Top Pick for a Public Course within 75 miles

Looks like a private course. Tees, fairways, bunkers and greens were in very good condition. It does show some heat stress and winter kill but they are watering and applying treatment to keep well above average conditions. Greens were receptive (some ball marking) instead of bouncing thru. A beverage cart was roaming around as well as course workers. Grassy areas bordering hazards were left at reasonable length to stop mid speed balls from watery penalty but not too thick to hit out of. Food looks good. Hot grill to make some grub. This course has no private residences. It's untouchable within an hour drive.

What a GEM to play

Wow, is what I said after the 1st 2-3 holes. Course was in great condition. Tee to green. So much fun to play. It makes you think your way around the course. Fairways are open and Zoysia. You have uphill tee shots, downhill tee shots, side hill lies, sloped, rolling fairways. Greens were good pace and rolled smooth. Ladies in the Pro Shop are super nice. Jessica was in the afternoon and could not have been any nicer. The young lady in the morning was equally as nice. You can tell they want to make sure your golf experience is excellent. MJ the golf Director is very nice also. She wants every golfer to feel welcome and has a very good experience. So many holes to mention but 9 and 18 are picturesque! Looking forwarding to playing there again soon! Thanks again for the hospitality. Also, caught up with 2 members who ask me to join the last 6 holes. Tony and Kinnette were very nice and friendly.

Great Golf Course

This course is in great shape. Fairways are well maintained. Greens are very nice. Not super-fast but they still roll true. They slowed down a good bit on the final six holes due to watering. Extreme drought explains the need to water. This course is a lot of fun to play.

6 hour round

Got to the first tee box on time. There was a group on the green, in the fairway, and on the tee box. Should have just left then. Took an hour to play the first two holes. A “ranger” showed up on the fifth hole and said they would get the problem fixed. That did not happen. The whole round took 6 hours

Amazing Course

Had an amazing time on this course, really fun track with fantastic staff. My only gripe was that there was a group of 9, yes 5 carts on a single hole, 2 groups in front of us that didn’t seem to want to break up which made the round longer than expected. There was a group behind us on every tee box, they were walking with the group behind them finishing each hole just as we were teeing off. Staff did come out to talk to them but by 2 holes later they were back to it. Besides that will definitely be coming back

Hilly, Tough Course

The staff were welcoming and my wife and I a nice lunch. Practice facilty was excellent, and the course conditions were very good considering mid-spring. The greens especially were in great shape. However, we were not prepared for the very tough layout in terms of hills and many blind tee shots. So perhaps a better golfer than me would give this course a higher rating, but I could not recommend it for my friends with mid-level handicaps

Weird and douchey, very slow and unorganized

Course has matured nicely. Too bad about the unorganized operations and extra douchebag regulars.
