Excellent 9 hole course with great clubhouse atmosphere!

I played here on a Thursday evening and the clubhouse patio food/bar area was hopping which was really nice to see. I loved this course. It was in great condition, is nestled amongst large beautiful trees and has a few simple little par 3's that provide opportunities to get really close to the pin. I'll definitely be back!

Great Option for a 9

Came into our round a little skeptical at first, spoke with a guy behind us and he said it’s a lot of inexperienced golfers (which is true). Turned out to be some great greens and enjoyable par 4s. Highly recommend this place for anyone in the city needing a quick fix. If you have the patience for a few bad shots from fellow golfers, it’s well worth it. Restaurant is also great with super cheap beer and food, great Monday to start the week!

Great course

Gentleman working the check in counter, definitely an older retired white Caucasian was very rude. Didn’t acknowledge us, or say hello. My party was coming from the far suburbs and got confused where to pull in and park so we were literally 1 minute late. We say “good morning” as we walk up and because it’s a beautiful Saturday and this old guy “yells at us, “you’re late!” Then he says hurry up go run up to the tee, we had no idea where it was or that it had been moved because of renovations. We spoke to another staff member much younger and nicer, saying that most of the old guys are sticklers and we should just give it back to them. Anyway, not a good person to have as your check in guy, grump old man. Hope next time he pull that stick out of his butt.
