The greens a little rough

They need to maintain the greens a little better! The GPS monitor kept flashing 'Stay on pace'. We finished the round in just less than 4 hours! Our pace of play was very good! It was very annoying to keep getting that message!

Fun layout, horrendous pace of play

This is a fun, quirky layout with a lot of unusual holes. Typically in good shape, though pretty beat up right now. My only issue here is the pace of play is terrible. You’re lucky to get in under 4.5, which is crazy for a par 70 on a small property. They also do nothing to try to move people along (did not see a single ranger out all afternoon yesterday). If you can play this place in the spring or fall when there’s less foot traffic, go for it. In the summer, if you don’t like 5 minute waits on every single tee, there’s a lot of better options.

Greens and areas surrounding the greens got the best of me

Course was in very good shape. Greens were super fast and true. Bunch of holes where ball ran thru green. Rough around greens was thick! Very hard to control pitches and chips. Needed a better shot coming into greens. Bunkers were all in great shape. I need some more rounds on course to know best places to come into greens. A lot of excitement and electricity around course with all of the of the young kids practicing and enjoying an afternoon or golf

Greens

Course was in fair shape overall. Very short from the tips. Felt the course tries to make up for its length by throwing in big undulating greens every other hole. With the recent redesign they may have been better suited accepting a more scoreable course rather than do that with the greens. Felt gimmicky. If I wanted Mickey Mouse greens I would have went to Disney World (but hey I suck at putting anyway)

Other than that, it played okay. Practice facilities were very nice.

Worth checking out if you know what you’re getting into. Wouldn’t want to play here more than once a season.

JUST GO PLAY THERE!

Great layout - tees, fairways, traps, greens all in wonderful shape. Chipping and putting must be really good to play this course. The challenge is not to 3 putt.

You honestly can’t beat this course for the price! Very nice public course, but the greens are pretty ridiculous…. I mean the best of the best would have trouble with these greens…. Very well kept just PGA level tough!! But still fun while being extremely challenging. Def recommend
