overall the course was average. would have a much better rating if not for the sand traps,( rocks & stones) and the tee off area was uneven and poorly maintained. these need proper attention.

Disappointing experience

They try to fit as many players as they can before a league tees off and then it bogs everything down

Pleasantly surprised

It’s been decades since I last played here and am happy to get reacquainted. Course is in really nice shape and the greens are smooth and true. Way more water hazards than I remember but they may have been added since my last visit in the 90’s. Good halfway house directly across from 10th tee makes it a quick stop for something grilled right there at the turn. Will definitely play again and bring extra balls next time.

Nice course

Fairways were in great shape.

Greens rolled semi slow but true.

Layout is fair, some challenges.

Cashier was a MOPE!

But overall a nice round.

Too expensive compared to other courses in area

We were looking for a place to play on Labor Day and most morning tee times were still available less than a week out. It became apparent that this was due to value for the money.

It is just too expensive when nicer, better kept courses in the area are $20 to $30 a round cheaper.

It’s Okay

This is an average course for a reasonable price. However, tee boxes were in bad shape, full of divots and uneven. Golfers and green keeper need to be more considerate to repair ball marks on greens as there were unrepaired ball marks on every green.

The golf cart did not have any seed mix to repair fairway divots. Sand traps are hard making it difficult to hit from traps. The course has potential but needs improved maintenance… a bit disappointing.

Ok course. A little pricey for what you get.

Course is in good shape. There are some challenging holes but pace of play was slow as we started later than our morning tee time. There are no signs but the driving range is irons only.

Waste of time & money

The course is jammed into a small area with holes right on top of each other. Also apartment buildings are 10 yards off the fairways. Fairways not cut, tee boxes are a mess. $87,00 is a ridiculous price, it’s a $50.00 course at best. Way too many other courses to play for that money.

Pace of play was horrible

We teed off at 10:33 on a Wednesday and by the 6th hole, there was a full two holes open in front of the group in front of us. We hoped to pass them at the 10th, but they didn’t stop at the halfway house and caught up to the group in front of us. By the 11th hole, we were already a full hole behind and it kept getting worse and worse. We asked the bev cart girl about a ranger and she said the only way they act on a slow group is for us to call the pro shop and then they will send someone out to check. We didn’t do that and gave up on the 16th hole to skip the group at play the 18th that was wide open. I stopped in the pro shop after and told the person behind the desk that the pace was horrible and asked about a ranger… and she said, yeah, we don’t have one every day. And, then, she stared at me. I said that an apology would have been nice, but she continued to stare at me. With so many courses around and with the condition of the tee boxes, I’ll never be back and you shouldn’t go, either. A terrible experience and pace on a Wednesday! Unreal!
