Great course!

A fun course for learning, however 1 group that was learning caused a massive backup and were not letting people play through. We had to skip a hole because they were taking 30 minutes per hike doing instructions. After we passed them the day was enjoyable. I’m not so sure tee times and course play speed is enforced so beware of your time if you play here

Good time

Had a great day with my two sons. We are not avid golfer so this course met our needs. Good price for cart and golf. Course conditions are not great but now poor either. Had a good day.

Save your Money

This course is not for golfers. It;s for golf beginners, and even then, there's better choices. This is little more than a field with 12 pins spread around a field. It's hard to distinguish between the fairways and the greens, Strange layout with balls flying in all different directions. . On a positive note, it does have a nice clubhouse and friendly staff. It's hard to believe that anyone actually wrote a good review about this course. Hopefully my honest review will save you a few bucks. If you know how to play the game and want to enjoy a round of golf, go elsewhere.

Owner swearing

Decent course all things considering with Covid and the delays in the season. Good value for your money.

But had a HORRIBLE experience on the 12th hole....looking for partners ball and the owner drives up to us and starts swearing and yelling at us about driving off the trail....which was not marked ....I will not be back. The owner would not even apologize, even the staff said he was WAY out of line.

Great Course!

One of the best courses I’ve been too, the staff are super friendly and the course layout isn’t that hard to follow. My only complaint the greens are a little slow but other than that I’d recommend this course to anyone!

Poor layout and use of course

There are big holes on course that someone could break their leg, if they don’t watch where they are walking, even with a cart there was a few holes on the course that would have gone the tire stuck in it. Poor layout compared to previous owners, greens are cut so short that they are brown and grass on some fairways needs work. Disappointed!

In transition

The course is changing to a 12 hole course, which is fine, but it is difficult to find the next hole, the greens are terrible and the grass on the fairway is so long you could not find your ball, if it was just off the fairway. It might be a good course, someday.

Decent little track

A reasonably decent fun little course, some intriguing holes. greens are somewhat in rough shape and very slow, more like what you expect to see in early spring. However played the 12 holes in 3 hours. Bottom line you get what you pay for, I had no complaints other than the speed of the greens.

Rough Shape

Course is still under major revamp as it changes over from an 18 hole to a 12 hole layout. Lots of evidence of construction work still to be done. Traps not operating. Signage lacking and or confusing on the course.

Course is only of interest to players New to the game or Juniors under age 12.

Greens are sub standard in all aspects.

I recommend going to a driving range vs playing here if you want to hit balls.

New 12

First Time playing the redone course. As it was a hot day 12 holes was enough. Generally, I like it but the fairways are rather rough to get around in a cart and some digging that has been going on is unfinished around the course
