Great open course

I’m a relatively new golfer, so this course is great because it has a good amount of open holes. Though it’s open it still has challenging layouts that have nice shapes and elevations throughout the course. Great value for the price of a round! I come here frequently.

The layout was great. Staff was very friendly and it wasn’t too expensive. However, greens were a bit sandy and slow. Also, bunkers were terrible. Obvious that no money is put into the bunkers. Overall, a good course.

Always a great round

As always, the course was in excellent condition but the greens were a little inconsistent for speed, and oftentimes it seemed like the putts rolled out faster uphill than down. Go figure.

With very little wind, as long as you can hit it straight the course if a fabulous test of golf without being impossible for average players. Strong winds can produce lots of loss balls in thick fescue and other native high grasses, so pick your day carefully.

My only complaint this day was slow play due to a "tournament" of willing amateurs in foursome playing slow so lots of waiting. Still, beats a standard muni for weekends.

Very much worth the money.

The course is a great challenge.

Haven't played the course in three years, looking forward to playing the course again.
