All of the tee boxes are tore up. Greens were not good either. Don’t waste your money on this farm land trying to be a golf course

Maintenance

Nice layout but could have many upgrades! Greens not very well maintained could be a beautiful course! Was a little disappointed.

I dig it!!!

Fun track! Challenging for sure. Some tight fairways and a lot of hills. For a beginner like me, it’s an excellent course to learn and hone your skills. At $27 for 18 and a cart, it’s my new favorite place to play. Fairways are pretty clean, rough is a little long, greens are a little rough. But pace of play was great, even on a league night. Staff was awesome. Value for money was amazing. This will be my new home course.

Front desk has an attitude

Walked in 15min prior to tee time, gave the front desk my name which I paid for through the online app, he proceeded to imply I gave him a fake name. I showed him my ID and was not in the mood with his bad jokes about my name. Had a great day of golf though! Terrible front desk clerk. Older guy, was probably trying to make a bad joke, but it’s not funny when it’s your name. Will not come back.

Good golfing yesterday

Nice late morning/early aftn on the course. Well maintained.

(Too bad some other golfers don't take a few seconds to repair their greens ballmarks).
