Could be better

Very dry fairways don’t water. Sand traps are the worst I’ve seen ever on a course some don’t even exist sonar it’s weeds. Very slow play hopefully this course can fix things up.

Not The Bourne

I didn’t realize it was only a 9 hole course or that it was closed for 4 years. I wouldn’t have booked 18 had I realized it’s only 9.

Good value

Good value for your money. This is a 9 hole course that is very golfer friendly to beginners. Fairways wide open with little to no hazards. Water only comes in play once. There are sand bunkers but not much sand in them. Greens are OK.

If your new to golf and just learning great course or if you want to work on you irons perfect place. We were not rushed and played at our own pace. Will go back

Great food!

The fact that this course was closed for several years and they are working on getting it back into shape, has to be taken into consideration. The fairways are nice, tee boxes are good. The greens still need some work though. Give it some time and I'm sure it will be a beautiful course again.

Good Value for 9/18 Holes

9 hole that you play twice, fairways are narrow... grass was long but assume that was due to all the rain... will give it a try again when it dries out. Good beginner course.

Nice and Easy

Great course for a beginner to get started with. Lots of room for mistakes without losing your balls. Course is relatively easy and very open. Beautiful trees but with wide fairways. Well maintained and well placed sand traps provide some challenge. Friendly staff and not crowded so you can play at a nice pace.

A Decent Course !

Not much to this 9 hole course but the greens were in good shape. There is not a lot of trouble as they are filling up most of the bunkers. It needs more challenging holes . I believe there is only 1 dog leg on the entire course.

Made Some Nice Improvements

Very nice greens with the exception of #9. Nice stone yardage markers. Never felt pushed.

We had an enjoyable round.

Needs some work

This golf course has changed ownership several times. Several trees are dead and marked to be taken out. The clubhouse isn't open until 11. The new management is a work in progress. The course needs some TLC. Ground under repair hasn't been repaired. Some traps are full of weeds and no sand. The greens are not extremely bad but not good in all areas. Overall the fairways are good.

Not bad for the money

Despite seeing a earlier review which gave a different picture of this course, I found the course to be well maintained, especially the greens. It is not a difficult course but there are a few holes that make it challenging. The tee boxes and traps were better then I thought they would be. The off course amenities in term of the bar/restaurant offers a decent atmosphere and good food. I will definitely return to enjoy this course in the future.
