Close, convenient and fun course!

Two of us decided to take advantage of a TeeOff coupon and played the course. We enjoyed our round and the diversity of the front nine holes. The back nine only provided two par fours with the rest being par threes but decided we’d play the course again to strengthen our short game!

Tight links course. Wouldn’t want to walk it

Tight links course. Wouldn’t want to walk it. Fairways were in reasonable condition. Greens were rather small and some were too fast because of unrecognizable grass surface. Keep it in the fairway!

Beginner course

My wife wanted to learn how to play golf, so I took her here to learn the basics. Choose it because of cheap price and basically a par three course. Not a course anyone who knows how to play golf should go. The scary thing is most of the tee boxes are basically located in the path of the ball from the previous hole. You have new or poor players hitting the ball at your head.

I only used my driver once and reached the green on an easy swing on their longest listed par 4. Greens are small and in fair to poor condition. The rest of course, fairways, tee boxes, ruff are all poor.

As low end as expected, when i arrived at course dropped off clubs at rack and went inside to check in, only person in was behind bar, he came around to counter and checked me in. Gave me a cart key and told me I would be playing the back 9 twice. He was very friendly and helpful. He told me how to get to 10th tee box. You have to cross a dangerous road a few times. Don’t worry about golf attire or any golf etiquette, it doesn’t exist here.

Basically the old expression, you get what you pay for but many better choices for the regular cost. I had a hot deal.

Great little course

I didn't like having to cross a major street to play part of the back 9, then crossing again to finish. Tee boxes were in good shape and the greens were in good shape and fairly fast. I'm not a fan of residential course, but would play again. Wish they took cash in the clubhouse.
