Nice little course

Very friendly staff. A nice little course. Needs a little grooming and some water. It was very dry. Good value.

Thanks

Hidden gem!

Perfect location, great course, good value. Aquatic driving range an added bonus. Our group had varying levels of skill yet we all enjoyed challenging play. Overall 5 stars from me

Old and neglected

Read reviews and knew we were in for a mixed bag. Course itself is interesting but front is in terrible shape and shorter back nine is downright dangerous. Greens were decent. Won’t return.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Very Challenging

I play this course several times a week Jan- May.

I enjoy the course and the challenge. We play early in the morning and find the pace of play excellent. The greens are quick and true. The course is not long but is fun to play.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

I highly recommend this course.
