Best value for golf

Fantastic staff and well

Kept course

Really need to have restroom and snack shop on the course. At minimum the old snack shop could be replaced by a food truck

Very slow play

It would have been nice if the range had come by just to move the slower players along.

Challenging 9

Nice 9-hole test

5th hole with water and elevated green often back up play.

Greens were good, fairways too.

Tees a little long.

Unfortunately, course condition usually goes down in the summer due to the volume of rounds.

Affordable public course

It’s a nice little 9 hole course. Good design for a city course, lots of different layouts. No par 5’s but not really necessary for a 9 hole course.

Overpriced!!!!!

The staff, course and even the riding cart were all a huge negative for my round. On top of all that it is ridiculous that to use a riding cart, the cost of playing a 9 hole county course, of this quality, is $35. They actually list that as a “Hot Deal” on the Golf Now site.
