Nice executive course.

No fancy amenities here but the course was in good shape which is the most important thing. They desperately need hole number markers though for first time players! We skipped 2 holes by mistake.

Been a while since I played this course but it was as I remembered. Not real long but challenging with water hazards, ravines and challenging greens. Had fun!

The Tees are not marked. Extremely ease to get lost and not be on the correct Tee.

The course is not laid out well. It is extremely easy to get lost.Fortunately there were not many people on the course at the time because it was really hot and we were able to make up for the holes we missed on the front nine,

One saving grace is green maintenance but while course not worth it.

Tell management to better upkeep for the money paid or demand refunds

Cart needs to be returned by 7:45 otherwise heavy fines- super unfriendly.

Very forgiving course. Nice and quiet

Course is forgiving and very tranquil. Only complaint is that there are no numbers for tee boxes which is very confusing

Unless you look at the map on the score card you won't know what hole you're at.

Nice little Par 3/4 course 62

Staff is awesome. Course is well maintained. It’s short but fun. Only thing is the holes aren’t numbered or labeled which makes newcomers and even some second timers have difficulty following correct route. Love this course though.
