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.
