Greens in good shape

The greens were in very good condition. Smooth rolling without being too fast.

On a side note, one side of the driving range has fallen into the 18th fairway. It must have blown over in one of the many recent wind storms.

Not up to par

Unfortunately this course just isn’t up to par since the new management take over . The pro shop is practically empty. No waters,soda, coffee or alcohol options. To make things worse when we went to call in our breakfast order at home 8th hole the guy told us “sorry I can’t place an order I have no way to tell them” and “ it’s only 11 they just opened and probably aren’t ready for your order “ I guess they just don’t need the business. It’s ok me and my buddies play about once a week and we can take our $$ and play else where. It’s unfortunate because we used to really enjoy coming here. Smh

Solid Exec

Solid course.. has a couple fun holes to play. Get to use driver a few times. Pretty well maintained. If you don't have enough time to play a large course this one will fill in just fine.

Below Average course

This course was below average. This is a beginner course with lots of Par3. The back 9 was much more fun then the front 9. The fairways were in ok shape and the greens were pretty beaten up. The course did not have a lot of trash cans at different holes nor did it have any water to wash your balls either. I paid $21 for this course and it’s definitely not a $20 course. This is a $8-12 course. On the plus side if your looking to just mess around drink beers and golf with friends then this is the course. And there were 3-4 restrooms throughout the course, first time seeing that.

It's ok course and short.

Pretty short. I didn't bother to check the total score for the par play but it's 65-68. Lots of par 3s. Pretty easy. Hard to lose balls. I had 7 straight pars in back 9 which never happens to me. Well I hit better than the other times but still pretty easy.

66 dollars including cart is pretty expensive for the quality of course. Granted Sunday morning when things are more costly than usual.

Nice course but SLOW pace

I would give this course 4 stars if it didn't take 4.5 hours to play it (it's an executive course so 18 holes should not take nearly that long). I had a tee time and the pro shop let a twosome just jump right in between me and the group in front of me. Was slow all around. Course is in pretty good shape from tee box to green. There doesn't seem to be a dress code enforced if that bothers you. Would recommend as long as there's not a major backup.

Great executive layout

Probably the best executive course in the region with great continuity. Water features come into play on several holes. Greens were in great shape, fairways a little beat up but with the summer heat I would expect it. Got a hot deal price through golfnow that could not be beat
