Slow play and terrible greens

No rangers monitoring pace... Greens full of ball marks and divots... more areas under repair than any couse I have ever seen.

Fun but difficult

This course is challenging because it demands that you hit the greens. Miss by a yard off the side and lose 2 strokes. This, to me, is a fun deviation from most public courses in the area. Where the course misses the mark is on some of their pin locations and green designs. Even if you land the ball pin-high, center of the green, you are often still penalized by a double-breaking, severely uphill putt. Some people might get more frustrated than usual out here.

Challenging and playable!

Greens are truly amazing and course layout is remarkable for an inner city muni course!

Second time I played here after remodel and wonder why I haven’t come back more often——-I think prime times are hard to book

Its Worth It

I played this course close to a 1000 times about 50 years ago when I was in High School. Its been redone and its a very different course. The greens are great and have much more contour than they used to have. They are also very quick. Many of the tee shots are blind, which makes it a bit more challenging. I certainly don't hit it as far as I used to, but I thought it still played short from the silver tees. The course was in great shape and I plan on getting out here again.

Clown greens

Expect to three putt everything. Don't pay for a cart, they likely have groups going every 10 mins and it will be pretty jammed up.

Miniature golf greens

This course is overplayed and poorly kept. Nobody replaces divots and nobody repairs ball marks. They don't do anything to keep the tee boxes in good shape. If you like sand traps we'll this course is perfect. If your 5 yards left or right your ball will l hit the mound and roll in. Then you get to hit on to rollercoaster greens. What's sad is with all the undulations, they put the pins in super tough positions. The goal is to two putt. You will three putt these greens many times. Also what's sad is I'm so close to this course that I could walk there and I still won't play it. It's alsol expensive with how they maintain the it . Plenty of other courses to play. Stay away from this nitemare

Very nice muni course

Very good although short course. Greens are challenging. Design is thought provoking as far as strategy. They have a great Himalaya practice green, short game practice area & driving range.

tremendous value

First time playing this course and thoroughly enjoyed our round of golf.

We had a mix up in the tee time when we arrived to check in and they handled it most professionally . The staff were excellent and the facilities are set up like a country club. The course was in excellent condition from the fairways to rough to the greens. Looking forward to playing this course again.
