First Time Playing

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

Nice course

We only played 9 holes because we got rained out but it seemed like a nice course given better weather! Definitely going back on a better weather day and playing all 18 for sure

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.

Nice course

It’s a nice course but for whatever reason they sent people off the back and completely killed the pace of play for those making the turn, just something to keep in mind if you don’t have all day to play

Great course

In years past the course may not have been in as good shape and for the cost, we rarely golfed there. We have been here a couple of times this year and the improvements are very noticeable!!! Beautifully cared for these days!!!
