You can leave your Driver in your bag!

Golf course was in great shape and greens roll good.If you got the golf bug and not a lot of time, great place to wet your appetite. Although Driver not needed for us bombers, still a good test for iron play on the par 3's.

Good course to get in a quick executive nine

Fairways and greens are in good condition. greens are slow but true. Nice course to practice or to introduce the game to beginners I like you can hit your driver 3 times and there are some forced carries over water

Not an 18 hole course

This course is reall y great for your short game. You don't have to pull out your drive until the par 4 on 9. That works for me as a beginner. I'm definitely going back again

Nice, well maintained course. Very popular driving range.

I like this course. It is well maintained and the staff is always friendly. It is the ideal place for me to get in a quick nine holes during the week.

The course difficulty is moderate but several holes test your ability to keep the ball in place. I like holes 4, 5, and 6 that go around the lake.

Hole no. 4 is really fun. It is only 77 yards from the white tee but the green has a wide bunker in the front and a sharp drop-off and water behind it.

Holes no. 8 and 9 can be somewhat hard. No. 8 is a par 3 about 180 yards from the white tee. For some reason, I see a lot of balls being hit short and to the right on this hole. Hole no. 9 seems longer than the stated 315 yards from the white tee. Perhaps it's the water in the middle or the uphill finish.

Not what it used to be

Only nine holes now and while most on staff are nice there's at least one power-tripping tall guy who is extremely rude. If he doesn't like the look of you, expect to be treated like a criminal.

Bad value

Greens in good condition. That's about it, and they failed to mention that they shut down the back 9. It is now only a 9 hole course. Price is generally too high for an executive course, especially now. Used to be nice to get a quick round in, but I will not be going back.

Not a 18 hole corse

The website said 18 holes, only nine. Also there are no par fives and the set up has no flow. If you want a round of 18 at a par of 72 then this is not what you want ! I wasted my money.

Fun little course and great value

A little disappointing that its only a 9 hole course that you play twice rather than a true full 18 hole course. All in all a great value and. Fun course with a handful of fun par 3s.

Great, well maintained short course

This is a great short course and very enjoyable for amateur golfers. Greens are well maintained and there are some challenges on a few holes to add some fun and the price can't be beat.

Just a great, local golf course.

Wonderful course to work on your short game. Staff is wonderful, fairways are in good condition due to carts-on-path-only rule, greens are good (please replace your divots), and fun course to play.

Would love to see a putting green, especially for The First Tee organization.

Love playing here.

Great course

Well maintained, especially for a public course. Quick to play - alone without much course traffic I think one could play 18 holes in about 2:15. Much tougher from the gold tees than from the whites.
