OK greens, poor rough fairways

The greens have been improved recently, but the fairways are often just earth - or very rough grass. The cart paths are very rough. For the same costs, there are plenty of better courses within 15-20 miles.

I just want to get a round of golf in

Good course for just getting out and playing. Par 3 and some par 4s. Walk or ride. Not too big not too small, normally good pace, people that work there are cool and the range is chill. Have not had an issue and have probably played here over a dozen times now. I have zero complaints about this course.

Great course but got hit by a golf ball

Some people coming to this course can’t drive par 4s straight, I got hit in the collar bone pretty hard so just be careful out there.

It’s a decent par 3 course

It’s a good course to work on your short game. Just feel it should be cheaper for how small it is and the slow place.

Found my go to place

Sure, it’s not a fancy course (you do have to tee off from the mat except for a couple of holes) but I think I found a course I could play after work.

It was one of those days at work and I really wanted to just play a round by myself. Found this course on GolfNow. I checked in literally a minute before my tee time but staff was super understanding, and I was ready to go.

The course layout can be a bit confusing for a first timer. I walked, no pull cart—I only took 9 clubs with me. Definitely got my steps in, but it was relaxing and fun. The last two holes, it got really dark but I could still find my ball, thanks to the bright lights throughout the course.

If I ever have time after work again, I will definitely come back. 18 holes took me about 2.5 hrs. It was perfect.

If you have time…

Pace of play needs to pick up on this course. My fault - I knew I only had 2 1/2 hours to play when I booked - when I got there I saw the traffic on the course and opted out playing.
