This course was in good condition
We have a lot of fun to play under great condition on this course, well maintained
Good for the Price
I used GolfNow to get a great price - $30/each, including cart on a Sunday afternoon.
The course is in fair shape. The greens were spongy and slow. I'm guessing they hadn't been mowed because it was so hot and they didn't want to burn them up. And, they had the sprinklers running all afternoon - very distracting. Also, most of the greens are very small. On some of the longer holes (several par 4's over 400 yards), it's a real challenge to hit an approach onto the tiny greens. Otherwise, it's pretty straight forward. It's hard to lose a golf ball because it's pretty open and there are very few hazards (no water to speak of).
The staff is pleasant, especially the young man at the grill in the snack shack. There was no beverage cart.
We'll play it again because of the price and tee time availability. We also want to try the Black Course.
Kid Friendly
I was with my grandson 12 and granddaughter 10 and it was the first time out for the year, the course just opened but was in okay condition, got a great price on golfnow prepaid t-time and it was a great day with the kids. Staff was very friendly.
Great value for the money
FW - Red is a fun course over all. some holes are difficult with upward lies, others are short and prime for birdie ops if played correctly.
My first round of the 2015 season started here, some bunkers were flooded but it's understandable given it was beginning of April.
Definitely a course I will look forward to playing again.
Good value
Underrated course. Great layout. Decent shape. Fairways were very good. Greens very slow.
Sunday Round
Good course for your average weekend golfer. Area around greens are decent but fairways and tee boxes are in rough shape. If you get a good price and time round can be worth it but there are far better courses in the area.
Good value
Course is nicely set up, we'll worth the cost. Black course is in nicer shape. Still early.
can't beat the value for this course any where
This course for the price is unbelievable. Most of the time you can walk up and get right out without a tee time. The greens are in great shape some fairways need a little help and some fairways are in excellent condition. Round was quick no waiting
or backup on any holes.
Good mix of long and ahort Par 4's. Greens in excellent condition.
Enjoyable round of golf. Greens and Tees in excellent shape
( we played from the Blues). Staff was friendly + helpful, good 19th hole.. Fairways were spotty at times.
OK course probably not worth the price
Aside from the course being OK, the lady at the desk did not honor the Golf Now discounted prices so you still had to pay the full price. Not ideal.
the $10 special W/cart
Having played the "Wheel" (RED course) numerous times in years past I knew what to expect... Holes 1,9,10, & 18 were going to be the obstacles... and they were as they are being re-seeded. But the greens ran true, quick, no blotches.. and the bunkers were just fine, too. AND the last minute w/cart special of $10... terrific! Will I return? yes... even without a $10 special.
Interesting Course, Poor Conditions
Some of the holes, especially 10-12 on the Red Course, seemed to be in especially poor condition. Large portions of the fairways seemed to be swampy or muddy, making a good drive even seem unplayable. Most of the holes were fairly straight forward with the biggest challenges being the large hills that comprised many holes. A bit more care in the low/swampy areas could go a long way to improving the conditions
Intimidating first hole
Red course is a good track for mid-to-high handicappers except for the first and last holes, which have extreme elevation changes (downhill first, then uphill) that make for blind shots. Don't be intimidated by the first hole. It gets much easier from there -- except for the last hole.
black course
my first time out on the black course this year! enjoyed it as usual, conditions were very nice, very helpful staff....i will be back.
