Nice layout, jammed tee box

Course itself is great for 9 holes but the pace of play is atrocious. 9 holes shouldn’t take 3 hours

Closed course

Golf Now was selling tee times for Sunday, I amongst others bought a tee time. Mine was at 11.04am. When I arrived to the golf course, it was closed and no one was there. No notification at all. I had paid in full and called Golf Now customer service. I still have not be refunded my money yet.

The only reason I am giving this day full starts is for times I have played there before. I don’t know if the sale of tee times for this day was Golf Now’s fault or the course.

Great course and very well maintained!

This is my favorite 9 hole course. Not one fairway is completely flat and it has inclines, small hills, creeks, water, sand traps and ravines. It is also very well maintained and friendly staff.

Good course, some tough holes but well kept

A little too expensive for a 9 hole but golf everywhere has been expensive. Very nice conditions and greens.

Need a Ranger

I was behind a slow group and in front of a group of speed walkers. Combine that with people not staying in their lane or not watching before they crossed fairways. Got to the point where I drove in on the 7th hole.
