Tough pins

The greens were rolling true. The pin Placements on most of the greens on the particular day I played were right on the crest of the green making for rather difficult parts. Overall I love this course and will play again

Enjoyed The Course

The course layout was interesting and on some holes very demanding. The fairways were consistently excellent and the greens smooth and relatively fast. Pace of play was good. Looking forward to playing the third nine on our next outing there.

Very enjoyable and challenging. Got off to a 25 minute later start due to a slow foursome who had to make the turn before we started, but that’s golf! Staff was very apologetic. First nine was slow but 2nd nine was just fine. Course was in great condition.

East nine/North nine

The East nine was not as good as the North nine. It has been modified from when the course had an 18 hole East course:. Now 3 par 3's, 3 par 5's and 3 par 4's.

Ok course for the money. We definitely liked the east course much more than the west. It was fine for an under $50 course.
