Great iron work out

Course was in great shape. The greens were firm and fast. Was able to use my 9,7 and PW only. Great course to practice your irons.

Good place to learn if you’re a new golfer

I took my family who doesn’t play much and it was a good course with no pressure to be good and no one pushing from behind so they could relax and learn how to play with their irons.Great time

Good for practicing wedges and chipping

This is a very short course with very small greens. Good value for money if you’d like to practice wedges and chipping. We had to work around children’s groups as part of First Tee. Would have helped if we were told this at check in.

Good workout for short irons

The longest hole was about 140 yrds. On the weekends it appears that holes 1 and 9 are closed to allow for First Tee drills; I was told to replay any 2 other holes to compensate (easy with the out and back layout). The greens were a little spotty but generally rolled true.

All in all a good place to work on shorter irons.

Great little course

Love these guys. A great little course, but the hook is that its really well maintained and the contours of the course are really unexpected for what some would just call a pitch-n-putt course. I was quite surprised & challenged. The views of the surrounding mountains are a bonus.

Front desk employee

This is a short and fairly easy par 3 course. There was one front desk who struggled to use the cash register and neglected to inform us we couldn’t play the first hole. The other employees were great
