Good course near downtown

Well kept course with a fun layout. Greens are slower than some courses but great for beginners and intermediate players.

Course very dry due to weather

Greens putt well but will not hold

Except in front where water drains

Tees pretty beat up

Fairways not bad

Rough is cut to high for amount of clover

25$ golf course

Always something

I play pretty regularly all over the city but for some reason always get treated weird at this one course. This time the guy said I didn't pay for my round, even though I booked through GolfNow and told em so. After a few go rounds I finally pulled up the receipt. The guy finally threw the key down on desk in anger. Tired of giving this place my money

Municipal course

For a municipal course, it was a good shape and much harder than that the 117 slope indicated for the back tees. 200+ par 3's. A couple of really long par 5's. Wife played the red tees which were pushed up appropriately. A great course for a husband and wife group.

Group of 5 in front of us would not let us paly through until I came on tee and asked if we could play through. Isolated incident, but was incredible that we had to wait every shot as a twosome on a fivesome and they would not let us play through.

Smooth, true greens

I finally got out to play the grove last weekend, and it was a nice layout. The greens were the best part of the course. They rolled consistently and true. The rest of the course was average at best. Shaggy tee boxes and the bunkers left a lot to be desired. 6200 yards from the tips and the course has several long holes 2 450+ par fours And a 230 yard par 3. Fun round!
