Quick Par 3

Quick course to get a round in…..as long as you hit it at the right time. If you get stuck on the front 9 it may take awhile. The course is pretty easy and straight forward with a couple Par 4’s. The course they keep in pretty good condition.

A nice walk

Overall this is a nice course to walk and practice your short game. There are a few holes where longer clubs are called for, which makes it fun. The greens were in good condition although I would place signage around and request people repair their ball marks as well as instruct how. There was a few places where the ground was pretty mushy but overall good condition. A bit pricey for an executive but still worth it.

Great course, a few greens need some attention (dead spots) need replacing.
