Excellent course
Staff was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed before hitting the course.
Tee time was made easy and the course was nearly empty. Played through in about an hour and decided to do it again. Short course for picking up your short game.
I will definitely be back.

Great tuneup
Pristine conditions. 90 to 100yds most holes, to tight greens. Great for short game tuneup and for beginners. Excellent facilities for warmup….driving, chipping, putting, bunker play.

Very poor organization
Arrived and told that the kids program was using holes 1,2,8,9, so we could play 3-7 twice. On every hole but 2, groups of kids were playing from 50 yards in - impossible to safely play more than 2 holes. The management refused to return our greens fees - no manager present to discuss. Very poor experience, will not return.
