Not up to par

Fairways poor, greens average. No Marshall’s, people cutting in slowing pace. Could not recommend to friends if current conditions and management persist. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Friendly foursome... course leaves much to be desired

Club is under construction so it was sort of a "mad scene"..between golf carts, people eating, checking in all in the same place...hectic.

Fairways were in terrible shape...tee boxes and greens OK.

Tee boxes//fairways etc VERY close together....so conditions were cramped!

Thanks heavens for beautiful weather and a friendly foursome.

Good course for price, easy to get lost

This course for the price is pretty good. Greens in good shape, very helpful staff. Easy to get lost though if it's your first time. Also pro shop is all under remodel so everything is temporary but they make it work.

Really tight course . Dangerous situations at the tee boxes. Houses very close. Constant OB shots. Worst part was the outdoor restaurant (nice venue) “special” hotdog and a beer for $16 . Hot dog was a basic no name dog and cold in the centre. . And no condiments!! Dried out tiny bun.as well.

Good for 1st outing of the year but the front 9 is in bad shape. All greens were fast and good.

2nd 9 is like a different course!

Overall the course is really tight and balls are coming in from everywhere 😵‍💫

Good course

Decent course for the money. Clubhouse is renovated so pro shop is in a trailer. It’s a very tight course but fair. Greens are in good shape for the most part but fairways tend to be dry with lots of hard pan.
