FUN COURSE

Fun as usual. Staff very friendly. Course got backed up towards the end, so it took about hour and fifteen to finish the last 4 holes. Still a fun place to play.

Fun Course little expensive

Enjoyed the course Staff very friendly. Only slight issue is the cost for par 3 course with a few par 4. Also the greens were a little bit of a mess. Lots of ball marks that now one seems to repair

Great course for beginners to intermediate

The greens look like they got blasted with an AK47, mainly the par 3’s.... but other than that, it wasn’t bad.

Great course for the price.

I love playing here because the course is in pretty good condition and the price is cheap. Sometimes on the weekend it gets backed up on the par 4’s. This particular time it took 4 hours and 20 min to finish the round, which isn’t great considering it’s a small par 3 course. It isn’t always like that though. I have played that course in 3 hours before.

It is well worth the price!

Fun time

Had a good time, easy to walk the course. Not a lot of hills, pretty flat. Start on hole 6 par 4.

If I had to complain, the two things is hole 1,2, 4,5 were all playing 80 yards today, so not a lot of club variety there to end the round. Sand bunkers were difficult to play out of, didn't feel like sand. Hard to adjust.

However, I played for around $20 walking, who can complain at that . It's a great course for beginners, and a great value for your buck. Definitely recommend for what it is, an executive course and a good way to spend a few hours practicing your game.

Great Day

The course is in pretty good condition, the greens are in great shape and the fairways were pretty good. They were packing the players on, we were waiting at least one group sometimes two groups per hole.

Only got 9 holes through 2.5 hours

This is a short course, thought I could get in a quick 18 in 2.5 hours but only got through 9. Pretty much says it all. Conditions are poor right now with the greens in probably the worst shape of any course I've ever played.outside of aeration periods.

Decent Round

You can play this course in 4 hours or maybe less on the weekend. It just depends what time you tee off. We had a 10:02, but actually got off a little early. They are trying to help pace of play by starting everyone on hole #6, the first par 4 on the front nine. Usually this is one of the holes that gets backed up on. We had a birthday group of a bunch of 8 year old kids. Yikes! Thankfully they only played nine. We finished our round under 4 hours. Very happy about that!

good beginner course

lots of beginners, casual players, or people just out for fun, so unless you go early expect to pace to be slow. the staff is nice and the price is very affordable. the fairways are pretty good, the greens are riddled with ball marks from players not fixing ball marks (refer back to first sentence)
