Fantastic staff won't make up a good golf course

The staff could not have been nicer. We had problems on the course and the staff resolved the problem promptly and more apologetic than expected but that didn't make up for the fact the golf course is in poor condition. If you want to play cheap golf and are not expecting much you will be satisfied here. Like I said, you can't find anywhere that welcomes you more.

terrible excuse for a golf course. bargain basement or just basement?

Worst course we've played this year and in the top 10 overall, ever.

note- It is regulation on front nine and executive on back with mostly all par 3's

not worth it even if $15 or 20

It’s all about fun

Fun, little golf course with friendly staff. Fairways are full and greens role fast and true. GPS golf carts with iced coolers. This course has a municipal feel. It’s not anything lavish but the course design is fun and competitive for all ages and handicaps.

Enjoyable Round of Golf at a Very Reasonable Price

This was my first time playing this course. After reading some of the reviews I was hesitant at first, but I decided to give it a shot. Needles to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The course was in good shape and the pace of play was very reasonable. As expected, this is a very short course with narrow fairways.. The only negative is that the back 9 is pretty much an executive course and severa holes can be dangerous. Twice we had golfers on the adjacent holes hitting into us as we were on the tee box of the next hole. All in all a fun day and thankfully no one got hurt.

Fun course!

Great course for a relaxing casual round. Greens are in great shape. Friendly staff and reasonable rates. Back nine is essentially an executive course.

Fun little executive course

My wife and I are from out of town and had a very enjoyable afternoon. Neither of us hit the ball very far. This course had a lot of interesting holes that were not super long. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Great day on a great little course.
