Great course, great people. And, it's cheap.

It's the middle of November and they had a full crew of grounds people taking care of the course. That is why this course always looks so nice. The staff are always super nice. And, they are open year round if it warms up a bit.

This course is terrible

I play a lot of golfnow deals and this is the first time I've felt I paid way too much for the course... 25 bucks for a Sunday and it was a 5 hour round through the 15 holes we played before we had to leave. The course was in terrible condition and there was no staff to speak of to help keep up the rate of play. If you don't care about the course conditions and you can find it for under 10 bucks on a weekday when there aren't 3 groups on each hole play it (but I wouldn't).

Quality course for the money

I happened to get out on a weekday when it wasn't busy at all and played at my own pace never waiting the entire round. Played 18 holes in just about 3 hrs. Greens roll nice, the course is green despite a dry summer. It provides a challenge with 3 sets of tees. Play the tips at almost 7,000 yards. Fairly open but plenty of water and OB trouble can get you if you're wild. Love this course and play it often.

Rained out

Tried to get out, but was rained out, but money was redeemed, told I'd have to call golf now for refund of per person fee, wanted a rain c heck and was a little disappointed they wouldn't accommodate , but it was fine I guess, didn't like losing the nearly $8 in fees though.

Great course you can play at 6900 yards+ from the tips

Love the course. We all had a great time. Very children friendly with the junior tees. We had an 11 and 13 year old out on a Sunday afternoon and they had a blast.

buncha hackers

by hole number 13, it had gotten so backed up with hackers that i counted 10, count 'em, TEN carts!!!! "is that even possible?", i asked myself and apparently the answer is yes. my group decided we had enough waiting and just decided to play the front 9 again. also, the group behind us called it a day after they saw that we left. besides this minor speedbump, the course is still in solid conditions and would recommend this course to anyone who's willing to wait on every hole

Great deal

Good condition. Decent pace for weekend golf not much waiting. Traps were a little inconsistent. I would recommend this course. For the price it is a great deal. It is worth twice the price.

Great course for tha $$$!

The course was in excellent shape with fast, smooth greens and well maintained fairways. It only took us a little over 3 hours for our threesome to complete our round and we didn't have to wait on one hole. I would definitely play here again, especially since it only cost $19 for 18 holes with a cart after booking through Golfnow!

Watch out for league nights!!

I've played this course a few times since it is close. Always have been happy with the course conditions. Good layout. The only issue is with the leagues at times. There was a seniors league teeing off on back 9 and a men's league teeing off on the front 9 when my tee time came up. Foursomes. I kinda got bogged down with that. However, this was the first time I've had this problem, and I've played the course about 4 times. Now I know to make sure and call ahead to see about any league activity so that I can plan accordingly. Good restaurant with a decent menu in the clubhouse as well. $2-$3 draft beers is always a plus!!

Hidden gem

Love this course. It has a bit of everything. Lot's of bunkers surrounding the greens, but the greens play true. Enough challenges to use every club in your bag, but you won't lose many balls here. Played this course at different times of the year and it's always green and in good shape. Greens fees are as cheap as any I've found, though it is a bit of a drive for most.

Great value

I've played this course before, and it is in great condition from the tee to green. The greens were the best I've seen in the area where I golf on a regular basis. The rates are low for such a gem of a course. Would highly recommend playing here. Great staff too.

It was a nice golf course.

I was happy with it just the pace was very slow. The group ahead of us just took a very long time and backed up play. We ended up only playing 11 holes and we left because it was slow and we just couldn't wait any longer

Good value, too many first timers.

I am a 15 so I am not that good, but way too many Duffers here taking snowmen. Rangers need to speed things up. 5 hour rounds are a bit much.
