hadn’t been raked in several days.

Would I go back? Maybe on a HotDeal that is too good to pass up. Hopefully if I do, I encounter a more pleasant guy working the counter.

A Little Rough

This is my first time playing this course. The greens were in great condition. It had rained the night before, and on a lot of holes the fairway didn't seem to be cut. This may have been a result of the rain, but it seemed like the fairways had not been cut in several days. I visited this course because of the many times I had seen it from the interstate. I'm not sure I will return.

Worth the drive

Great Course/Great Value

This is my go-to course. Pace of play is always the only downfall. Tee boxes are hit and miss, really hard. Otherwise, excellent “value for the money” course.
