Very fun course

Jen and Steve are super friendly and also greet you with a smile on their face. The golf course is challenging but fun at the same time. Tons of water means bring a few golf balls!!

Greens in good condition, course well maintained.

My son and I played from the tips and it proved to be relatively challenging. Most fairways are wide open but a few are tight and you're better off with a long iron or hybrid off the tee. Windy conditions was the biggest challenge. Nice course, great value.

Nice layout. Greens were in good shape

I've played this course quite a few times. First time this season though. The greens were really nice for this late in the season. This is what I refer to as a "target" course. Especially the par-5's. Definitely not a "Bombers" course. Many holes require a precise (less than driver) tee shot. Number 10 is a good example. You have to hit the landing area with your tee shot about 200 yds out. Don't miss short, long or left!

If you like water and lots of it this is your course.

This is a fun course to play, and I enjoy myself every time. I have played this course several times at full cost. I enjoy it that much..

Nice course, terrible bunkers

It has been quite a while since I last played this course. The course was in good condition. One issue was, the greens were punched, which always makes putting tough. The biggest issue was the bunkers. Of all the bunkers I saw, only one or two had sand in them. So if you go in a bunker, pick it clean, or putt it out.

It was a very pleasant golfing experience.

There are several tough holes that requires carefull course management. The pace of the game is well monitored by the rangers.

Nice course but a little too high priced.

Paid $53 for 18 holes with cart. I have played many courses this year and I am willing to pay a high price for a high quality course. I would think this course should be priced between $40 and $45 based on other courses in the area. At that price level I would rate it 4 stars. Sand traps require attention or at least some more sand in them. I know the last couple of rains have destroyed many traps but there has been time to make the repairs. The one positive--very easy to get on especially on a very nice weekend but too many 2-somes were allowed out which slowed play.

Needs attention and slow pace

Pace was slow all through the day. The fairways looked like try hadn't seen water in months. The traps were concrete and the greens weren't any better.

Played on a rainy day, was in good shape.

1 hour rain delay, due to lightening. Would have played quicker if not for that. Lots of tricky shots due to lakes. Nice course, though.

Good for the money, challenging but not too hard.

Very nice golf course. There isn't much room for error. There is quite a bit of water and /or trees on this course. I would bring lots of practice balls.
