Terrific course for the price.

Fast, firm greens. Tee boxes are pretty rough in some places but overall the course is in great shape. Friendly staff overall just a great value.

Had a big problem the day we played. They had a scramble. Looked like a foursome on all 18 holes. We played 9 holes and took 3 hours. We left after 9 holes. Should never had tee times that day.

Ed Oliver 1st out 2021

This place has been doing some course refreshing based on my last time here. It looks great. We were the 1st “group” out besides the two guys that had their pushcarts loaded and out before sunrise. We never got close to these guys and we had carts.

I saw that they had opened up some locations but some of the trees could have been trimmed back to allow for simpler shots at the green.

After the round, we went to the restaurant and had breakfast. Our server was so nice. Food was great and quickly prepared. We’ll definitely be back in the summer.

Waste of time and money

IF you have 5 1/2 to 6 hrs and $55 to waste, then yes go ahead and play here. Ran out of carts. Had to wait 10-15 mins for every shot. The course is not in great condition and the staff was no help at all.. The lady in the bar area was great though.. I would go 1/2 stars if possible.
