Excellent Value

The course was in excellent condition. The staff was very friendly, especially the starter. The rental clubs I used were also great. I only played 9, and wish I would have played 18. Don't hesitate to play this course!

Excellent course for the price

A very good course, especially the back nine. Played in 3:15 as a twosome on a quiet Monday. Greens are quite tricky (or maybe I'm not so good a reading them). Very enjoyable!

Nice layout good condition

Played first 18 in under 3 hours early morning then took advantage of $25 replay rate. However that took 5 hours behind incredibly slow foursome. Love the course but needs some marshalling. Possibly COVID has impacted their business. Don't get a drink at the turn, $14 for a vodka tonic.

Slow, Featureless Goat Ranch

Course is nothing special. While cheaper than most of the resort courses, still not worth the money. Course plays very slow. No Marshall’s. Cowardly office staff sends you out to talk to young starter with any complaints, only to be fired Ted back into pro shop for your refund.

Never in my life have I seen a more cowardly adult male. Using a young girl to shield himself from customer complaints. Disgusting behavior.

Bottom line. Staff could care less.

Nice course

A little hard to navigate if you haven’t been here before. Course wasn’t overly demanding but had a nice layout. Better than average rental clubs. I had a very nice day of golf.
