Spring is coming into full bloom near the fairways of the downhill fourth–a highly challenging golf hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/30/2025

At the ninth, these scattered, numerous trees may make your life difficult upon finding the right rough. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/30/2025

The longish par-4 second proves a tough par, especially because of the huge tree blocking an approach from the right. Missing the green can be lethal. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/04/2023

The first. This small green is a tough target for your round’s second shot (seen from right flank). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/06/2021

Four: Simply a spectacular tee shot, where you’ll want precious little sidespin on your golf ball. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/06/2021

Four. The hole narrows down on the second to this tilted, hard-to-putt green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/06/2021

The first may be the ‘easiest’ hole on the course, but its green is small and well-defended. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020

Looking down eastward from tee two, across the ninth fairway: the visible golfers are playing from tee eight. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020

The fourth hole, in my view, hits a trifecta: best hole; best views; best tee shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020

The sixth, a par-3 sports an interesting tee shot from the blues. Watch for OOB left. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020

Decent Course
First time playing there and had a good time. There are 5 holes that play different if you're playing 18 holes. Found that to be confusing but still enjoyed the course.

Nice place friendly staff.
I enjoy playing at this golf course. Everyone is super friendly and courteous. It’s considered to be a beginners course. The pace of play can be very slow and I think picking when you play plays a part in that.
I would play here again.

No cuts
A group of 4 jumped two groups at the 1st tee box. When we told the guy who was organizing the groups about the group that jumped us and another foursome he said, “that guy is part owner at another course”. What? So, that makes it ok to jump the line. Terrible!

Was given the option to book 18 holes was anticipating 18 different holes instead essentially this courses nine hole course with three or four different tee boxes. Piece of play was a major issue took over 5 1/2 hours should not have taken that long.

Needs Work...
Booked a tee-time through Golf Now. Immediately the clubhouse said I needed to ride in a cart because I booked through Golf Now. Took them a good 15 minutes to figure out how to charge me correctly.
No starter. People just teeing off into each other whenever they feel like it. Waited about 10-15 minutes at each hole.
Layout is ok, but tee boxes are beat up and holes/directions not clearly marked. Fairways we're almost like the rough. Greens were nice.
If you live close by and don't mind the conditions, I can see this being popular, but for the 30 minute drive I wouldnt waste my time again.

This is a fun course to play.
This course is slightly challenging for the recreational golfer, but is fun to play. The views are great, and the restaurant has great food and drinks for after your round.

Nice views, good food
Nice course. IT is just 9 holes so you play them twice for 18, with some different tee boxes the 2nd time around. People are friendly. the food is well above average.

Nice little 9 hole course
The course was in great condition. The greens were a little on the slow side but absolutely no bare spots! The pace was slow despite a ranger being out on the course. The last time I played here it was the same. Two hours and forty five minutes for nine holes. I liked the course and would play it again.
