Strategy course

Course layout was good. A lot of water. Sand traps not in real good shape. I really like how the course required finesse. Maybe only used my driver 4-5 times on 18 holes. Very reasonably priced.

Water every where/ sand for greens

The water hazard amount for this course is extremely high. The layout of this course is very confusing and difficult to know where to go next. The greens were all sand and couldn’t figure out where my ball marks were. I was disappointed in this course over all.

Fun course but slightly confusing

A short course that has great scenery even in the middle of the city. Layout of the holes was confusing and I got lost a couple of times but everything else was fantastic, will definitely be back.

Great would go again

This course is very good for the money, the greens where a bit on the slow side but it was hard to find a bad spot of fairway,great layout but it is very easy to get lost if it is your first time.

Good Shape - Very Busy

We just got past two solid weeks of rain. The course has finally dried out enough to be good again. The greens have recovered nicely and are in good shape.

I have two complaints: too many beginners were on the course. I realize we want everyone to play, especially on a public course...but it really made it difficult. I counted two groups of six - playing best ball with 3 to a team. If these were solid players it would have been ok playing superball...but they were really slow!

A second complaint I have is the computer-assisted carts. IF a hole is cart path only they should have the screen popup as you approach the tee and beep: Cart Path ONLY. It would allow us to get 20 feet off the cart path, then it would start beeping and going at a snail's pace. Very annoying.

Great Layout

Course is slowly coming around, but evidence of the Deep Freeze of February is still showing on the new greens. The course does have drainage issues on several holes, but it is still a fun layout. It’s a fun course to play with a great staff. Burgers are amazing!!

Such a shame

This could be a Texas treasure. First of all there is zero coordination, no starter, just get in line and wait. Second problem is you have no idea where to go, especially in hole number 12. Thank god for nice folks behind us and following folks in front.

Water is a huge problem. You hit a great tee shot and it plugs in a grass puddle. 15-17 are amazing holes.

The trash in creeks and all the marshlands is an embarrassment. The greens are bumpy and slow.

This course needs a new superintendent and club manager!!!!

Nice Municipal Course

I really enjoy playing this course. There's surprisingly quite a few water hazards to contend with but a fun course nonetheless.
