Wide Fairways

Since they changed the course from being fivesome to foursome the pace of play has improved. This is a good course to just have a nice round of golf. The greens have no breaks so can't really. take what you do here to a course with breaks on its greens.

Very nice course

Beautiful day. Great place of play. Social distancing was adhered to. Couldn't make a putt but that is golf. Greens were smooth and fairways were nice even though I didn't hit one-I punched out to every one of them. I walked all of them.

Rough is rough, play is slow

Play was very slow, course is rough. Golfers are disrespectful and do not watch for other golfers. You are teamed up with fivesomes. Long par 4’s

Perfect course to get a quick 9 holes in depending on when you decide to play. Restaurant is being remodeled but vendor on site is very friendly. Course and fairways in good condition for it being January.

Don't Play on Holidays

Course was slammed on President's Day 2016. Took 3.5 hours to play 9 holes. Greens were torn up. Normally a fun fast course. Avoid playing on the holidays. That being said will definitely play again. Great value!
