A Challenging 9-Hole Stands Apart

This is the only par 35 9 hole course around. Most are par 3-4s. The opening hole is a par 5, with 6 par 4s and 2 par 3s. The course, club, and area are pretty nice. There is a putting green practice area, no range, but there is a top golf across the street. There's also a par 3 course here, 6 hole which becomes a 9 hole at night. I don't really get that.? It was a little confusing finding the 1st tee since I've never been here. Checking in and then walking around the building to the first tee wasn't intuitive, layout was kind of confusing. The course itself is well kept and beautiful.

Great for Beginners & Causals

Solid for beginners that are finding their stride in the sport. Long straight fairways, fairly simple and straight forward. They have deals where you can run the course again which is nice. Part of a larger golf complex where I was able to do the 3-par night course. Great and accessible “18 holes” you can do after work or spur of the moment.

Best 9 hole course I’ve played

From the front, the pro shop is awesome!! Friendly staff, I asked a few questions since it was my first time at this course and the young lady at the front desk was super kind and answered all of my questions with the exact info needed. The post play hangout area by the pro shop is a must see, honestly feels like you are in a county club. The putting greens are in such amazing condition, really catches the eye as you head to your first hole. 1st hole of the course is amazing, nice long drive, some slopes on the way to the green but nothing the avg golfer can’t handle. From there it just gets better with every hole as you navigate through the course, the pace of play is perfect, the ambient is amazing, the fairways are pretty forgiving and greens are smooth, not bumpy greens, not too challenging but not to easy. Then the final hole, reminds you that it’s a 9 hole with a nice short 9th hole to end the day. All in all, I highly recommend this course for the money, the course is just perfect!!

Great course

First time playing this course, I thought it was pretty awesome. First hole is a great Par 5 which you don’t typically see on a nine-hole course. Staff was awesome and the clubhouse and restaurant were cool as well. Will

definitely be coming back and playing it again.

Always a good time

I always get paired up with locals so it makes for good conversations through out the round. The greens are fast and firm with a lot of older divots which is a concern. I've been playing out here because the courses I usually play are having aeration maintenance.

First time

My Son and I played this course for the first time. The staff was friendly and helpful in any questions we had. This isn’t your typical par 3, 9 hole course. It is a challenging course, but fun. We will definitely be playing here again.

Nice Course

The course is nice! I love playing here! However please see below areas that need improvements.

1) course navigation - my Golf GPS is saying that this is still an 18 holes course. Maybe someone on your end can get it updated?

2) ball cleaner at every hole - wish list

3) Calling the clubhouse for reservations- I called once and the lady on the line was asking for my CC number and expiration date which is fine but was also asking for my CVV. I told her that is my only protection from fraud so I did not give it to her. Even online reservations doesnt ask for CVV. Maybe better personnel manning the phones would/can be improved
