Should be better

The course itself isn't bad, but the greens seemed very inconsistent. The cart paths are pathetic, like driving on the moon and I hate gas golf carts. We got a hot deal, but everyone agreed that we wouldn't be coming back soon. The staff was very nice.

Decent Experience for the Price

Pace of play seemed to be a bit of an issue both times I've played here so far, but overall a fun course to play with great amenities such as beer cooler bags from the bar for the round, golf carts with gps screens, and cart girls throughout the day.

They have done miracles.

Had been a go to course as a cheap alternative. Then a couple years ago they started clearing trees. Now is much more enjoyable. Nice staff. Great course.

It’s all in the name!

Wow what beautiful views all around! The course is in great condition, T boozes fairways and greens. Traps need a lot of work but playable. And the cart paths need to all be redone. But they have brand new golf carts that are really comfortable. And they don’t rip you off to play

You can see they are working on the course all over so once done this will be a top tier public course.

Definitely going back to play again!

Mike

Not worth it!

They sent us off the back 9 with no starter.

We were a 4some being held up by a 3some, who were being held up by a twosome.no ranger in sight

When we hit hole 1 at 2 hrs and 40 minutes there was a league starting which would not let us through

The staff tried to put us on a hole with a gap but we asked to play the back 9 again, which they accommodated

Not worth the aggravation to play there

Nice track but still needs to work.

Sand traps and cart paths need to be improved. Various areas affected by water in the fairways.
