Good layout enjoy playing this course

I like this course. It would be nice if they could improve conditions but the weather and lack of water probably make it difficult. Pace was fair for weekend golf about 4 1/2 hours.

It can get warm in the summer and the carts have no roof. Have to huddle under trees.

Great Potential

This course has an excellent layout with hole number 10 having a beautiful waterfall which the player has to carry with the drive from the white and blue tees. Improvements are need at a number of the tee boxes. Putting is challenging with slopes and undulating greens. There are some infestations on the greens that should be dealt with, but not major. The one major negative to me is the lack of a roof on the golf carts which then fails to provide both protection from the sun and an errant object/golf ball with the latter being a minimal concern due to the excellent course layout.

The staff is excellent led by Tracy who give lessons and excels at that and is exceptionally cordial and friendly to customers. Also Carson who works the front desk does a great job.

Channeling

I liked the course because of its expanse layout, why any OB. It is fair, did not see any green all sand but puts were accurate. Blind flag sticks, long holes and fun overall

Sandy greens no prior notice on hot deals 🤷🏽‍♂️

Pro shop didn’t notify golfnow-TeeOffabout greens being sanded but they weren’t only sanded literally about a quarter to a half inch of sand on them Could not even see the greens. And still charging regular fees. Pro shop employees were kinda rude . Won’t be back but thanks for beach ball golf

Appreciate the candid review. It’s unfortunate that the visit did not meet expectations, and we’re taking steps to address the issues. We hope there’s a chance to show a better experience next time.

Nice Public Course

Not a long course, but plays longer than the yardages indicate. Fun course definitely worth the playing. Not fancy just good local old school course. However, the sandwiches in the clubhouse are a ten! Definitely stop in and get something at the turn we’ll worth it!

Bunker Improvement

Bunkers require more sand fill, found a few bunkers were very hard surface with very little cushion to swing club through the ball.
