Walked

could use drinking fountain on course

It was 91 degrees. I didn't see any drinking water available on the course. Maybe I missed it. Otherwise, very nice course, well-maintained.

Incredibly Slow

5 hour round for no reason. Has happened both times I played here. Also, both times I've played here, there has been some kind of wait on the first tee due to players being late or some other kind of mix up. I think 18 being a par-3 doesn't help the pace of play issue (2 group backup on the last). Don't think it's really the course's fault more the fault of the people playing there.

Great Course for Great Price

I played on a Friday afternoon for a very affordable twilight rate. Beautiful course with not many hazards. Only complaint is that the pace of play was slow.

Get more golf carts

2:30 tee time. Waited at staging area for one cart until 2:35. Group joining us waited even longer and didn’t join us until 7th hole. I would appreciate being able to chip and putt prior but can’t if there aren’t any carts. Marshalls were not marshalling the booze bro hackers in front of us playing at 30 minutes plus per hole, couldn’t finish 18.

Nice course in decent condition

It was a bit brown in spots, but overall the layout is nice and there were decent conditions. Worth the price.

Not so much!

I don’t know where this course is getting these 3 and 4 stars reviews because it’s not even close. The clubhouse is old and outdated. The tee boxes need mowing,seeding and a lot of water. They can’t/don’t even buy actual trash cans for the tee boxes. They use milk crates. Multiple dead spots in the fairways and tee boxes. Greed were ok at best.The practice area has no grass and you hit off mats that are old and worn out. Oh and if you want beer be ready to $7 per bottle of but lite. I’ve seen much better municipal courses than this place. I have pics I would post but for some reason GN wouldn’t load them up. I wouldn’t wast my time and money if I were you.
