Great beginner course!!

If you’re a beginner or don’t care for any of the extras at a golf course this a great value. If you just want to pick up your clubs and play, do it here. I’ve played much nicer courses but I’ll come back here because the staff is friendly and the ease of playing the course is great. Don’t expect any amenities, just a great place to pick up your clubs and go play. Course is very forgiving with few hazards/chances to lose your ball. Will come back for sure as I look to improve my game

Great course

Best value for the money in a large area if you just want to play 9 holes. Pace of play can be a bit slow at times depending on the day but it's fast enough. Bunkers are not in great condition but are still usable. The range would be a lot better if it was off of the grass instead of mats and rubber tees.

It's my go-to course for 9 holes, would definitely recommend. Also great for beginners or casual players because it's not a long course and it has four Par 3's.

We were graciously welcomed when we entered the facility & were escorted to the tee area to make sure who we followed. Pace of play was amazing. A little wait at the tee box but allowed an opportunity to chat. Greens were true, not much break, nor that I can see any. 😂 Had some challenging but fun water hazards. The high light was when we heard an odd bird sound. I hit another bad shot & hit a tree. And surprise!!! A bald Eagle came flying out of a nearby tree, circles & buzzed the tower. So cool!!! It’s a ride from Chicago but will return. Thank you!!!
