Its back!

The greens are in great shape again. My son and I love this course. He can play the whole course from the reds at 6 years old. I can get me irons dialed in wile he learns the game. We bring pawpaw out and we all play from the reds.

First time playing coure

Overall a decent course to player friends.

No par 5 holes. Can get through the whole course in about 3 hours.

Staff friendly and pace of play was decent

Greens weren’t in the best shape, most of the bunkers need work

Good for beginners

Played here twice, once with my brother and once by self. When I played by myself I felt the gentleman in the proshop could have been a little more friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the pace as I let others go ahead of me eventhough one of the groups was actually slower than myself. The course needs maintenance on some of the driving paths and the course needs upkeep on the crabgrass growth and the greens. I haven't been to any other course but from my research and my brother's knowledge of courses I would rate this as average.

Great iron practice

Parts 3s & 4s. I didn't know that when I booked. But was pleasantly surprised. The fairways were great. The greens not the best. On this course if your ball is OB its gone. Nice course to really dial in those irons and short wood shots.

Not sure what to say

This course is not great. The price is way too high for what you get, $33 to walk 9 on a Friday mid afternoon. It was hard to distinguish between rough and fairway, and the bunkers had only a thin layer of sand on the surface making them tricky to play out of at best. The pin positions were also in strange places, sometimes perched on a very small ledge or on a ridge, making it almost impossible to get down in 2 putts. I keep giving this course chances, but I am not sure why. I seem to be expecting something better, but always leave disappointed, so I probably won't go back. Just not worth the trip when I can play other similar or better courses in the area for less.

It's Better Than Rating

A good executive course for the value. Tee box 6. Greens 7. Fairway 8. Very friendly and easy pace. It's walkable too.

Much better

Looks like they are finally putting an effort into maintaining this course. All the rain earlier this year sure helped. Last year all the greens were all dirt with some weeds, but much better now.

Would give 0 stars for course condition.

Fairways tall crabgrass. Greens have crabgrass dead areas. Bridges and cart path in disrepair. Overall very disappointing. Went because it was reasonably priced and close. Won’t be returning any time soon.

Wes Review

The course was at a good pace. The only thing was the fairway grass was too high. Losing balls on the fairway was frustrating.

You get what you pay for

Public course, cheaper rates. The greens are the worst greens I've ever seen in my life. There are a lot of players that take 3 to 5 mulligan shots a hole. Staff are cool zero issues with them at all, they're also very helpful if needed.
