Will never return!

Management at this course care more about putting money in their pockets than taking care of the course. For many years now, they refuse to keep the rough playable. Even the first cut was so high, you can barely find your ball let alone try to hit it. Have said before I would not play there again, definitely no more now. Bring a lot of balls with you, you'll need them. I will never recommend this course to anyone

Great time

Very nice course, greens in excellent shape. Fairways were.a bit long but it was a Monday morning round. Ranger came out at the turn and put us on the 3rd 9 to make sure pace of play stayed on time. Overall I would recommend this course.

Over priced play

This is is very friendly for people who are just starting to play the game, tee box to fairways are pretty open and the greens are very inconsistent when it comes to the speed the ball rolls at. Over all 3.5 stars for the overall course and very friendly for beginners but pretty pricy for where you play.

Good Course in Good Condition

Overall, course was in good condition with smooth, fast greens. My only complaint was the depth of the first - and only - cut of the rough. It was ridiculously deep grass with no transition. Only other gripe was lack of water on the course on a fairly hot day. Have played this course many times and it's generally in good shape and a decent value.

Good go to course. Our normal course when we cannot get on another course at a reasonable time/price. Off season play is a bit iffy here. Mowing, leaves, and greens have been in less than desirable shape, but it is the off season. The rough here is brutal for distance and finding your ball, you have to be right on top of it to find it.
