Good course

Good course. Difficult front nine, a lot of water to deal with. But as I warmed up, I enjoyed the challenge. The back nine was challenging as well but a little easier.

Worth it

It’s about a 30 ish minute drive from me so I don’t make it out that often, but when I do it usually does not disappoint. This was my first time out in moooonths and my first time back in about a year or so. Everyone was friendly, tried getting out an hour early but there was no space and I could see why. The greens were in awesome shape, rolling nicely. Everything else seemed to be okay except the bunkers. I was able to snap a deal time so I was really happy about the cost with a cart. I was thinking it would be a 4.5-5hr round but we ended up finishing at exactly 3hrs and 45 minutes. I usually play solo, and seem to run into other solo players of all ages and experience. Always a pleasant time at the vineyard.

Use to be SOOOO nice

I used to play this course often but have not been there in a couple of years It is a good layout but needs help the fairway's are just ok the bunkers need some sand the greens wont hold anything.

But they have installed Trackman or something similar not sure which one cause the only open mats did not have them installed.

If you can get out there for 50-60 I guess it;s not so bad but not worth anything more

Good not great

For the money this was a fantastic deal. Pace of play was good. Tee boxes a little rough. Some burned out spots on fringes of greens. Very straight course. Some hills. Overall had a great afternoon. Nice staff.
