Budget golf, but not value for money

It's clear people don't care about this course. I played the Blue 9 and every green has at least 6 significant ball marks. There is no starter and no ranger, which led me to pay behind a sixsome that had no concept of efficient play.

There are also noisy high tension power lines going through the course that can impact fairest bound tee shots. It was unnerving.

If you are looking for a short course that you can hack around on, it's not a bad option, but it's the Spirit Airlines of courses. You won't find many single digit handicaps on the course either.

I won't be returning to this course.

Great Course for Beginners

Overall, we had a good time at the course. We had a team outing with 19 individuals, skills ranging from beginner to Advanced. Everyone had an enjoyable experience, and we would come back for another round with the team.

The layout of the course was a little difficult to follow, as some holes you had to back track to find and there is a lack of signage directing you to the next hole. EXAMPLE: On the Blue course, a couple teams went to the 8th hole on the White Course and realized they went wrong when it was time to tee off on the 9th hole, because we did that one earlier when we did the 9 holes on the White Course, so we had to backtrack to find the 9th hole on the Blue Course.

Also, we had planned on stopping for lunch after the first 9 holes and when we arrived at the Bar & Grill around 12pm, we were told the "Chef" wasn't in and would have a 20–30-minute wait for them to arrive, so we skipped lunch and played through.

As mentioned earlier, OVERALL, this was a nice course, and we had a great time. The course is all PAR 3 & PAR 4 holes AND most holes are straight on, with minimal sand/water hazards. Beginners do not have to worry about figuring out how far the "water hazard" or "sand traps" or "doglegs" are and can just focus on hitting the ball straight and playing through.

One step above a par 3 course.

Great for beginners to understand courses and extremely walkable. Layout is very tight so keep your head on a swivel
