Tam revisited

60 years ago I saw an amateur shoot 30 on front nine at Tam I Shanter that kid was Jack Nicklaus

Today I play the most beautiful and professional nine hole course ever

I will definitely be back

Great fairways

The fairways were better than the greens at most public courses

Good variety

Fun course. Relatively narrow fairways. Has its share of older golfers on weekdays so can be slow.

Excellent starting course

Great little course for practicing beginners and advanced players. The fairways & greens are well maintained. Love it when you don’t have time for 18 holes.

course and restaurant

course was fun to play. wife and i enjoyed. restaurant was ok.wife said her salad was good but not enough dressing. i had a burger with fries. burger was little dry not juicy. fries were terrible to skinny and over cooked did not even eat them. waitress was ready if we wanted something.she did a good job. liked the bar eating area was nice with a friendly atmosphere.
