Always a great experience

Easy check-in on time tee off. We walked using the pull carts (My only criticism is many of the carts need repairs/parts)

Outdoor grill was operational and the service/food was above average.

Unique corse

The fairways, especially the 9th, are more plush than most course's greens! I'll never play in Scotland so this is as close as I will get. Excellent and unique.

One of the best Friday afternoon golf you can do in the suburbs at that price.

Nice 9 hole course

Fun to play. My only issue is that some of the cart paths did not indicate the direction to the next hole.

Nice for nine

Some of the course under repair. Good for the average golfer. A true nine hole course.

Nice views of the area.

Overall - Great but a Couple Issues

For the price, great track to play. However, trucks throwing dust in the air as you walk to one of the tee boxes was seriously unnecessary and disruptive. With all that dirt, tee boxes could be level. Several made driving like you were on an uphill or downhill lie. Fix it.
