fun, open, dog-leg angles, wide fairways

great fun course! we had a hodgepodge of tee times for a foursome and they squeezed us in perfectly. never waited on a tee box (we were behind a twosome) and no one behind us for at least 2 holes the entire round!

there was a league that was starting when we turned for the back nine but league players were super respectful of groups making the turn! thanks gents for not jumping in front of us!!

course itself is fun, open, big fairways, nice greens. there are several really cool 90 degree dog-leg holes. par 3's could play long or short depending on tee box selected. rates are very reasonable as they are a little further from city/burbs.

we will definitely play here again! if you have time to drive here, play it. it's fun course! especially for the great pricing!

Good value, slow play

The course is fairly open, but some challenging areas/water. Great value. The pace on our day was pretty slow (4:45). Good range to warm up (not included).

Make sure to let the starter know you are there so he does not skip you. We were on the practice green watching the group in front of us tee off and there starter inserted the group behind us to the tee because they were there even though we were at the tee 8 minutes before our slot.

Slow day on a nice course

Unfortunately our threesome was stuck behind two foursomes, one “very”senior and the other playing blue tees (6400 yds) with no business doing so. 4 hrs 45 mins later, our time-worn group rolled off the course, with scores that reflected our weariness. Waiting on every stroke is not conducive to good scores and attitudes. I doubt if there was much the course could have done to remedy the situation, just one of those things, but… have to call it as I see it.

Course was at 90-degree rule - not a problem. Fairways, greens, t-boxes in nice shape. Sand traps mostly unplayable with water from recent rain. We granted free drops outside. Brand new carts - nice, but should be electric. Still a great value course, just a bad stroke of luck behind very slow groups.

Stood the test

The course was in amazing shape considering all the rain for the past two days. We used cart path and 90 degree rule. But the course was in great shape and may the round very enjoyable
