Gorgeous Day to Play

The course was very nice for a par 3. Had different lengths and also narrow, you really had to play straight.

I even bought a new golfing shirt there!

One problem was the map that was included in the golfnow confirmation is incorrect.

Great Course!

We have been trying to play and walk this course once a week this spring. It is a great challenge and workout! I would recommend it....we have our rolly carts which make it a little easier....but it is a challenge!

Tough little course

This is a fun course to play and some what challenging due to the smaller greens. The only bad thing is the tee boxes need to be graded. Most play like you’re teeing off on the side of a small hump. Other than that, it’s a great course

Bump and grind

Be advised this is a poorly kept muni, with lots of total beginners on the course. Greens in poor condition, tee boxes even worse.

If all you want to do is practice your irons, this is ok, Don't worry about putting and chipping, because you won't really know how you are doing.

No sand traps, and water really not in play. Hard to get perspective of the greens with little backdrop and no indicators.

I won't be back.

Love the Walk

Great par 3 with ability to walk for exercise. Some tees are domed and need to be leveled off.

A Great Walk!

I've played this course many times and I keep coming back. It's a fairly easy course....no sand traps and minimal water. I like to walk and enjoy the day and add golf to the mix. A great way to spend an afternoon without breaking the bank!

This course is always terrific and offers great value for 18 holes

I've been golfing here for over eight years and this course rarely disappoints. Whether it's the fantastic and helpful staff in the clubhouse or the shape of the greens I am always happy to golf here. The greens were especially fast on Thursday and combined with the wind it made it a challenge.

Pretty decent course!

The course was in decent shape with adequately fast greens and decently maintained fairways. Pace was a tad slow but who cares for $15? Still finished in 3 hours. If I was forced to find a negative, I’d say it has the feel of a 1960’s local “muni”. But hey, THATS WHAT IT IS - with 1960’s green fees too - if you use Golf Now to buy your tee time!

Great Par 3, easy walk

Played course on MLK Day, and it was not busy at all at noon. So pace of play was fast, as did not have to wait at all! Staff were very friendly and helpful, and maintenance workers were very courteous and friendly! They have done a great job on course maintenance, and this was good value fo the money!

Thanks.
