Amazing Conditions for the time of year!!!

Great conditions. Course was a little smaller for my liking but the greens sure didn’t have any issues eating up my strokes! I would 100% go back!

Great course

It rained the weekend before but the first cut of rough is pretty tall and hard to hit from.

Slow greens, well kept course

Parking is pretty confusing if you’re not familiar with the area. My GPS has me park on Caldwell, but the entrance and clubhouse are off Howard. The clubhouse is tied to the bar/restaurant, which also wasn’t clear upon entering - I had to go ask the starter where to go.

The course itself is in very nice shape. Tee boxes are in good condition, fairways are nice. Very short par 4’s.

Greens were ridiculously slow - slowest I’ve played all year. It looked like they were growing them out a bit due to lack of rain recently. That said, they were borderline shaggy when I played.

Overall, I thought it was good value. Wish the greens were faster, but a far superior course value compared to other 9-hole courses that I’ve played in the close vicinity (Caldwell, Robert Black) in my opinion.
