This is a fun executive course that is well maintained and a good value.

I really liked this executive course. It has some par 4 holes that let you take out the driver. The greens were recently punched, but were recovering nicely. The fairways were good for an executive course, the staff was very friendly, and the tee rates were excellent.

Fun to play

Course is in good shape. Greens always kept nice. Good place to work on your irons or to teach new golfers. Play is fast. I've always enjoyed this course.
