It's a nice place to golf

It's a good place to golf, however starting to get a bit pricey!

Greens were fair, but a little bumpy. Fairways were mostly hard pan.

Course Closed Without Notice

Arrived at the course and there was no one in the clubhouse or pro shop. We were told by other golfers that there were no carts and that they had been stolen. Understood....but how do you not address this directly with incoming customers? Someone was on the premises but they did not answer the door upon knocking. Why would you allow customers to pay fees online for carts you do not have. I'm appalled at the level of unprofessionalism we experienced. Very disappointed as this was our first round of the season.

Perfect day

55 degrees in mid November. What more can you ask for except to spend it on a golf course. Leaves were well taken care of. Did not lose a single ball the entire day. Only had to dig around once. Always love this course.

Great score

Grounds were in good shape, but it was wet and there was some standing water to contend with. Lots of leaves made it harder to find balls in the fairway or first cut.

Greens were very receptive due to rain the night before.

This is a good course for the intermediate golfer. Many open holes, but there are several bowling alley drives that will drive you nuts if you can't hit straight.

Typically its very slow plan. Due to weather, this time it was fast with no hold ups.
