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.

Had a decent time pace of play was a bit slow. The greens are an absolute joke … it’s like a circus putting

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

Lots of bang for the buck

Played here for the first time today. Course is in excellent condition. Pins were in tourney positions for a local Junior Championship playing a little later. That made for way too many 3-putts for me, but that’s my weak link, anyway.

Bottom line is that the course is in excellent shape with the best tees I’ve seen in months. Pace of play was excellent at about 3:50 on a Wednesday morning. The staff was very friendly throughout. Shout out to starter Jim and sorry to the groundskeeper whose cart I bounced a ball off of.

Will definitely return.

Hidden Gem

Challenging course that isn’t really long, but has tough undulating greens with some long par 4’s peppered in. The staff was extremely pleasant.

Okay course

The course conditions were not that great. A lot of dry spots on the greens and lots and lots of divots throughout every fairway. Great warm up and practice areas
