I am a beginning golfer and this course is great for beginners. Par 3’s are too short and the full courses are much to challenging right now. This was a nice competitive course for a fun quick 9.

Foot Golf and Golf Course are intertwined

The foot golf course is mostly designed to be side by side with the regular golf, but we found this to be disruptive to the golfers and for us foot golfers. By the 11th and 12th hole, us foot golfers were steered to completely shoot across fairways, golf balls flying semi close, because the layout is so bad by this part of the course. Other regular golfers were pretty confused by us and we felt pretty strange about it too and didn’t finish the course.

Excellent Public Course

Everything about this course is great. Layout is challenging, clean and kept up. The staff is friendly and helpful. Easy to get a tee time up to a week before. My friend and I play there regularly.

Hard (fairways) course!

The fairways were much drier than usual. If I had ever hit a good drive, it would have carried. So as a short hitter, I can't complain. Pace of play was okay; my group was a little slow.
