Course was in the best shape I’ve ever seen. We haven’t played there since the summer of 2019 The guy at the pro shop checkout was very friendly. Only issue was at first tee.. there were 6 guys teeing off together which caused a backlog of wait time.

We decided to go to the back nine across the road, and things went smoothly the rest of the round. Would definitely come and play course again!

Great Value!

Gray value. If there was a practice range this would be a premium course.

Great course, fairways and greens in great condition ( on front none). Did not play back nine, back nine greens were being aerated. I definitely will be back.

Pace of play terrible

This course really needs a Ranger to keep pace of play. Numerous times we had 3 sets deep at a tee box. I understand it’s a holiday day but there’s no excuse waiting to tee off and watching the set in front of you searching for a ball in a hazard for 10 minutes while people have walked off the green 5 minutes ago and sets are piling up behind you to tee off. We cut our 18 in half and left after 3 hours to play 9. Course definitely needs a ranger. Everything else top notch!

Good course for the price.

Course was in decent shape. They are cutting a lot of trees out of the back nine making it more open.

Course was great!

Issue was.. we got stuck waiting 46 minutes to play the back nine because of a late running scramble. I will play the course again. Just not if they have a scramble that day.

Good Course

It’s a challenging beginner course. The fairways are narrow. The course is in great condition. Everyone I talked to there was extremely nice from the staff to the people playing golf. They have a ranger so the play was at a good speed.
