Fun Round

Enjoyed the round. Course was in good shape. Would have appreciated water in the ball washers. Also a beverage cart would be nice as the Gatorade ran out at hole 6.

Great par 3

My boyfriend and I enjoyed this course and found it more difficult than you may assume for par 3. There’s quite a few sand and water traps. The course itself is in spectacular shape and the staff are friendly. My only suggestion for this course is there needs to be better signage on the course for direction to each hole.

A great place to have a round in an hour and half!

Gem of a course

This par 3 provides challenge and convenience. You need to think your way around the course.. this is definitely not a pitch and putt
