Simple and Scenic

It’s a small 9 hole course, you’re not playing here for the amenities. The clubhouse and lot is pretty backwoods, but it’s nestled in a great location with awesome views. If you’re looking for bang for your buck, it’s here. Cart paths are torn to shreds, but it’s adventurous. It’s not a difficult course by any means. There are no hazards and everything is pretty wide open. It’s a little gem in the woods.

Good 9 Hole Course

This is a great 9 hole course. Cart paths are worn down and the fairways were a cut a little high. The greens were in great condition and no water hazards. It's a great course for $20! I would highly recommend for a quick cheap outing.
