Course in best condition it’s ever been

I’ve been playing here for the better part of 15 years and while it’s always been a great place to play, I’ve never seen it in as good of shape as it is right now. From tee box, to fairway, all the way to the greens the condition of the course is truly in exceptional shape. I would even go as far as saying the greens were in the best condition of any course I’ve played so far this year, and I’ve played some really nice tracks.

Hats off to the turf crews and greens keeper for doing such a great job!

Great course so close to perfection

A fun difficult course! Great layout and the price for how well the tee boxes and fair ways are kept is so worth it. Problem is everytime I’ve gone it feels like the greens are just aerated and super hard. Play the gimme’s on the greens and have a blast!

Great course, nice/laid back staff, really lovely scenery

Have played this course 20+ times, usually in great shape and it’s a very pretty area so the scenery is great. Nice/laid back staff and usually very good pace of play on the course. Feel like it’s a good course for golfers of all skill levels

Good ole reliable

Been playing here for years. Overall just a good ole reliable course. What you see is what ya get. No fancy club house or pretentious snobs. Friendly people and a really nice staff. Putting green is nice. No range. Fun course design but not crazy challenging. Only thing is pace of play. A lot of hacks come here and back things up.

First Time Playing

Good course. Unnecessary SLOW Play

The course was in great shape for this time of year, especially the greens. Course layout was nice but pretty tight in some areas. Main main complaint is the pace of play. I played with a buddy (2 some) and we waited 10-15 minutes on every shot due to a foursome in front of us. Not only were we held up, 3 other 2 somes were held up as well. I say the delay was unnecessary because their was a ranger out on the course, knew what group was holding up play, and refused to say anything to them. We waited 20 minutes on the 18th tee before we got too frustrated and left before we got a chance to tee off.
