Greens in good shape
The course was in good shape considering it’s still winter. The greens were in really good shape. Only a few greens had some issues, but overall very pleased with the course.

As Expected
Exactly what I expected after reading the reviews. Great greens, well kept, relatively cheap, and good pace. The only downside was the girls in the kitchen were rude.

Good value with GolfNow discount
This course is worth playing with the GolfNow discount, but the greens need work. Course is average, but again, with the discount it’s worth the money.
