Well worth it ...

Second time playing and still very nice. However, there is no reason why it should be cart path only when all is dry and no rain the prior 2-3 days.

Good location and price

Good course to play for change of pace. Reno will be worth porcine if admission. Needs a little more work on bunkers and one off spots along the track. Being a walkable course it needs to have water buckets placed on a few holes. Plenty of walkers to justify it.

Nice Course but terrible everything else

First time at this course. I won't come back until renovations are done.. Didn't know because Golf Now does not tell you. No clubhouse closed due to renovations. So no food, not even a beverage cart on the course. Porta Potty for bathroom. The course itself is very nice but everything else is sub par. Comeback when renovations are done.

Desperate

This is a former private course that has fallen victim of low membership. Pace of place was pretty slow but the crazy thing was there was no starter, we were told to just go to the tee at our time, no one to check if you followed the rules. The club house, or should I say back closet as the main building was closed by the county, and was literally falling apart. No snack except chips, etc. and none of that was relayed until we arrived. Just a really chaotic feel at the course. Overall fairways weren’t too bad, bunkers were trash with a drop needed from everyone of them. The greens were the victim of a ton of play with a lot of unfixed ball marks, but generally didn’t roll terribly, just not great. Probably won’t play here a again .

Hidden gem

This is my new favorite course! Private course open to the public so get in while the getting is good. The clubhouse is undergoing renovation so I imagine who once that's complete its back to members only. There were a couple spots in the fairways where It's bare or a crowded with crab grass The bunkers need help but the superintendent kindly warned us in advance that they're working on it. Overall great experience and highly recommended. I would like to join once the club house innovations are complete .

It’s a course in transition with new management and a great layout. I really enjoyed playing here - pace of play was great, greens were in good shape and relatively fast. Bunkers need work but the superintendent warned me about this ahead of time. I hit 4 iron into a lot of the par 4s and had comfortable distances into the green. Features some fantastic par 3s, including the 18th which is an elevated green next to the clubhouse.

I think the driving range could be re-configured so that stray balls don’t land on the 10th fairway.

Would/will recommend.

Keep this place alive!

Private course turning to some public tee times to bring in additional funds.

You can tell this place when funded is a stellar course. The greens played great. Fairways played good, rough, tee boxes and bunkers need the attention.

Overall for a Hot deal I would definitely make the drive to play this track again.

Nice Course

Played here through tee off. Course us very challenging with well protected snall greens. Once your on the greens are not difficult to read though. We played on a wet day but the course drained well and we were not effected by the weather very much. The sraff was very friendly. It looks like they are soing some renovations to make things better. Overall, a great day.

Meh

Course was in rough shape. Course condition was far worse than the online photos. For a private club it was a let down. Houses that line the course aren’t well cared for either (unmowed back yards) so if your hit OB, you might not find it even if it just barely went in. Range balls were junk. There wasn’t any starter or free waters (something I expected of a private club). Throughout the course there were a few crazy holes that balls can fall into and you may never see them again. It happened to me twice where the shot should have been playable and then I found some crazy hole and I wasn’t able to find my ball.

Meh....don't waste your time playing this cow pasture. The only thing decent was the greens. The pro shop is in a little room similar to a closet. The club house looks like it's under construction. I was very disappointed

Great Layout - A Work In Progress

The course design is super requiring good decision-making particularly from the tee. A lot of the tee shots are blind. Conditions were good for the price paid (~$50 with cart). Greens weren’t particularly fast. However they rolled true. Clubhouse closed - appeared to be undergoing major renovations. Found on GolfNow night before - first tee time of the day with three other GolfNow, day before bookings. Would definitely play again

Great Course & Great Value

By far the best course we have played in the area at a very affordable price. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were pristine aside from 1 or 2 holes. Course layout is another positive and makes for some fun shots and scoring opportunities. The only negative were the bunkers but they warned us ahead of time that the recent rainfall had taken its toll on them. The staff was super friendly and made the round very enjoyable. Overall, the course was in great shape for a very reasonable price. We will definitely be coming back.
