I think this is a very underrated course. It’s a tough layout. It’s in very good shape and the cost for this quality of course is very reasonable.

Great Value for the Experienced Golfer

Firstly, the quality of the course for the price is amazing. It is a challenging course with some of the longest holes I’ve ever played and some fairly narrow fairways. A beginner may have some issues, but for the avid golfer it’s a must play. Always well mowed and great drainage overall for the rainy days. I always recommend this course in conversation.

Sub Par. No pun intended.

I rarely leave reviews but felt compelled to say a little something. Staff was not friendly at all which is unfortunate. Walked in to the club house and was met with an unhappy staff member who might have been having a bad day but nevertheless. The gentleman who services the carts was also very rude to me when asked which cart I could take.

The course itself wasn’t bad but definitely not a place I’m dying to go back to. Value for the money is average I guess but there are 2-3 courses in close proximity I’d recommend well before. Also very odd but their coolers for water were empty and their ball washing stands had no liquid in them.

4/10

One of the best

One of my all time favorite courses. Having grown up on Hassell rd it’s nice to evolve from riding our bikes as kids through the tunnels, to smacking drives down the fairways. Love the course

I’ve never seen a course that allowed a 6 some on the course! We had a six some ahead of us, and a five some ahead of them. Just didn’t think it was right

Good value

Overall this course is pretty solid, some interesting holes with a decent layout. The main thing to write home about is the value, for the price around twilight you really can’t beat it anywhere else.
