Decent course

Overall had a great time playing 18 holes. The greens are a little rough but I feel as summer goes it will be better.

Absolutely terrible

To call this place a goat ranch is a compliment… can’t say there are fairways it’s all the same bluegrass just mowed shorter some weeks .. so called fairways are hard pan and dirt patches … greens are a complete mess … golf staff inside pro shop and rangers are clueless about golf and etiquette place is run by bunch of red necks who have no business working in golf industry… STAY AWAY FROM THIS DUMPSTER FIRE!!

Place is a dump

This place is run by the county and it shows … lack of staff shows in pro shop and golf course course needs a lot of work… for the price there are plenty of other courses to play

Great Course

Challenging course. The staff is very kind and helpful. The clientele is super friendly. I never have to worry about who I’m gonna play with when I’m paired up with other players.

Not good

No way this is a $45 course, esp this late in the year. This is $30 tops. Fairways like hitting off of cement and greens in very poor condition with dead patches a bare dirt throughout. Absolutely brutal pace of play as course was filled with weekend hackers with zero course etiquette. Took the very slow foursome in front of us 8 holes before they let my twosome pass. There’s a ranger but he definitely wasn’t doing any “ranging”. So many better options in the area.
