Bang for your buck

Nothing special but it’s a fun course for all skill levels. Greens were in better shape than the past, cut short and rolled smooth. I’ve been playing here for 20 years and will continue, thanks

Fun, quirky little course

Pulling up, I was really concerned. The clubhouse was not impressive at all, and I thought I'd made a huge mistake. That changed by the fourth hole. The fairways were decent enough. The tees were below average. The greens were well above. Rolled well with lots of character. Instead of narrowing fairways, this course eliminated all of their bunkers as a cost saving measure. But they still equate as a hazard, in the the grass in them is taller. I'm okay with that decision. The tunnel under the train tracks is a bit surreal, but the holes on that north side are really good. For the price, I'd call this one an overall win.

Good course for players of all levels

We've played this course x4 since September and the only reason I didn't rate it with 5 Stars is the fact that a number of the greens have some serious issues with dead grass and/or bald spots. Also i don't think they've been aerated yet. Other than that a very scenic and fun place to shoot a round of golf!!!

Beautiful setting especially as the colors change this fall!
