Great executive course.

Conditions were real good! A few areas were wet but they were free drop zones. Greens were true and consistent. Good craft beer and food in the clubhouse. Only complaint is the putting green. Terrible condition.

Always Great

Nothing to complain about at all. Poor water drainage is an issue in several areas, but if you' stay on the fairway you'll never see it. I always look forward to playing here

Great Executive Golf Course

Been playing this executive track for over 30 years. It’s in as good a shape as it’s ever been. The layout is the best executive course in the county, and except for the 13th green (a bit diseased) the course is a pleasure to play! Walked it and got around in 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Still a good value

Following the heavy rains there were some wet spots but overall course was in playable condition. Walked 18 holes in 2.25 hours. A good value for $10 hot deal of the day! Great course to sharpen up short game <100 yds.

Absurdly Slow

I really enjoy playing here, but today was INSANELY slow. It didn't matter how many 'fivesomes' allowed me to play through....there was always another group at the next hole. By the time I got to the 10th hole and 5 cartloads of kids were lined up and waiting, I had enough and just left the course. Very frustrating waste of money and time today.
