I had a great time. The course is in great shape; however, the layout is very confusing. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

The Longest Round of Your Life

The course itself is pretty well maintained and the layout isn’t bad but I promise you, the pace will make you hate this course.

Please trust this review when I say stay away from this course. This will be over a 6 hour round and you will wait on every single hole. The par 3s will have 3-4 groups WAITING to hit. You’ll be waiting over 30 minutes on the par 3s before you can even hit then have 3-4 groups watching you and rushing you.

I know this sounds like an exaggeration but it isn’t. They knowingly overbook the course and are really rude about it. They simply don’t care about your experience.
