No one was playing

It’s a fun course, overall open, but of course Jack always does a sand trap in the middle with a lot of water. Nobody was playing which made the round super fun to just rip right through it. It’s a new development and since it’s so far to get to you will not have an issue with pay play.

Unique chipping and putting practice areas.

First time playing this course. Greens were just aerated I believe two days before, so that wreaked havoc on my score. Pretty cool course. Hot as heck. Lots of bunkers.

Great Course

Second time playing this course. Got a good HotDeal price. Course is in really good shape considering the heat. Greens were recently punched and sanded, which I wasn't aware of until arriving.

The layout is fun. Some of the par 4s are on the short side, but lots of risks in trying to drive it close.

A good choice if the price is reasonable.

Service staff are excellent.

It's worth your time

I really enjoyed playing this course. The greens and fairways were very well kept as well as the bunkers. The greens are very tricky on this course so don't expect to score well unless you're good enough to hit the correct spots on the greens. Three putts are not uncommon. I happened to play very well that day and shot four over with three 3 putts. I'm a 4.2 handicap and played the blue/ black combo tees.

GOLF/Miniature golf

I watched 18 holes out there yesterday in hundred degree heat. I would not recommend doing this. From the green to the Teebox is on some of the holes was too far of a stretch. The fairways are very forgiving, because the roof is basically an extended fairway. Manicured low, easy to hit shots from missed fairways. Here’s where we get to miniature golf. The greens are insanely undulated, with bowls in the greens. I feel the greens need to be redone. Basically every putt, you were putting on a roller coaster ride. This could be a wonderful golf track, if they were to fix the greens. Also, build up the rough a little bit. I had a twosome, a single, and then a twosome playing in front of me. I was a single and walking. I had to wait on every shot. On some holes I was waiting from 5 to 10 minutes. It was ridiculous. Would I play this course again, yes. I would not pay full price. I would get the best price to play this course again!
