Trying to be more than it is

This used to be a great cheap practice course. It had long wide fairways no rough, lots of trees and it was quiet. They don't water the course at all so the greens and fairways are rock hard. They raised their prices and it's no longer worth it. It is now more expensive than high quality courses in the area like nettle creek, pine hills, heritage bluffs etc.. They also used to let juniors golf for free with a paying adult. This brought out a lot of families. They reversed that and charge $36for a junior. No other course in the area charges over 20 for a junior. I used to go regularly, I probably will not golf there again. It's now practice course with a country club rate.s

Reasturant does have good food.

Needs More Info

The course was good for what it was. It is a 9 hole course that the 2nd 9 hole tees are not well identified. Otherwise it was a nice day to play and the course was in pretty good condition. Greens were in great shape.

In the description it should state that it is a nine hole course. I would not have played it if I had known in advance.
