Not Great but Cheap

Probably worth playing once if you don’t mind other golfers snagging a few balls from you during play.

Zero respect for other players on the course.

Day was basically ruined by a group of 5, including two children, forcing myself and another single golfer to sit behind them all day. Took 2.5 hours to play nine as a solo I almost gave up.

A Nice Nine Hole Layout

Had a great day to play this course. Weather was perfect...warm and sunny. Course has some interesting holes, but is pretty much a "north-south" type course...like many midwestern courses. The fairways were a bit long...needed mowing as did the rough. Greens were soft but the ball rolled well. Cups could have been changed for the weekend golfers. Overall it was a good deal for the money we spent. Clubhouse gentleman was super nice and accomodating...a big asset to the course. A fun day golfing.
