Cool course

Had fun playing here. Greens were in great shape. Fairways were ok. Tee boxes were mildly terrible.

Some really cool holes.

Another course I will come back too!

Had a great time playing this course. Played from the white teas and shot a 79. I loved the elevation changes and the course had some challenging holes. The greens were in good condition, the pace of play was great on a Thursday morning. The tee boxes needed some care but did not bother me. Much. Overall the layout was fun and I wil be back to play it again for sure. I normally never review a course but I thoroughly enjoyed the round and was a great price!

Great time just need to enforce pace of play

Had a great time today shot my best round yet with 80. I think the course is in great shape and well layed out. My only complaint would be the pace of play was super slow there was 3 different groups waiting to tee off at almost every hole and never saw a marshal to enforce the pace or tell the slow group holding everyone up to let everyone else play thru if they are gonna be that slow

Rough shape

Tee boxes are in very rough shape and even sometimes hard to find any decent grass. The price is right, but don’t have high expectations on the condition.

Nice Course but tees were rough

This was my 2nd time at this course in a week. I hadn't played here since last year. I noticed that several of the tees were is substandard condition. It seems like they should be moved more? Otherwise, the course itself was in decent shape.

The Back 9 is Awesome!

When I started at hole 1, I was not impressed at all. It wasn’t horrible, but not great at all. (Although…The fairways are very spacious.) Now, the back 9…awesome!! This place is a ski “resort” in the winter, and the holes are up and down on some pretty good hills. I loved it!

I like it because it’s very laid back, but don’t expect a pristine golf course!
