Average Golfee

Tee Boxes need to be Mowed Down to allow you a Good Tee Shot . Bunkers can be better irrigated (Lotsa rain week before) as well as Softer for better control of your Sand Shot.. Sand was Hard.. Greens were Fast

Wide open yet challenging course

This has been a great transition executive course for me after restarting golf in my later years. Perfect when I don't feel like playing a full regulation 18-hole course. Challenging with water and barancas. The scenery is beautiful, up against the mountain lots of trees and often clear blue skies. I've always been paired with very nice people. Negatives - Holes are not clearly marked, so if not familiar with course you can drive to the wrong hole. There are no yardage markers in the fairway! One of 2 bathrooms is always unavailable.. out of order or not enough staff. You cannot drive carts to parking lot to load/unload clubs. Looks and feels like they need to do a GoFundMed to get the place up to snuff. Besides all that, I always enjoy playing there.

Always fun

I've played this course for many years. Even though it is an executive course, it's always fun. Usually plays fast, and they keep it in good condition. Especially the greens. Nice people, good bar, for after your round.

Good for beginners

As we went the next day after some heavy rains, no carts were available to use. No biggy, but make sure to check with the course in similar situations. The layout of the course is really good. Green conditions are what you would expect on a city course. Tee boxes were terrible. Uncut and weedy. As a mid handicaper, I took a beginner out and it was perfect for them. The course that day was not crowded, but groups of beginners will slow play

We are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the course. As far as the refund goes, sounds like you prepaid for a Hot Deal on GolfNow. When this is the case, no money is paid to the pro-shop so there is no money that is owed back from the course. If you call GolfNow, they would be happy to rectify the situation. We hope this clears any confusion up and we hope you give us another try in the future.

I love coming here for the game and the scenery

My girlfriend and I really enjoy playing here. The course is not too long and challenging, but gives you allot of various shots throughout the course,

We had an issue with the cart 2 times this day, which was enjoying. We came to hole 7 and had to return for a new cart with batteries charged. Around hole 12, it started to blink again, but we were able to get through :-)

We will be back soon for a good time!

Often challenging executive course.

I really enjoy playing there and they have a lovely Women's club. However, I don't think the holes are at all well marked so it's easy to find yourself on the wrong hole till you go a few times! Also the clubhouse restrooms are often closed or not working. Also you're not allowed to drive your cart to parking lot to take clubs to car which is definitely a negative since is uphill to lot.

Fun, chill course

Great executive course, normally quiet here- but was unusually busy due to the holiday weekend. Challenging enough to be interesting but easy enough to play for this 2021 beginner golfer
