Very good course

This is a good course - the greens were fast. The course itself was good. The golf course needs to work on their driving range and practice greens. But overall good value for money.

First time on the Course

Great time on this course today. The fairways are tight but are in great shape. The starter was very friendly and my playing partners were very helpful in me navigating through the course. The course isn’t the longest and the layout isn’t the most difficult, but the rough will punish you for wayward shots. Greens were super slick but rolled true; it felt like putting on glass. The only negative is that the bunkers are more like dirt than sand. Would definitely play this course if you haven’t given it a try yet.

Great course

This place has 27 holes. I played there on Father’s Day with my wife and 11-year-old daughter. We teed off at 7 AM without any pressure from behind. Everybody was kind and friendly and the course was in great condition.

10th hole

We are in overall satisfied with the experience at the course we played for the first time.

After having played 9 holes each of Valley and Prairie,

we were ready to play10th hole, which is Prairie's 1st hole

but they make us wait and let a new group of players in front of us.

Usually we look forward to a speedy pace for the last 9 holes to

make it in time for dinner.

The pace was not too but after that fortunately.

I guess this is a problem of a golf course with 27 holes,

Let’s class it up a little bit gents

Time to get the gear back out; ball washers, trap rakes, sufficient trash cans. Don’t like seeing overgrown traps that have gone to rough. Not the intent or design of the course. Greens are in rough shape as well. Not certain I would play again in its current condition.
