Hi Waldog41,
Thank you for the review, we hope to have you back for a return visit in the near future!
Not bad
We were the first group out so it wasn't too hot and we played in 3 hrs 40 minutes. Course was in decent condition. Was surprised by how many ball marks were left unfixed on the greens. Usually you just see that on cheap muni courses.
Hello burnzieazgolf,
Thank you for the reply and feedback. Great to hear of the pace of play and course conditions. We hope to see you back in the near future!
Round at 4:45 pm
Had a very nice round although there was a group in front of me that had 2 of the foursome that was learning the game. Think it’s great that new people are getting involved in the sport but they were hitting sometimes 3 balls off the tee, and multiple balls in the fairway. I was eventually able to play through but it would be helpful to have someone from the course drive through maybe once per round.
Thank you for your review and feedback. Our apologies if you did not see a player assistant on the course as pace of play is very important to us. We hope to see you back in the near future!
Thank you for your review, we look forward to having you back soon!
Thank you for the 5 star review! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Enjoyed
No complaints, course was in very solid shape, nearly all tee boxes and Greens were great. Pro shop, on course, and restaurant staff were friendly and welcoming.
Thank you for the review and feedback, wonderful to hear our team provided a great experience. We hope to have you back again soon!
Greens were In great shape. Fairways had some burnt areas which is expected this time of year. They need to do a better job with water stations on the course in the summer.
Thank you for the review and feedback. We will take a look at the water stations and ensure availability!
Beautiful condition
Good condition, little slow on the golf speed and all the water on the course was empty other then that great course.
Thank you for the 5 star review! We look forward to welcoming you back soon and appreciate the feedback regarding water.
Great to see your 5 star review! We hope to see you again soon.
Thank you for the 5 star review, we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Well Maintained Course
Pace of play and course conditions were great! I went out by myself and they made me share a cart with another person, which I didn’t love since it sure seemed like they had plenty available. They also only give you about 10 balls to hit at the range. For the price I have mixed feelings taking all that into consideration.
Thank you for the review and feedback. Wonderful to hear the pace of play and course conditions were great.
Warm up bags are roughly 20 balls and carts are based on availability. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Thank you for the review. We look forward to turning 4 stars to 5 on your next visit!

Overall good
I didn't feel ripped off and I paid $120. Course was in good shape. Played really early on a weekday so it was a quick pace. Bunkers were tough to get out of. I hate all bunkers.
