Good course & great staff

Staff is very on top of everything and the course is very well maintained. They were able to quell a rowdy group behind us hopping around the course.

Great place to practice/ learn/ play easy

Love playing this course. Not tough to walk in the later afternoons, and the hilly parts are worth it for fun shots. Pace can get slow, but it is a wonderful course to be stuck on and usually in great condition. Will always try and play here when I can get an after 4pm tee time.

Amazing course for any golfer!

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday as I am a beginner and wanted to both enjoy our time and we had a blast. The course was stunning with beautiful views and easy to play but still challenging enough. I recommend it to anyone!

Best Short Course

There’s a reason Golf Advisor rated this track #22 in their Top 100 Short Golf Courses in North America and the British Isles. Actually it’s a number of reasons.

Played 18 in 2 hr 15 min!!!

I played with my dad who is 73 and can’t hit it as far anymore so this course was just right. Staff was friendly and helpful. We both played well which helped, but a little over 2hr round for 18 was amazing (it’s a par 58, so take that into account). The condition of the course was amazing, green, green, green. The greens themselves are in amazing shape. Cost wise with cart was around $70 total for 2 players for a Friday morning, can’t beat that!

Great, affordable course. Strange cart rules.

Love this course. Very nice, affordable and well kept. Only thing that was strange is they make carts come in at 7:45pm. We were forced to return our cart mid round, on the 14th hole all the way to the clubhouse. A little disappointing but would still play again!

Always a Good Time

Best executive course in the county. Great layout, excellent greens, and the new clubhouse is the cherry on top. Best way for an avid golfer to spend three hours.
