First Time Playing

Awesome experience

This was our first experience at this golf course. A friend of ours had told us about how beautiful this course was so we decided to give it a try. Would absolutely play this course again.

Nice course

We haven’t played this course in many years and decided try it again. Got a good deal on hot deals. We played on a Monday and the course was not very busy. Enjoyed our round and found the course was in good shape. Rough was not to long and greens were in great shape although they were slow.. Enjoyed our round and will play it again.

Great course

Taking into consideration with all the rain we have had, the course is in great shape. The greens are absolutely perfect. Challenging course with beautiful scenery. And, of course, there is always Heavenly 11, which is one of my favorite holes in the area. The course definitely challenges your game but is forgiving enough to where you don’t get hopelessly frustrated. One if the nicer courses around and the staff is awesome.

Not Golfnow Friendly

I was told “ I make no revenue from this “. So you will have to wait , even though the #1 Tee is clear until a three sum comes .

I won’t go back again !

Nice course

Great shape for this time of year. Only issue was how hard the greens were, couldn’t hold anything on approach shots.

Best course in the area

I have been playing this course for the last 3 years almost every day. The new golf pro Shane Stuart is fantastic and treats every golfer of skill level the same. The grounds crew keep the course looking fantastic all year round even tho they deal with flooding every year.

Entitled members

Nice local course with great views. Can't beat playing for 20 bucks during the week. If you come at the wrong time and get stuck behind a certain group of members (likely in a 5 some or more) be prepared to wait on every shot as they refuse to let anybody play through even a single. All in all wonderful challenge that can be a ball eater if you aren't straight off the tee.
