Presents unique challenge

This course is well taken care of. It provides its own set of challenges by pushing your iron game and forcing the player to shorten up with its range of doglegs. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a quick round without worrying about putting a pack of balls out of play with the driver.

A beautiful Fall day for golfing!

Pros: Staff very friendly, excellent caddie

Cons: Fairways had spots with little to no grass. Confusing layout. I had the first tee time of the day yet there were groups already teeing off when I should up.

Shady Oaks golf day

I always enjoy playing here. There are some challenging holes, but I hit the ball fairly straight, now my Buddy struggled and lost several golf balls. The greens were a lot faster than my course so took me a few holes to lag the ball and not charge my putts. I shot well, 38-36 and we played the Senior tees. Looking forward to playing here again. Thank You.

Surprisingly difficult

Had a lot of rain lately. Course was in very good condition. It is surprisingly difficult. Narrow fairways I enjoy this course as a change of pace from where I normally play
