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

Enjoyable Day of Golf

First time playing the course. Greeted by staff and helped us to check in. Golf carts were spotless! Some challenging holes making for decision shot making. Greens were fast and some tricky breaks.

Definitely going back. Good value for winter golf in this area. Most importantly, they make you feel welcome.

Getting better

Course is improving each time I play!! Drainage is being addressed and I’ve noticed a marked improvement. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are also improved especially with their grooming. Course is starting to look much better and inviting. Trees are being pruned or removed, brush is getting cut back, not so wild looking. Hoping the course continues to improve. Also, club house is being renovated with larger kitchen area, new seating and a new paint job.

A hidden gem

Apparently this course has been around for years and has had its ups and downs. A new young owner has recently bought it and already, from what I understand, has made many improvements and plans many more. Although classed as an "Executive Course" it provides its share of challenges. Water comes into play on several holes. The greens are in good condition. The fairways are Ok. The day we played the front 9 was pretty wet and was cart path only. We enjoyed playing here and will do so again. The rates are affordable and a good value.

Much improvement since last year

I always like playing this course. There is enough of a challenge to keep one interested and usually the round can be played in 3 hours or less. With the improved conditions it is more fun. And they have a great practice range with no mats. Great value for money.
