Poorly Managed

Course was very slow. Grass on the tee boxes was pretty long. Greens varied significantly in speed. Course isn’t in especially good condition and wouldn’t be particularly challenging if it were. Still better than other nearby public courses, but it’s far from a golf destination.

Not a good value

Course isn’t in great shape. Though it seems short, all the par 4’s are long and par 3’s short. Dumb layout. Not worth the $70 at all. Having said that, The cart GPS’s are great, the beverage cart came around three times per 9 for us on a busy day which is incredible and the food at the turn was really good for a golf course.

Awesome course great value

Love playing here bc it’s so close to the city. Course is hard. Not sure who rated it 128 slope but maybe they are the worlds best putter bc they are insane. These greens are almost always at a 12 so hard and so challenging. Really need to hit tight approach shots

Love how challenging it is on the greens.

Still relevant

I’m a little biased because I was taught (and still in need of more lessons) the game at WGC. The course still sets up to reward the fairway , regardless of how far you hit it. Greens are large, sloped, some times fast, and (pro tip) if you look at the direction of mowing, it dictates the movement and speed. Miss the green and getting up and down isn’t fun - neither is hitting the green, but on the wrong side of the hole.

Restaurant is currently undergoing a renovation/operational change, but they have tons of seating and a grill set up outside for a bee and a bite. It’s not the old “Inn Between”, but it will do.

They do a great job here and the experience here is welcoming. Enjoy the golf and fix your pitch marks.

Good not great

An above average public course. Greens and traps well maintained. Tight geography so balls routinely in other fairways. Back 9 tougher than front. Can be crowded so expect 4.5 round. For the price s solid option.
