Great staff. Greeted by young gal at range and she was great. Course Marshall, Tito, was super friendly and very informative. We live in Columbia Missouri and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Great layout & scenery

Course was fun, beautiful, and very green. Loved the scenery around the course and driving through the terrain to get to next holes. Greens were a little bumpy but other than that extremely fun time.

Fantastic even after the monsoon that delayed us…

Great course! No drainage issues even after the deluge of the storm that hit right before our tee time. Can’t wait to get back!

Over priced for cart path only

The course was in great shape. The staff was alright the pro shop staff kinda snotty especially the Gail at the desk she thought she was high and mighty. The starter was nice. Way over priced for cart path only. The rates should be $25.00 lower due to cart path only which is BS. Should be 90 degree rule. Not cart path only. Come on folks get with being user friendly you’re screwing the customer. We’re not playing the PGA here.

Great course

I played right after over seeding so it was cart path only. The greens were a little slow but I attribute that to the maintenance. Great layout. Will definitely play again
