Challenging course - loved it!

The staff was wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. We loved the course, the layout was challenging it allowed us to use clubs in our bag that we are not typically able to utilize. Looking forward to heading out there again before the end of the season. Kudo's to the bartender - our Bloody Mary was to die for!!

5 Stars Since New Management

This course should be rated higher as you will see if you read the comments. The only reason it isn't rated higher is that the ratings from before the management change bring it down. This should be adjusted by GolfNow or GolfAdvisor or whatever. The rating is deceptive considering the recent changes.

Enjoy this course

Challenging course with "old style" holes (small greens) and blind shots but very playable. The Golf Now rate was phenomenal.

Greatly Improved

My wife and I play here frequently. I used to play when the past owners owned it and I quit going there because course conditions were terrible. The course now is in better shape. still needs improvement. I do not think they have a watering system and the fairways are quite hard. The greens are not bad. I book through Golf Now and there are some great deals. I would recommend this course .

B-

For the most part it was a pretty good day. Handful of holes were very dry and burnt up. Only other complaint would be that it seemed like there were workers sitting on every hole. I like that they are out doing their jobs but to me it seemed like they were always in the way. Had dinner in the clubhouse after round. It was fantastic. Fantastic food and service. Definitely going back for at least the dinning.

Much Improved

I have played this course several times over the past few years. There is new management since March of last year and the course is much improved. The fairways are cut short now, used to be like most roughs . The greens are in good shape. I booked a t-time through Golf Now and this is a great deal for the money. I played at around 1:30pm and the course was not at all congested. I think we played 9 holes in about one and a half hours.

Tree and leaf abundance

I know it's late in the year but I've never seen so many leaves on the course. Fairways covered. Greens covered. Hard fairways, lost ball on the green. No attempt to blow leaves off. Nice course in the spring or summer.

Surprisingly good course

This course is a shorter course but none the less challenging. Narrow fairways and lots of bends. Course was very well maintained and this was not the first time playing it. Hope to play 18 very soon.

New Owners have improved conditions

I golfed the course on father's day this yaer. The new ownership has made great improvements to the conditions of the fairways and greens since then. The owners (Rich and Steve) were both on-hand and were very friendly to talk with. Great food and drinks in the clubhouse.

1 man scramble was a hit

Played in the July 5th 1 man scramble. It was a fair format. We had prizes for first place, CTP's, and skins. Cannot wait for the next event.

Awesome Time With My Family!

Big improvements

I used to play here every July 4th for the last few years and I have noticed major improvements in course conditions. The greens are rolling very well. The fairways still need some work but are improving everyday. Definitely recommend this course. It is a bit short but the tight holes and dog legs make for a good challenge.

You pay for what you get

Course is a joke. Staff is hit or miss. I guess if you just want to lose golf balls and drink beer its a great place. If you want an enjoyable course stay away
