Overpriced
Paid $60 for 9 holes. Greens were in solid condition. But way overpriced for a public course.

A Little Overbooked and Wear a Helmet
Loved the staff and the facility. Thus is a beautifully maintained course. Very tight and overbooked. We felt rushed by the people behind us and held up by the people in front of us. While waiting, it was constantly raining golf balls all around you. I believe the course is too tight and can be dangerous.

Greens
Disappointed in the greens. Some were like playing plinko. Additionally, the amount of unfixed ball divots was wild. It’s a muni but, it’s not worth the $88 to ride 18 during the week. Won’t go back anytime soon
