Good value

My wife and I enjoyed our round. The course is a little tight in places but generally good. The front nine needs the nice new paths we found on the back nine. Having not played there it would have been helpful to have hole layouts on the posts at each hole.

Great course! A must go.

Played the Pioneer course on a Monday with a 12:30 tee time and had a great time. The course was very well maintained and the staff was very friendly. Even had a couple gals behind me and my buddy who caught up to us due to the slower group in front of us and they encouraged us and laughed with us during our tee shots. Overall amazing golf course and will be coming here on a weekly basis. 10/10

Pioneer

The course was in very good shape and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We got behind inconsiderate slow playing groups on both 9's which made the pace of play very slow. 5 1/2 hours to play the round.
