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.

Great course for the price

The course was in good condition. Some of the bunkers were unkept, making it difficult to even play out of. The tees, fairways and greens were in fairly good condition, some of the normal problem areas but good as a whole. Course is not super difficult but can be challenging if not keeping the ball in play.

A good "golf dollar" value

I have played this course a lot in the last ten years...love the layout...and there are plenty of challenging holes, and holes you can score on. It just needs some care to smooth out some rough edges, particulary bunkers that at least need power raking....

Great course for the Money !!!!

Hard to beat this course for the money. They take very good care of the course. Only thing I don't like about it is they have WAY to many tiger woods wanna be's and it slows everybody down

Management Doesn't Care, Why Should You

Played here on a Saturday afternoon. The course had a scramble going on that went off sometime late in the morning. The guys playing in the scramble were a total joke. Drunk, loud, not keeping pace, driving the carts over the greens, pretty much doing whatever they wanted. For the final 4 holes, this scramble had 12 guys playing the same hole. Never seen anything like it.

The worst part though is that the course did nothing. And, they knew about the problems. Both the ranger and the cart guy drove pass on numerous occasions and saw what was going on. Did they do or say anything, of course not. When I finished and talked with the pro shop, they claimed to know nothing. What a joke.

I realize that the scramble brought in good cash for the club, but you can't allow a group to become a detriment to the course and the other customers. Too bad, as this is a nice course and a good value.

Good value

Played early Saturday afternoon after booking a great deal on Golfnow.com. Course in good shape but some bunkers were holding water. Great value with the Golfnow deal. We didnt spend much time in the clubhouse to give a fair review of it.
