Great State run course.

Great State run golf course. Holes have lots of undulation and are pretty narrow. With the numerous tees, you can match your skill level. First time around is an adventure. unfortunately we lost several balls on the Bermuda fringes on the first few holes which was frustrating. One tall course was in great condition considering we are in a drought. There was some hog damage on two holes but It didn’t affect our game. Staff is very efficient and friendly including the rangers. The price is very good and worth every penny. I drive 45 minutes to play here.

I think it’s ok

Having played this course only twice, I’d say it’s pretty nice. The clubhouse could use a little work but not bad for state run course. $6 for 50 balls at the range. Can’t beat the price for 18 holes though....

Great Course!

I grew up playing this course and it is probably in the best shape it has been in a long time. Fairways and greens are cut well making for great surfaces to hit from. The roughs are being kept higher making for an overall difficult course if you don’t keep it in the fairway. Awesome experience, and definitely worth the money to play here.

Always Good!

Course was in great shape and the greens were pretty fast. Fairways and tee boxes were great. Definitely challenging and I suggest that you leave the big stick in the bag on some holes. Staff is always friendly. I’ve never had a bad time out there.
