Really great course for new golfers!

This course is perfect if you’re still learning and trying to get a hold of things in the game! Especially if you don’t wanna be constantly played into.

Nice tranquil course, wildlife around. Good conditions too.

Several hold ups on front nine…a 4-some of young players, only one of which realized there were other players out there too. Very nice ladies 4-some who allowed us thru after 4 holes…and an elderly single who didn’t want to be held up playing by with anybody but was slooow himself. Back nine was quick, whole course is in nice condition.

Just don’t expect playing speed unless you get lucky to hit it at slow time.

Excellent!!

I want to say the staff was great but that’s doing them a disservice. Here’s the scoop…we had severe thunderstorms roll in ahead of our tee time, dumping 1.5-2” of rain on the course. My buddy and I had driven 3 hours to play here and a few of the other local courses. Due to the rain, it was “walking only”. We were cool with that. Gordon, who runs the front, and Gary, the head honcho, were excellent!! You can tell that they cared for the course, but also understood the love of the game…they allowed us to go out there. The course drained extremely well in a short time. Yea the walking sucked, but the staff and the course, which was very well maintained, definitely made it worth it. The course itself has plenty of distance and challenge. Lots of doglegs and tight lies. Course is tree lined but relatively open, and greens were extremely difficult. Even with all the rainfall, we still got significant roll and bounce on the ball. Thank you for a great time!! Would definitely do it again!!

Amazing course

Came out on a hot deal and played with some really nice gentlemen. The staff was very friendly to me as well. The course has an amazing layout and I would recommend to anyone coming to the area to check out this course. Greens were rolling good and lies were fair.
