Really nice 9 hole with some smells

This place is a very good value and is kept in really nice shape. My only improvements to this place would be that the greens don’t really roll true and on hole 8 there is a pond on the left hand side and yesterday there were 7-8 dead fish washed up to the bank of the fairway. Not sure what’s going on in that pond but hole 8 just smells like fish when you’re by the green

Staff Guy Sucked

The staff guy was a jerk and should not treat customers by belittling them and being irrationally disrespectful for no reason.

Superior qualified staff

Mark the course manager was excellent. He made sure everyone got off in time and that everyone knew who they were playing with. He came out to the tee box and suggested to a golfer who was in front of the tee box to the side to move in back of the tee box. good thing because this person would have been hit by a drive that went directly where that person was standing. He also told the 4 woman who were backing up the golf course with 3 foursomes on a box behind that they needed to move their pace up. Anyway very impressed with his management and control of the course. The course was in very good condition and busy.

Always a good choice

Consistently the best mix of cost/fun on a 9 hole course around.

Narrow fairways and a couple of well designed finishing holes. This is a excellent 9 hole course to walk.
