Fun track!

I have played here 50+ times in the past 10 years. Great track to work on your wedges/shorter irons and always in great shape. Due to covid-19 course is lacking on maintenance, which is understandable. Greens are very slow and rough/fairway is very long compared to their usual standards.

Just happy to golf

I hate to say anything negative because I'm sure the place was restricted maintenance wise considering the circumstances. But, the greens were horrid... Hoping during normal times that isn't the case.

This isn't a course that I'd normally play because it's so short but it was one of the first to open. To be fair I don't want to beat the course up based on what I would like personally but, instead focus more on who the course would benefit. For seniors or high handicappers I would imagine this is a fun course to go play and gain confidence.

Greens extremely Slow

First time playing here. Layout was good. Due to COVID-19 no flagsticks so it was hard to tell where the pin locations were. Greens were super slow. Scale of 1-10 I’d give the green apples a 1. Didn’t seemed like they mowed the greens in the past few weeks. Would play here again once they trim the greens and have flagsticks back in place.

Ripped off by Golfnow

The course was closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Golfnow didn't let me cancel the tee time online and didn't answer their customer service line. Rip off!

A course fit for walking and learning.

Got there Friday morning. The staff were friendly specifically the man that work with the golf carts. Our starter was very funny. He said he has a lot of jokes. This is our first time to play this course so we rented a cart. Next time I am walking. This is course made for people like me that are hesitant to walk a 6000×/_ yard course. Though the greens aren't that great this course is great for improving your stamina, short game, and putting.

Nice "LITTLE" Course

This is a nice course, but the holes are predominantly par 3's with a couple par 4. That being said, the layout is nice and course is generally in good condition. Greens are fairly new bentgrass with some poa starting to show up.

Long hitters can leave their drivers at home.

The practice range is nice with mats. Good burgers and beer in the open air dining area and bar.

A GOOD Course to practice your short iron and wedge shots and putting.

Beautiful non-crowded course

If you want to play a challenging, beautifully kept course of 18 holes in around 3 hours this is your course. Water, sand, par 4’s scattered in. Course is very well kept. Easy and close parking.

Nice Friday Morning

Teed off at 11:30am. Was able to play solo (which I love!). Tee boxes were in decent shape, fairways were OK, greens were so-so. I got a great rate ($19 w/ cart) so I am not going to complain. Nineteenth hole was nice, looked like it was remodeled recently. Indoor/outdoor seating. Big TVs, clean tables and floor, friendly wait staff and good turkey sandwhich. You can play corn hole if you want to outside.

I will play again if I can get that rate.

Don't play on Saturdays

We were a two some and while it was nice to not play with anyone else this is the reason for a 5 hour round at an executive course. They allowed a single to play in front of us but he joined the twosome ahead of him after four holes. There was a foursome ahead of them that would play upwards of three shots per person on every tee box. If I wasn't playing with my adult son who I don't see that often the wait would've made made the day unbearable. Oh and the course was kinda soggy.

Grounds keeping needs rescue

Fairways are in desperate need of care. Aprons around greens are bare. Greens getting seriously rough to the point where it’s not the quality of the putt but the luck of the line that will let you sink a putt. This course could be amazing with super cool facilities but they don’t respect the course/grounds and so the players don’t either. Sand traps are bore like gravel Pitts and I won’t ruin my clubs playing out of them. Sweep the sidewalks, care for the course, hire a good chef and wait staff and this place could be incredible. Cusp of greatness but falling farther and farther from the goal.
