Love

This old school Bill Diddel course. Course has it all great varied layout with holes over flat terrain and hilly terrain to go along with classic greens.

Usually have a great time here. Was playing a round a little slower than usual. Seemed to accidentally hit into a group of older ladies. She proceeded to harass me like I was being intentional. By no means. The Marshall seemed to take her side tho. I guess players with a faster speed will just be penalized at this course. Had a good day shooting 84 from the pro tees. Will come back. Just not as often. The ravines has a better Marshall system in place. But wish this course the best.

I hadn’t played this course this summer because the rack rate is too expensive for what you get. But as a Golf Now Hot Deal, it was worth it. I was surprised that several traps were under repair, since I think they had a major sand trap rebuild just 3 or 4 years ago. The greens and fairways were in very good shape. A couple of the greens have ridiculous amount of slope (11 & 13). given how fast the greens generally are here. I was above the hole on 13 in regulation and hit my putt about 2 inches and it rolled 5 yards off the green! A couple of the holes are impossible for a middle handicap golfer (7 & 13). For years I thought #7 was a par 5! Then I got a 4 on it one day and was celebrating my birdie and my playing partner told me that was just a par. This course is on a small plot of land, so several holes are claustrophobic. I’ve played the course enough as a guest that I’m used to the weird holes, but I didn’t like them at first. The new electric carts are very nice, with great pick-up and automatic parking brake. But the cart paths are REALLY bumpy and in bad repair.

This is an “old school” parkland, golf course that was very enjoyable to play. Two couples on a golf trip found a very playable, generally fun course in excellent shape. Tee boxes are near pushed up greens. Some longer holes but a number of risk-reward holes. You could take driver, but had to be aware of a large number of mature trees. Greens were in very good shape played at 6300 yards and took just over 4 hours

First hole and 10th hole tee lead to criss crossed fairways. Which I have not seen. Everyone was very friendly..

Only complaint is #1 tee box/fairway and #10 tee box/fairway cross one another. Be aware of this strange layout. Easy to get hit by a ball, if your not paying attention to 10 tee box

This is a pretty course. Trees, rolling hills, and some water.. This is a private club, however, I reserved tee times through Golf Now at a bargain rate.
