Good 9 Hole Executive Course

Love this course for a mid week 9 Hole round to primarily work on the short game. 5 of 9 of the holes have water that come into play. Sand traps are strategically placed and are in great condition. Greens have enough undulation to keep it challenging but not so much that makes it frustrating. Driver is really only needed on 2 holes depending on the tees you play from. Recommend playing this course!

Grwat for just getting out

Decent tee boxes and fairway conditions. Greens have plenty of grass but don’t roll well at all. It’s not a course I even bother putting honestly.

If you want a convenient in-town outing just to bang the ball around this is a great option. Mainly par 3s but a few par 4s where you can hit the driver.

You can hit every club in the bag and check in with your game out here. Fair price for what it is. Staff is friendly and I’ve never had an issue with pace of play.

There is a school directly connected to the property so be mindful of traffic about the time the students are leaving.

Great 9

What was left of East Lake #2 is a nice 9 hole practice facility. A few par 4s lets you hit a variety of shots. Definitely will use CY to help maintain my game.

Par 30 course. Stated 3400 yard course and it was, but the course played about 2000 yards. Very short course even with me playing from the tips.

Fun in the city

Course is in outstanding shape.

Challenging holes with a great mix of water, hills and trees.

Greens are in fabulous shape.

This is a great place to practice all the important parts of your game.

Driver barely comes out of the bag.

Premium is on putting the ball in the right spot and learning how to navigate the short game.

Lots of fun with enough challenge to be interesting for all.
