Nice Course

Enjoyed the “Home” course today. Well groomed, a few wet spots, but that’s because of the heat they are trying to cope with. Will be playing it next week. Kirk

Hate that I love it!!

Its in a neighborhood I dont like. There are rich, rude, snobby; blue haired uptights all around. But god darn do I love playing this course!! The conditions are excellent. The holes a pretty diverse. Its close to home, and the price is right... I just have to learn to deal with the A holes that play and live around there.

Becoming my favorite course in the area

Great layout, at a great price, in great condition, and I finished my round in 3:45. Looks like they have been polishing this hidden gem.

Beats the Valley Heat

nice Escape from the Valley heat. A few degrees cooler... shade available and a bit of a breeze. Few players during the week makes for a well paced round.

Mad mud

Alot of the holes was saturated, only hole I really disliked was the 18th even though I somehow managed to par. Definitely a summer course but I still recommend this course.

Great day in the foothills

Great day. Course is in good condition for early season. Tight course.....short in yardage, but requires precise quality shots.

Pretty nice course

This is a nice course, the only thing negative is that the fairways need to be mowed, it was like being in short rough. The greens were pretty good, a little slow and I only saw one green that had a really bad spot, likely due to snow and lack of sunlight. The driving range is mats only, so the range balls I bought were fairly useless, I don’t like hitting irons off the mats and the only way to hit a driver with a tee was to push a short tee into the mat, which wouldn’t be bad, except that tee flew off the mat and down the hill.

Little gem that needs a little work

With the outdated decor in the clubhouse you can tell that this place was is in its prime some time ago. With this said the driving range and practice green are fantastic to get the game dialed and all the staff are very friendly and accommodating.

The course on the whole has a nice layout but work is needed on fairways. I often had to place my ball as it would sit in a hole on the fairway.

This is a fantastic little gem of you are in the area and get out there to support the course as they do not seem to have the traffic that they need.

Be sure to check out their happy hour, with this said they could do with a drinks cart somewhere on the back 9. One of the locals was very kind to give us a couple of beers when we asked him if there was a drinks cart, so 10 points for the localism score!
