Good Greens but Slow Play

Always count on at least 5 hours when playing any weekend. I still enjoy this course. The greens are fast for a muni course. A good challenge.

Fun shorter course

The course is always fun because of its shorter side, but offers a challenge with trees along the fairways at times. Pace of play is always an issue since there are trees along the fairway.

Fun but challenging and quirky.

Played on a Friday morning as a twosome. Used the driving range, which is grass but mostly dirt. Putting green was good. Course was in good condition, no complaints at the price point. Played from the white tees. 230 yard par 3 on 11 (tees were back from normal) and 219 yard par 3 on 17 are pretty long from the white tees on any course, especially with no elevation advantage. Some long par 4's as well, like the 458 par 4 3rd, which would be a par 5 at most munis. Staff were fabulous, from the cashier/starter to the cart/range guy and the girls at the grill. Food was good as well, and not overpriced like a lot of courses. I don't live in the area, played it on the way from SoCal to NoCal, but would definitely play again if I lived there.

Great first time golfing.

My gf and I went and neither of us are very good. Pace was perfect. Hit the grill after the 9th and the food was delicious. Staff is friendly and helpful. Lots of practice areas and a pretty nice driving range. Will definitely go again.

Really slow 5 hour round

Had to wait on most every shot all day.The clubhouse lets groups of 5 somes out on the course and were 1 plus holes behind the groups ahead of them. Found out they were their men’s club and didn’t let any groups pass them.
