A great place to learn and play

This course has become my personal spot. Not only to practice, but to work on shot type and selection. I’ve been an irons guy most my life only playing pitch and putt to start. This course lets you air it out as well as work on the chip shot that can frustrate all of us. I would like to see softer sand traps, I understand that right now that might not be the priority. Love this course and I will play again for sure.

Not bad

First time to play here , got paired with a friendly guy who knew the lay out well. Course and range were very clean and taken care of tee boxes were also in real good shape. The clubhouse was closed due to covid so there’s no food or drinks unless you want beer and Doritos which were stolen from the golf cart on the tenth tee by a crow lol .

Had a fun day will definitely return

Great course, poor attitude from elderly pro shop worker

We had a great time once we actually got on the course. The pro shop guy was rude and nasty towards us. Once we made the turn there was a different guy that was ok. Price is ok for the course. All par 4s and 3s.

Bombs away!

I enjoyed the course. Pretty short but really good for practicing the par 3’s and iron shots.

JoJo and the Asian guy in the pro shop were both super cool.

Thx, chris

Very disappointing

Poorly kept and pricey. Not going back. It was very bad. I’m not one to write reviews but for $55 that was hot garbage

Tuesday morning

Tee time 7am, 2some, nobody in site. Nice chilly day with nobody in front or behind us. Finished round in about 3 hrs. Thick grass if you're not landing on fairway. $45 w cart, wish it was cheaper.

50$ and all I got was a double bogey

Booked the course because it looked nice for the price. The price was higher than the app made me believe. Lost a ton of balls not because I shanked them but because the rough is so overgrown I couldn’t find my neon pink balls in the grass. I’m not great at golf but my friend who is had the same experience. For 50$ this course is really bad, I’ll not be back.
