Mower

The felon driving the double mower is a major A hole. He needs a real attitude adjustment. He purposely ran over my ball and has the audacity to stop by me and give me attitude.

Great value

Great course for the price. Staff is generally friendly and helpful. Minimal pro shop with very few selections. Very nice practice green and grass driving range is a plus. It's my go to. 27 holes makes it very replaceable. Doesn't feel like they stuck 27 holes where it didn't belong, very large property

Traps need sand

Overall course condition was good except for compacted sand traps and little sand on them.

This is a good practice course for a variety of lies and angles. Longish drive but worth it.

Smooth

Staff friendly. Able to tee off a few minutes before scheduled tee time. Joined 2 golfers on 1st tee. They were pretty good golfers so the day went well. I was able to hit tee shots straight and all went over 225 yards. Play was well paced. Caught upto group ahead of us and had to wait just a little before hitting our shots. Played the round in just under 4 hours. Fun time has by all.

RUDEST GROUNDKEEPER I'VE EVER MET!!!!

If you want a eude groundskeeper driving in front of you while you're teeing off, then this is the place for you. Rudest groundskeeper with a mouthy attitude. I'll go somewhere else where my money is appreciated.

Well maintained hidden secret.

The greens here are what really make this course a great value. Some of the smoothest rolling well mai tai Ed public greens in the area. The rough gets thick in the fall.

Not the longest, so if you’re a big hitter you’ll find yourself leaving the drive rin the bag most of the day. , but a good variety of shots throughout.

Overall a great maintained course for the money.

RUDEST GROUNDS KEEPER

Had the smart mouthed groundskeeper follow us with his lawnmower for about 5 holes. When we asked him if he was going to keep following us, he shot off his mouth by asking us if we wanted him to keep following us. At one point he drove straight towards us as we were in the middle of teeing off. RUDEST GROUNDSKEEPER I'VE EVER MET. PLENTY OF OTHER COURSES TO PLAY WITHOUT RUDENESS.

Nice Practice Course

I come here to play a quick 9 on the weekends when I'm in the area at my Lake House. They have 3 nine hole courses they switch out everyday depending if you're playing 9 or 18. The greens are very nice but small, the sand traps are awful, half dirt, half sand. The grass is usually a bit high. The water hazards are Ponds off to the side of the holes or in the back, nothing very scenic. They have a driving range, practice sand and green area which is helpful. The bar/restaurant seemed cool but I have not experienced it yet.
