First Off!!

Like this course, wish it was maybe watered more.. some fairways, rough areas, teeboxes hard as a rock.. and a few tee boxes almost unplayable.. that being said, I like the overall layout of course.. greens did have a ton of sand on them..

Course has some areas for improvement. But we live in the general area and wish we would have found this hidden gem earlier.

Needs water

A few burned out greens need repair. Rough was brown dead grass. Fairways were decent. outside of the few bad greens, it was a good value for the price.

First time and last time

First time playing this course and will also be my last time. Overall course is in poor shape. Tee boxes are in bad shape, fairways and rough are burnt up from lack of watering. Greens were the only thing that was watered. Don’t bother. I can think of half a dozen other courses that are only a couple of bucks more that are in better shape than this one.

Great day on the course

Always enjoy my round of golf here. Plays great for the average golfers but don't get me wrong, low scorers have a challenge as well. Course is very well maintained and the staff there treat everyone well. I'm definitely going back.

Very fun course

Great course for just about everyone! The front 9 is very open layout, giving every level of golfer a Good opportunity to do well. Transitioning to the back 9, allows for more challenging holes with more OB areas. The course condition was very decent considering the very hot weather lately, which definitely affected the green speed. All in all, don’t think twice about playing this course, you won’t be disappointed!

Plays how you would think

Nice country course but no beer cart and the driving range has been out of service the last 3-4 times I’ve been there. Greens are pretty fast but surprisingly sticky. Usually open but today’s was over booked and pace of play became a struggle. Overall would suggest for a fun round with the boys

Fun, challenging course

I like the layout of the course and the different challenges it offers. The tee boxes need some work because they tend to be on the harder side. Overall fun course for my handicap.

Off the beaten track

This course has a lot of different types of holes. A few of the greens are much more sloped than they at first appear, but putts roll well. Some of the trees put in 30 years ago to separate the holes and keep people from cutting corners are much bigger now, narrowing the course. There are only three bunkers on the golf course, one on #10, two on #18. The recent dry weather has put some stress on the fairways, but they are very playable. A few of the tees are in shaded areas (something very common to public golf courses) and lack good turf.

Pace of play is usually very good, unless you get unlucky.

There was no beverage cart service when I played, but there are three water barrel locations (##3, 13, and 15 tees, and #15 is a short cart ride from #6).

I've been playing this track for a long time and keep coming back.

Awful Course Conditions

I don’t like writing bad reviews but this course was in awful shape. It looked like they were bailing hay and some holes because the grass was so long. A few of the greens actually had standing water on it. This course was so wet it was bad. One of the workers that I talked to on the lawnmower stated that he was there until 1:30 AM running the sprinklers. It almost seemed like they ran the sprinklers for 12 hours straight. I should’ve taken some more pictures. The tea boxes were in rough shape and so we’re most of the fairways. A few of the sandboxes actually had weeds growing in them and it didn’t seem like they trimmed/weed whacked anything on the course.
