Fun Weekend Course

Me and my friends played this course on a Friday morning. It was a clear day and it was very easy to go out and have a good time. The course wasn't too busy and I had a lot of fun. I would recommend playing here.

Fun little gem

Played this course on a random Tuesday morning looking to try a new course out. Was pleasantly surprised as I had intermediate expectations due to the low price. Greens were pure, fairways were soft and fluffy, and for the low overall yardage of the course I found it pretty challenging still as a high handicapper. Would highly recommend to anyone near, and will definitely be back to play here and to try out the course across the street !

Great 9 hole course

For the price you can't beat this course. For April the course is in good condition. It is great when you want to get a quick round in. We played around 12:30 pm, we had a tee time for 2 people. We did not get paired up with anyone and our rate of play was great.

No frills

Decent little 9-hole track. Small greens but no sand. Pace of play was poor on this day - too many two-somes. They need to force some of those two-domes and singles to play together.
