Nice unique course

I read some good reviews about this course and they didn’t disappoint. The course is very unique in a good way. Off the tee things are pretty open and then as you get closer to the greens it becomes more challenging. Great little pot bunkers around the course. Lots of mounds lining the fairways so if you hit it offline you can have an unusual lie. Greens seem email and undulating. I live a hour away and looking forward to coming back. Couple notes, the driving range balls are very old and not good. The men’s washroom is outdated and needs an overhaul. The golf carts are older but kept up well and very zippy.

nice course slow play

I always enjoy this course but don’t enjoy the slow play. They need a ranger here to move people alone and stop groups of 5 when course is crowded. Also better spaced tee time would help. I will avoid this course on the weekends due to slow play( like 5 hr round ) slow

Windy day

Course was very challenging today. Pin positions were the hardest I ever saw on this course. Rough was tough and greens were fast.. Winds were 20- 30 mph gusting. Par 5 11th played like 800 yards being into the wind.

Felt like a final round at a major.

Plays longer than Yardage

A par 5 at 600+ yards...into the wind every time. So play the RED tees at 6200+ yards instead for a more enjoyable experience. Greens were slow but we've gotten a lot of rain lately. Hope to see that improve next round. For the price (~$40 including cart) would play again

Nice track

First time playing here, and even with it being first time out this season, and it having snowed less than a week before, course was very playable. Want to come back mid summer to see it in prime shape (and take a cart,it was a soggy walk 😀). People working were super nice and helpful. Really impressed with all aspects of visit.

Though place was good a while back, but not so much now

This course is ok. If it rains, there is standing water in many places, the clubhouse and amenities are poor. The owner doesn’t put much money if any into maintaining it. It was a links course but they changed it, so now there are just random mowed grass mounds all over. It’s wide open and easy, but no consistency with greens.

Nice Course

This is a nice track , its fairly wide open for the most part and easier than most courses. The greens are the nicest ive played on this year, they're fast amd they run true.

The staff were very friendly especially the starter . I'll be back soon
