Great Course! Easy Starter.

This course was a great starter to moderate course. Had a great time and it was peaceful out there. Staff was very friendly. A decent amount of shorter holes for kids or beginners, but enough challenge to keep you interested! Great for 9 or 18.

Water the greens!

Nice course with nothing but par 3's and par 4's. Not many water hazards and some challenging hole placements.
July has been a little dry, but some of the greens need to be watered. Several of the greens were brown and just bone dry. I aimed for 10 yards ahead of the greens on my approach shots due to the bounce and roll of the greens.

Poor Conditions

We played the Blue 9 yesterday and were very disappointed in the course conditions. Although we can't blame the course for the wet conditions we wish they could have sprayed for bugs, the mosquitoes were crazy for the noon hour. The tee boxes were in very poor shape and it doesn't look like anyone ever fixes their ball marks on the greens. The staff was really friendly and we noticed they play foot golf there on the weekends, probably a better time than trying to shoot irons through power lines.

Excellent course. Not the hardest in the world but it tests beginners and offers a course where you are challenged but still able to enjoy the game

Decent For A Knock-around Course

The course is good if you want to get a quick round in after work. Upkeep on the fairways and greens is ok. Not the best, but not the worst. Decent price as well. Very short holes. Didn't use my driver once. Good beginners course. One downfall was they had some new "soccer golf" thing set up. Don't know what that is about, but there were flagsticks all over the place for it. Kind of threw us off on a couple holes.

Great Place to Practice

I used a $30 Hot Deal to book a time for me and my beginner spouse. It was essentially the same cost as going to a range to hit balls. Its a nice executive course, long enough that I used all 14 clubs but short enough that she could get to the green in a reasonable amount of strokes on most holes too.
It was an inexpensive practice round.

Waste of Time

Course is a joke. Power line tower basically in fair way.

Footgolf was being played. Not worth the time or money.

Nice place for a quick round

Overall the course is a great value for the money. It's a great place to take a beginner. It's very short. And I don't remember any true par 5's but the greens though dry rolled true. The staff is outstanding and super friendly

Good course for those that want to play nine holes that are not too long or difficult. It is especially good for beginners of all ages.

With a Golf Now Coupon or a Groupon it's not bad

The Tees were ROUGH ! And I use that word loosely ! I do not think there was a single place to stand on any of the Tees that was without a divot ! But, with a Coupon for 18 and a Cart for $20 ? I can rough it !

Good course. A bit expensive. 2 9-holes.

Good fun course. If you're looking to drive play the blue course. White course is short and all of the tee boxes feature the same distance for 6 holes (150-160 yds). A few of the markers for the tees were off between 10-20 yds.

We played for a good rate but then got charged a lot for a replay rate at the course for another 9-hole experience, not 18. They do not discount that you already paid for the cart, and charge you again for a replay.

Friendly staff that are very well informed. Course is beautiful but needed to be watered. Greens were medium speed.

Overall good course if you get a deal on golfnow.com

The ambiance of the course is what draws me to it!

My son and I came out to enjoy a round of golf on my Birthday! this is exactly what we got! We are not the best golfers by far; still we made some awesome shots and enjoyed each others company without being rushed or having to be paired with 2 others! we got to be with just us and the day was an awesome Birthday present to me, not to mention, my son almost scored a Hole-In-One on the final hole! I would always like to play for less and if you can handle that than we might play here more often. Thanx again for a most memorable Birthday.
