Beautiful and challenging

Absolutely beautiful course for the region. It has everything you want from long fairways to tight isolated by water par 3s. Friendly staff, friendly patrons and well maintained course. I am thrilled to go back again.

Good Value

Purchased the 2 for 1 deal last winter. At that price it is good value. The location is good for my situation.

The course layout is fine. My major complaint is the tee boxes.

They need some maintenance.

Hidden Gem

Fantastic views off the tees, very well kept throughout the entire course! Tee to green was in fantastic shape! Challenging for the yardage, but fair enough to enjoy! Will definitely play again!

Arris’s Valley

A lot of blind tee shots and approach shots into very oversized greens that have a lot of undulating features.

This course appears to have been built as a members course and it requires a lot of local knowledge in order to play it well. You will lose alot of balls because you are hitting off a tee not knowing what hazards or bunkers are just off the fairway. You need to keep the tee shot in the fairway and understand where to put your ball on the green. They could save a lot of money in maintenance if they reduced a lot of the greens by 60%. Public players want courses that are fun to play and have no hidden tricks or slopes. As far as the current course conditions you can tell that they are struggling to make ends meet.

Make the course more fun to play and more golfers will pay green fees, buy food and drinks. More information needs to be posted on the tee about how the hole is to be played successfully.
