Rain good

It had rained the day before or morning a bit, I don’t recall. But I had a one pm time and finished just before five on a Sunday! That’s unheard of. This is in part to only walkers being on the course and some cognizant of pace of play. Granted we still waited on half the holes for the group in front but no carts kept many players away. Wish this was the case more often.

First Time Playing

First time here.

First time playing here after finding it on a Golf Now deal. Relatively flat and wide course. Greens are smallish to increase the difficulty a bit, but rolling nice. Played with 3 random, but friendly players. It’s a 30min without traffic drive for me, so I’d play here again, but it wouldn’t be tops on my list. Decent muni to get your golf fix. Worse part was the slow pace, finished the round in 4:45 on a Thursday starting at 10:30am, which was a bit surprising.

Average golfer on average course

Course is good for the money. Difficult to get on though. . Staff barely speaks to a certain kind of person but carries on full conversations with others who “look the part” holding up the line at times.. hole 3 has been under construction for over two weeks and food cart is as down.. so at hole 10 if your hungry or need a drink your assed out because cafeteria is too far away to stop get a drink or anything for that matter. For the rate it’s a decent course however I think sometimes staff can get to comfortable with that thought.

Quick round

The greens are in great condition. At this time of year, the fairways are drier and a lot of bare spots. We finished our round in about 3.5 hrs teeing off at 1040 so it was a fun day. Definitely will try to play this week again.

First Time Playing

A little help would have been nice

It was my first time playing your course. It was a beautiful day, everything was great. But then my cart light went in and the group I was playing with helped my send a message for a replacement. The group left at the ninth whole and I was just me: my cart replacement didn’t show up. I play two more holes and still no new cart. I send a message from the cart again and again no one send a replacement cart. I was out in the 13th fairway, it was getting dark and I was a women alone. I didn’t finish playing out of fear and my cart dying. The lack of concern or compensation was very disappointing. Not sure I will return.

Lower your expectations and you will be happy

The course is obviously old but for $22 (walking rate/twilight) I'm not complaining! The fairways are very wide, there's not a lot of bumps/hills. There's grass, just not the greenest, and i'm sure it can get pretty rough during the summertime (it is the valley). The greens in my opinion are the best thing about this course.. they are surprisingly very well maintained. I wouldn't plan my weekend round here, but its a great place to practice during the week! I will definitely be back!
