Hidden Gem

I love playing this course. Greens are never the same. The only issue is the same with all the other courses, last few storms that came through did some damage so there is clean up going on. The clean-up doesn't impact the playablity of the course. All in all it's an excellent place to play.

Be careful of locals

1st time playing course. On the 6th hole one of our players hit a ball in the direction of the foursome in front of us. A large African American male started swearing at us and threaten to "kick our butt". When we approached the man, he continued his verbal assaults on us. The worst part about it we had a 10-year kid and his mother playing behind us an heard this man continue to insult us, purposely ball slow and not ring the bells on 7 and 8 to let us know the fairway was cleared. We left after 9 holes and got out of there.

Heads Up

It would’ve been nice to know ahead of time, that no carts were available due to weather conditions. And not find out at time of check in

The sand lot

Please fill the bunkers with real sand not gravel. This would be a major improvement to the course. The fairways and greens are in great shape. Keep up the good work.
