Very interesting layout, and greens were the best in the state for a public course. The driving range is somewhat limited, but good enough to do the job. Very welcoming and helpful staff. A fun place for a shot-maker.

First Time Playing

Fun day of golf. Interesting layout.

Truly enjoyed this round of golf. First time to play the course but certainly plan to return in the future. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Additionally, all other holders I spoke with on the course were extremely friendly. My only negatives were that there were limited cart paths and some of the tees took a little searching to find. Additionally, the greens had recently been aerated and were tough to putt -- expect they are normally lightning quick. Lastly, they need better yardage markers. I strongly recommend this course if you have never played it before. The Golfnow hot deal rate of $21.00 was great.

Fast and firm greens... Beautiful course

Hardest greens I've ever been on... Like hitting onto concrete, and greens were really fast, guy in the pro shop said 11 on the stimp. Beautiful fairways, long par 4s, par 3s are only180 from the tips, except 8 witch was close to 230, uphill, into the wind.... I chipped in 3 times or could have shot close to 80, finished at 72
