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.

Easy and fast

Has fun holes, and it plays fast. It is walkable, but we took a cart. The two of us played in an hour and a w.

Not a good experience

Horrible first time experience here. Took a friend who wanted to work on their game here. Was told it was a good beginner course. Was held up by a group in front. we did not mind but once it was our turn the owner was hassling and rushing us the whole time. Was consistently told one practice swing only and then to move on. Also told not to pursue balls even when they were near us. Definitely seemed like they were more concerned about selling as many tee times as possible instead of insuring clients were having a good time. I have never experienced this anywhere else. Golf is my time to relax and unwind. Did not feel valued or respected. Would not recommend this course.

First Time Playing

Not a great experience. Took a friend who was interested in developing his game and was rushed and hassled the whole time. Delay was caused by a father and son in front of us. We did not mind and no one rushed them but once it was our turn we were consistently told to rush through one practice swing and then move on by the owner. He seemed more concerned with selling as many tee times as possible instead of making sure clients were happy and taken care of. If you are looking to go out relax and unwind this is not the course for you. There are far better courses near by.
