If you liked the silver course before, you'll love it now.
Hole number 10 is now number 1.
The back nine is now the front none.
Changing hole 3 (formerly 12) to a 437 yard par 4 is terrific, and it makes the course a par 72 without effecting the course rating.
The new tee boxes will be great once the grass is able to be cut to proper tee box length.
And hole number 9 (formerly 18) is better as a turn hole than the last hole. Takes the sting out of making a bogey, and makes the new 18th hole a par 5.

Pace of play was painful
It took two and a half hours to play the front nine on the silver course. There was no starter, and the threesome in front of us had two bags one one cart, and none on the other. Thankfully, the pro shop let us switch over to the gold course for our second nine.
Terribly Slow Play
Fun course with challenging hole layouts. But our round took 5 hours and 30 minutes. Not sure if the course is over booking, but the starter wasn't on the first teebox, and we tee'd off 15 minutes later than when we were supposed to.
Trash
Terrible course for a number of reasons;
- didn’t give me the price I paid for on the app
- overcrowded golf course had to wait 20 minutes every hole
- confusing layout without any maps or course layout, no direction of holes
- clubhouse workers were rude and dismissive
- course under construction so dust flying everywhere and at one point I had to climb a dirt mound to get to the tee box
- got through 8 holes in 3.5 hrs with two people
Wouldn’t recommend, looks nothing like pictures, would give zero stars but can't.
Normal course
There is quite a bit of construction. They don't have a pro shop. You check in aside of the bar.... the food selection is way below average. All of the roads and cart paths are gravel. It's an average country type course. That said, the course was fun and the people, nice. You wont be disappointed.
Nice round of golf
Greens were a bit slow, but very good condition. Tee boxes a little beat up, but usable. Fairways and rough cut as expected, good condition
Silver
Very dust in dirt parking lot. Play was extremely slow - 5 hour round.
Construction
Should let people know this is under construction, especially when they have a different 18 hole course to play , I feel like it should cost less than the other 18, and should come with a simple heads up. I feel like when all the construction is complete this whole course is gonna be beautiful.
Poor course conditions across the board
Overall, not worth the money for what we paid, plays like a municipal 9 hole
1. No definition in tee boxes
2. Tee boxes all were littered with divots
3. Fairways in decent condition
4. Rough was rock hard, could get an extra 30 yards onto the next hole on a sliced drive
5. Approach areas were rock hard, shot 30 yards short could roll on the green
6. Greens were extremely inconsistent, some slow and soft, some hard and very fast
Great course
It's a great course, currently under construction so I'm sure it will look better. Did feel slightly rushed and when I checked in the lady was slightly rude
Under construction
Like every course in the metro, they took down alot of trees. On the plus side they added new electric carts, soon to be beautiful wedding venue and an already great staff and bar. They are currently finishing up construction and re arranged holes. Silver has a temporary pin in untill the green and the grass around it is playable. Near the clubhouse is a few adjustments around the construction. Overall it's a great place, the course needs this year to get finished up.
