worth the visit

Only downfall was a few holes go back and forth and a little dangerous with other golfer’s shots and some near misses.

Short, tight course

This course was in good shape but short at 5300+ yards from the blue tees. The homes that line the course are close also. Be careful.

The greens were slow but true and overall the course is in great shape but everything is really close so be aware at all times.

Quaint

Nice old short course with good fairways and greens. Greens are small, which adds to the fun. Play is slow as the clientele is on the upper side of 70 years old. If you are patient it is a very good place to play.
