Great Course

Had a very fun round. The greens are in excellent shape and rolling true. The course is currently making some improvements on wear and tear areas which will be very nice. The tee boxes are in great shape compared to the last round I played here. The staff is extremely friendly. The price is fair unlike nearby Deerfield, which isn't even as in as good condition. I would highly recommend playing this course.

Just as remembered

Place is in great shape considering the lack of rain this year. Fairways and greens were well maintained. Some traps and tee boxes need a lil attention but all workable. I’d play again

Sr Tee Boxes

Staff have made tremendous improvements to the look and playability of the course. However The Senior Tee Boxes Remain in Bad Condition. 7th Hole Tee Box is Virtually unplayable.

In my opinion the tee box issue is small but seems to be ignored. I love this course and play it often.

NOT TWILIGHT + Rude Staff

My friend and I both drove over an hour to meet here for a Saturday afternoon round. We came here specifically because they offered twilight golf. We were unfortunately kicked off the course at 6:45 (before sunset and still ample light to play). Restaurant was closed by then and the manager was very rude when we spoke to him.

Course was decent, solid for intermediate golfers. Had several singles trying to play through us the whole game though. No course etiquette, no cart tech, no hole layouts or tee box distances either. We will not be returning here.

What happened to the greens?

The course has been in great shape for years, ever since the irrigation was redone. The greens are suddenly in sub par shape for my last two rounds here. I heard they got a new guy who is triple-rolling them, but haven't verified this. Need to keep the greens resilient the way they have been! Great course otherwise. I'll leave another review if I see the greens improve.
