Slow play

Unfortunately there was an outing that we didn’t know about. Many of the players were not golfers and took forever to finish a hole. We quit after 14 holes because we were already out there for almost 4 hours. We should have been told about the outing and given us a later tee time.

Very disappointed.

Course in terrible shape. Women's tee box simply short cut grass on side of fairway, not level or cared for and very poor. Many fairways like a pasture, tons of clover, weeds. I was expecting a nice course and it could be it has a nice layout. It needs Lots of work, won't be returning there anytime soon. There are so many nicer courses for the money.

Hot, Hot, Hot.

With highs in the 90’s during my round, and the days prior, the course was in surprisingly good shape. A few dead patches here and there, but overall, good shape! Course was slightly busier than I expected, but was able to play through a handful of groups as a single, and completed my round in 2h 11m still.

Quick 9

Course has some new investments that look great! Fairways and tee boxes still need some love. Greens are fun and in decent shape, but need folks to repair ball marks!!!🤬 need to add divot mix in the carts.

Fun for the money.

Considering our Spring...

this should probably be a 7 star review.

The course is in good shape despite of all the rain we've had this spring. Drainage must be good because even the lowest spots weren't particularly soupy. Carts were allowed on the course and in the fairways. Many of the tee boxes need work to fill divots and reseed. The course is in the middle of farm country but there is some rolling hill terrain to the course.
