Fantastic

have played a few times over years but course was always rough/poor. Several years a go new management took over, but still not much improvement.

Saw it advertised as new management and went to scout out and found out someone else took over as new owner last year. Looked good so booked a round with my wife.

BIG improvement. All areas cleaned up, new tee boxes and much improved greens. Great course for a quick game.

We were behind 2 very slow foursomes, but 3 of our twosomes following skipped ahead (1 quit) and then a great pace of play. Need marshall out?

This course was just OK. My wife and I played it because it seemed that she would like it since it was very short. 12 par 4’s and 6 par 3’s.

Friendly warm up

Short par 66 course which is fairly open with just a few water features. Good course to play if you have not been active and before going out to one of the premier courses. They usually have a full schedule with the hot deals but play moves at a good pace. The shortness is complimented by the greens that seem to be true and sloped to make it a bit more challenging. Always a nice game with friendly folks.

(NOT ABLE TO USE GOLF NOW PRO MO CODES ) SERIOUS CONCERN WITH GOLF NOW

Course over all is improving ...needs marshaling to improve the course pace

Golfers need to repair their divots and have respect for the new owner improvements he has made. good things are happening their ( GOLFERS ARE VERY DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS THE COURSE).

Course was dry, firm but very windy!! Play was great, one group let me play through and I jump another group on 10 and played that hole after I finished 18.

Round was relaxed and staff was great as usual!!

Excellent customer service!

My son and I had the opportunity to play here on February 22. I had booked via GolfNow and made two 18 hole reservations with cart. We were on vacation so I was just happy to play with my 13 year old. When we checked in, the staff let me know that under 15 usually plays for free. I said it was no big deal to me since I booked for two people and didn't want to book via GolfNow for a single player. Regardless, the staff insisted that the refund me. This was entirely not necessary, but greatly appreciated. In fact, they suggested I come in during the turn for them to do it. The new owner was there at that time and he was incredibly nice. He said it was important that young kids learn golf and was happy to refund the greens fee. If I could give them six stars for customer service, I would.

On to the course, this is a short, par 66 course with no par 5s. It was a perfect place to play for me and my son. He doesn't play much and is learning and this is a very forgiving course. For most, you'll leave your driver in the bag, but it was nice to have a quick, fun round. Plus the golf carts were brand spanking new! I would definitely play here again.

Hidden Challenges

A very old and dated course tucked away amid also old but well maintained residences. It is more than an executive course but with no par fives and many short par fours it brings one's short irons into play quite often. There are many hidden small but in play water hazards which without prior knowledge will add to one's score in a hurry, a second time around should eliminate this problem. Overall the fairways and greens are in fair to good condition and though there is much water, we didn't see one sand trap on the entire course.

SLOW!!!!!

New owners have been successfully marketing and the course is now busy. Pace of okay is extremely slow. Need Marshall to move folks along.. I always enjoyed course because you could get into a rhythm, this is not the case any longer......it’s hit and sit!! Pack a snack for the down time. Check your stocks!! Par 66 course took over 3 hours to play.

Course condition continues to improve!!

I think this course will become a senior league location in the years ahead. Good money but limits those who want to get in a consistent and flowing round.

Nice little course

Played here many times. The course has new owners that have improved it 100%. Its a good course for seniors or players that cannot handle long yardage holes. I dont think high level golfers would find it a challenge. Good little course for me to play in addition to the long courses
