Course in great shape

The course was in excellent condition. Pace was somewhat slow for a weekday afternoon. No sand trap rakes for some reason and one tee box under construction so hole played short. Multiple water hazards afforded sightings of Canada geese, some with chicks, ducks, a Great Blue Heron and even a beaver.

Beautiful Course, but too Slow

The course and amenities and pricing are outstanding. Unfortunately, the pace of play seems to be sacrificed. I will try another day and hope for better luck

Great Local Course

Very nice staff and the course is in great condition for April, cant wait so see it this summer. Played on Patriots Day and the course was booked up but still had a very good pace of play, slowed up on the back a bit but overall good for how busy it was. Food at the restaurant is great as well!

Great Course,Awesome Staff

I’m fairly new to the game ( 3yrs). Great course layout. Can be challenging for new players, But definitely worth it. Pace of play was good. Course was in great shape, Considering it being so late in the season. I’d recommend getting a cart, Course is somewhat hilly. Definitely recommend checking out the restaurant, food was great and scenery was amazing.

Poor course conditioning & run by amateurs (non-golfers)

Classic! They take your money and as soon as you step on the course you can tell they are not putting any money into the course conditions. Tee boxes that are all hacked up, not level, greens punched and ridiculously sanded by amateur staff, it was like putting in a bunker they put so much sand on these greens. We observed golfers cutting in front of us on Hole #10 after the turn and then had another group try to do the same on #17. Ridiculous! No Marshalls on the course. A 2-star for this place was a stretch. I’’m a member at a network of private clubs in Canada and a 9 handicap. This place is a total joke as to how it is run. Course layout was interesting but everything else was garbage on all dimensions that are important to serious golfers. AVOID. Spend your money elsewhere.

There was a frost delay that they did not notify anyone and it caused an hour and a half delay . They also punched the greens and were very sandy which they also didn’t let anyone know about .

Good course, interesting layout and good value

Course is not boring, one of the better designed courses in the area open to public. Plenty of drivable holes, some really challenging holes. Recommend you get a cart, due to the nature of course layout. It is in great shape at the moment.
