Good value

Had just rained and pace was slow due to cart path only as expected. Course delivers a good challenge without being overly complicated. Course conditions aren’t great but aren’t terrible either. Great value as it seems to be difficult playing a Saturday morning for under $100 at most courses.

Nice, challenging course.

One of my favorite courses. Great value for the money, and very good staff. Fairways were in poor condition, presumably from recent aeration or overseeing.

Course Upkeep

This would be an excellent golf course if the condition of the course was in better shape. Sticks and branches from the trees were all over the place. The tee boxes had a lot of uneven clumpy grass growing. I'm gonna come back later in the summer to see if things are better. Thanks

Never going back

1) Despite booking for 18 holes, was told my group could only play 9 because sunset was at 7:20pm. My tee time was 3:50pm. I understand possibly not getting a full round in, but I'm an adult. I can head back to the club house when it starts getting dark.

2) My group was paired with a walker, despite 2 empty tee times before ours and 2 empty tee times after ours. WHY?!

3) The cart disabled twice because I was in a "restricted area". The restricted areas were THE CART PATH. You know... the smooth blacktop that we were told to stay on.

The maintenance crew deserves credit for course conditions

With no rain in more than a month, I was pleased with the quality of the tees, fairways and greens. Although brown, there was grass in the fairways that avoided tight lies. I could sink my tee into the tees. The greens were green and reasonably-paced.
