Short Course

With road construction they have had to modify the course from its initial layout. Still fun to play all the par 3s.

First Time Playing

Great over all course

This was my first time playing this course and the first time my kids ever played (11 and 13). Staff was super friendly and the course was great, fairways are a little narrow for new players, but there are also no sand traps so that was a plus.

Fall Golf

The greens are in excellent condition with challenging breaking putts.

Fun course. A couple holes hitting over water so you cannot just run it onto the green.
